Lottery Strategies to Help You Win Japan Lotto
Lottery numbers are randomly drawn. But randomly drawn numbers form patterns that can be tracked and used to our advantage. Having carefully analyzed all the drawings in past lotto results of more than 200 different lotto games worldwide, with histories going back as far as 1955, we have verified the following incredibly simple rule:
That which is MOST POSSIBLE happens MOST OFTEN.
That which is LEAST POSSIBLE happens LEAST OFTEN.
That which is LEAST POSSIBLE happens LEAST OFTEN.
The key to Smart Luck's successful lotto number selection methods is playing the probabilities. If you play a pattern that occurs only five percent of the time, you can expect that pattern to lose 95 percent of the time, giving you no chance to win 95 percent of the time. So, don't buck the probabilities.
How to WIN Japan Lotto
ODD-EVEN LOTTO NUMBER TIPS
When you select your Japanese Loto numbers, try to have a relatively even mix of odd and even numbers. All odd numbers or all even numbers are rarely drawn, occurring less than one percent of the time. The best mix is to have 2/4, 4/2 or 3/3, which means two odd and four even, or four odd and two even, or three odd and three even. One of these three patterns will occur in 81 percent of the drawings.
HIGH-LOW LOTTO NUMBER TIPS
Winning numbers are usually spread across the entire number field. If we take a number field and cut it in half, we have the low half and the high half. In a 43-number game like Japan Lotto 6, numbers 1 to 21 would be in the low half, and numbers 22 to 43 would be in the high half. All high numbers or all low numbers are rarely drawn, occurring only one percent of the time. The best mix is to have 2/4, 4/2 or 3/3, which means two high and four low, or four high and two low, or three high and three low. Winning number groups with these three patterns occur in 81 percent of all drawings.
LOTTERY NUMBER GROUP STRATEGIES
Look at a list of past winning numbers for the Japan Loto game you play, and you'll see, more often than not, that one or more of the number groups is not represented. For example, in the combination 5-14-17-32-38-43, there are no 20's. Tracking and studying Number Groups can help you decide which group to omit and which group to give extra heavy play.
LOTTERY GAMES SKIPPED STRATEGIES
List the number of games skipped (games out) since the last hit (win) for each of the winning numbers during the last five games. Then mark the number of times each skip occurred. If any skip from 0 to 5 did not occur, play the Lotto numbers that are out that many games. (Help working with lotto games skipped.)
LOTTO NUMBER SUM ADVICE - PLAY A BALANCED GAME®
After you choose six numbers you want to play, add them together and make sure that the sum of the six numbers adds up to somewhere between 115 and 185. Sums that fall within that range will account for over 70 percent of all lottery jackpots won.
REPEAT HITS LOTTERY TIPS
In Japan Loto 6, on average, one lottery number will be a repeat hit from the last drawing every 58 percent of the time.
HOT NUMBER LOTTERY SECRETS
Numbers that have been out (losers) for five games or less account for about half of the winning numbers drawn. Losing numbers that have been out ten games or less account for 77 percent of all the winning numbers. This tells us that hot numbers are more likely to hit, but don't forget to include at least one long shot in your group of 6.
COLD NUMBER LOTTERY SECRETS
It is difficult to know when a cold number will end a long losing streak. If you play a number every drawing because you think it is due, you could be chasing it for many months. (Number 45 in New York Lotto sat out 100 drawings before it finally hit.) Although, when a number has been out for 70 games or so, it might be worth chasing.
Lottery Pools and Lottery Syndicates
POOL YOUR WAY TO LOTTO RICHES
Several of the 109 Lotto jackpots won with Smart Luck lottery systems were won by groups of people who pooled their money. Sharing the ticket cost with others stretches your Lotto budget. By playing with a group, you can afford to buy more lottery tickets—and play larger wheeling systems—than you could (or should) by yourself. Draw up an agreement and have the members of your pool sign it.
How to Get Lucky in Lotto
CASH IN ON THE LUCK OF OTHERS
When you form a Lotto pool, your group is also pooling its aggregate luck. A jackpot could happen because of the luck just one member brings to your pool. Select your partners carefully. Share your luck with winners, not losers. Avoid negative people. Not only are they unlucky, but they dampen enthusiasm and drain energy from others. You want to enhance your own luck, not dilute its strength. One quick way to tell winners from losers is simply to ask them: 'Do you think you are a lucky person?' Many people quickly admit, 'I'm unlucky. I never win anything.' They won't bring good luck to your group either.
CASH IN ON A POSITIVE ATTITUDE
No one should play games of chance out of desperation because they need the winnings. The needy have a greater fear of losing the hard-earned money they gamble with. It is just one of life's dirty tricks that the very fear of losing blocks the winning forces. Thoughts are charged with energy, especially when triggered by emotion. Fear attracts exactly that which one fears. A strong desire for a goal that is charged with positive energy, attracts a positive response, especially when every effort is made to attain that goal.
Lotto Wheels have won Millions for others, you can be next!
After you choose the best numbers with number statistics, you can improve your odds of winning larger prizes by using lotto wheeling systems. It's simple, easy as A-B-C to wheel pick-6 lotto numbers using the Balanced Wheels in the Wheel Six Gold lottery software. You get a minimum win guarantee with every wheel!
Lottery Wheels
USE BALANCED WHEEL® SYSTEMS
Balanced Wheel® Systems allow you to bet a large group of numbers (more than 6), play scientific combinations of that group of numbers, and get a specific minimum win guarantee. Balanced Wheels® force all the winning numbers that are in your group to come together to give you at least one prize if some or all of the winning numbers are in your chosen group.
It's true that the more numbers you wheel, the easier it is to trap the winning numbers in your chosen group. But to get the most leverage for your money, the optimum number of numbers to wheel is not more than four or five numbers over HALF the numbers in your game. To win Japan Lotto6, wheel less than about 25 of the 43 total numbers. Otherwise, you'll be spending MORE money chasing a SMALLER guaranteed prize. You benefit more by wheeling a carefully selected group of lotto numbers.
THE BEST WAY TO WHEEL ALL THE LOTTO NUMBERS IN YOUR GAME
Any one wheeling system that covers ALL the numbers in the game is too spread out, making the win guarantee not worth the wager. There are smart ways to wheel all the numbers in the game by using Trap-by-Overlap and other wheeling strategies covered on pages 137 to 142 in the Lottery Master Guide.
Most of Smart Luck's lottery winners used a Balanced Wheel® in addition to her Smart Luck® number selection methods. You can use a FREE interactive Balanced Wheel® System that won multiple jackpots. Read about our lottery winners, too. And when you win a jackpot with Smart Luck lotto systems, tell us about it so you can be added to Gail Howard's growing list of winners. If you don't want your name publicized, we will honor that.
Save Money by Knowing Lotto Numbers to Avoid
Lotto players who select their lottery numbers thoughtlessly or foolishly are destined to lose even before the drawing takes place. By knowing which number combinations and patterns to avoid, you'll have an advantage over such players—and save money, too.
AVOID NUMBER COMBINATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN DRAWN BEFORE
Many players like to bet the numbers that have won someone else a big jackpot, and by doing so, they are almost guaranteed NOT to win one themselves. In Japan Loto 643, with two drawings a week, a set of 6 numbers has a chance of being drawn once every 57,693 years!!! This should also answer the question we are so often asked, 'Shouldn't I keep playing the same set of numbers every week because they are due to hit sometime?'
AVOID BETTING SIX CONSECUTIVE LOTTO NUMBERS
Six consecutive numbers have never been drawn in any state or international lotto game. Smart Luck has all the drawing results for more than 180 state and international lottery games, going back more than fifty years! Even five consecutive numbers is a very rare occurrence that, in most Lotto games, has never happened once.
AVOID BETTING ONE LOTTO NUMBER GROUP
Never choose all six numbers from one number group, such as all single digits, or all teens, or all 20's, etc. All six winning numbers drawn from one group is highly unlikely.
AVOID THE LOTTO COMBINATION 1-2-3-4-5-6
The most popular set of numbers most often played is: 1-2-3-4-5-6. Thousands of tickets are bought with this combination every drawing. The selection is too far out of balance to come up in a random drawing.
AVOID PATTERN BETTING
Pattern betting is an even more popular method of marking bet slips. Patterns of numbers marked in a row to make a straight line, either across the bet slip vertically or diagonally get heavy play—which means sharing the prize with others if the numbers are drawn as winners. Other designs such as patterns of initials or numbers or crosses also get heavy play.
AVOID NUMBER MULTIPLES
Other popular combinations that get heavy play are the number multiples, especially 5-10-15-20-25-30 and 7-14-21-28-35-42.
AVOID ALL SAME LAST DIGITS
Many people like to play same last digits, such as 3-13-23-33-43, or all digits that end in seven, or some other favorite lucky lottery number. Even four same last digits occur in less than two-tenths of one percent of all drawings. Winning sets of numbers with three last digits the same occur in less than 3 percent of all drawings. Winning sets of numbers with no more than one repeated last digit represent nearly 90 percent of all drawings.
AVOID LOW NUMBER COMBINATIONS
The majority of Lotto players like to play the calendar numbers, such as birth dates and anniversaries—and their children's ages. This means that the most heavily played numbers are 1 through 31. Japan Lotto has 43 numbers. If you play only the calendar numbers, you might be sharing your jackpot with dozens of other winners. It's not to say that you shouldn't play your personal numbers if you feel these lucky numbers are good to play. But we recommend that you include a couple of high numbers so that just in case your numbers do hit, you win a prize that's worth something.
NIX LOTTO QUICK PICKS
Quick Picks are used by lazy people who want to be in the action without putting any effort into winning. When you read articles about jackpot winners, it appears as though they all used either Quick Picks, birth dates, or their children's ages. The vast majority of people do play that way. If the majority of tickets sold are Quick Picks, then it makes sense that the majority of jackpots won should be won with Quick Picks. However, when you see the actual statistics, as we did, you'll find that you have a better chance of winning by picking numbers randomly out of a hat than by using Quick Picks.

According to Chapter 23 of the Criminal Code of Japan, gambling is generally a banned activity, with a few exceptions for certain motorsports and horse racing. Illegal casinos, mahjong parlors, and mobile gambling sites have caused several gamblers and owners quite the headache with the local governments.
Interestingly, there are also a few special laws that allow gambling in terms of football pools, public sports, and the oh-so-famous lottery. Through these regulations, members of the Japanese community and tourists are free to satisfy their gambling needs, while the Japanese governments, both national and local, benefit by having another form of income.
For tourists who want to get a taste of gambling in Japan, participating in the lottery is highly recommended, as it is the easiest to learn and follow.
Lottery in Japan – Brief History, Minimum Age, and Tax on Prize
Japanese lotteries are referred to as Takarakuji by the locals. These are held at the different prefecture of Japan, particularly in the large cities, and follow a regular schedule for the whole year.
According to records, the Japanese people have been playing the lottery as early as the 1600s but it was banned sometime during the 1840s.
The lottery was only reintroduced to the community during the year 1937 when the government urgently needed a source of funds for the war. The local officials passed a bill known as the Temporary Funds Adjustment Act of 1937 to be able to establish Japan’s first national lottery. Just a year after, this act was repealed, only to once again be applied in 1945 for the World War II.
In 1954, the lottery was put under the responsibility of the local governments before being passed to the Japan Lottery Association established in 1964. The same association has since been in charge of authorizing Japan’s lotteries and corresponding regulations.
As Japanese lotteries are meant to be a form of entertainment, the activity has no implemented age limit or tax on winnings. Unfortunately for foreign travelers, only bona fide residents of Japan can claim/collect lottery prizes.
Nationwide Lottery Systems in Japan (Takarakuji) by the Japan Lottery Association
The lotteries in Japan can be categorized into three main categories - scratch cards, selected numbers, and unique numbers. Lottery tickets are typically sold at authorized takarakuji booths but they can also be bought at select ATMs. The price of buying a lottery ticket starts at 100 yen and can go up to 500 yen.
Some of the most popular Japanese lotteries include:
Scratch Cards
Scratch cards, also referred to as instant lotto tickets, have been available in Japan since the year 1984. They can be bought at any lottery stand/booth across the country and come in different versions.
The most popular types that are sold for 200 yen each are the Scratch Lottery, Puzzles Scratch, Mrs. Happy Link, and Premium Scratch. There are also scratch cards available for 100 yen each such as the Lucky 3.
Playing this kind of lottery is pretty much done the same way as in other countries. Instructions on how to win are available on the card, for those unfamiliar with scratch cards.
Numbers 3 and Numbers 4
Numbers 3 and Numbers 4 serve as the standard daily number lottery games of Japan. A player must pick three or four numbers from 1 to 9, according to his preferred order. One bet costs 200 yen for both lottery types.
A person can win a prize through different ways including:
- Getting all three or four numbers in the right order.
- Getting all three or four number regardless of order.
- Getting the first two numbers in the right order. (Numbers 3)
- Getting the first two numbers regardless of order. (Numbers 3)
- Getting the last two numbers in the right order. (Numbers 3)
- Getting the first three numbers in the right order. (Numbers 4)
- Getting the first three numbers regardless of order. (Numbers 4)
Prizes vary greatly for Numbers 3 and Numbers 4 but are usually higher than 12,000 yen.
Loto 6/Lotto 6
Loto 6/Lotto 6 refers to a kind of Japanese lotto that is drawn two times a week – once on Mondays and again on Thursdays. A lottery ticket costs 200 yen and features seven slots for the player to arrange six chosen numbers from 1 – 43, and another one to serves as a bonus number.
The jackpot, which sometimes reaches 1 billion yen, is won by getting all numbers and the bonus number correct. Lower prizes may also be won through the following combinations:
- Getting 5 out of the 6 winning numbers and the bonus number correct.
- Getting 5 out of the 6 winning numbers correct.
- Getting 4 out of the 6 winning numbers correct.
- Getting 3 out of the 6 winning numbers correct.
Lotto 7
Lotto 7 is similar to Lot 6/Lotto 6 but requires the player to choose his numbers from 1 – 37, rather than 1 – 43. Furthermore, each lottery ticket features nine slots for the player to arrange his seven chosen numbers and two bonus numbers.
Prizes may be one through the following combinations/correct draws:
- Getting all seven winning numbers correct.
- Getting 6 out of the 7 winning numbers and 1 out of the 2 bonus numbers correct.
- Getting 6 out of the 7 winning numbers correct.
- Getting 5 out of the 7 winning numbers correct.
- Getting 4 out of the 7 winning numbers correct.
- Getting 3 out of the 7 winning numbers and 1 out of the 2 bonus numbers correct.
Mini Lotto
Mini Lotto was created during the year 1999 as a weekly lottery game that is drawn every Tuesday of the week. Each Mini Lotto ticket features six slots for a player to arrange five chosen numbers from 1 to 31 and another one to serves as a bonus number.
Getting all numbers in the right order wins the jackpot, which is typically within the range of six to fourteen million yen. Players may only win lower prizes (50,000 – 150,000 yen) if they get 4 out of the 5 winning numbers and the bonus number right; without the bonus number, the prize usually falls between 5,000 – 10,000 yen.
Jumbo Lottery
The Jumbo Lottery refers to four lotteries that follow the same rules on winning but are held at different times of the year, usually during the months of March, June, August, and December.
Each lottery ticket costs about 300 yen and features seven slots for the player to arrange six chosen numbers from 1-9, followed by another chosen number from 1-68. As with other Japanese lotteries, the jackpot is one by getting all numbers correct and in the right order, while smaller prizes may be one through other combinations.
Nenmatsu Jumbo Takarakuji (Year-End Jumbo Lottery)
The Nenmatsu Jumbo Takarakuji, or better known as the Year-End Jumbo Lottery, serves as the largest lottery game in Japan and the rest of Asia. Its rules are similar to the Jumbo Lottery discussed above but is only drawn once throughout the year, particularly on the eve of New Year’s Day.
Tips on Increasing the Chances of Winning the Lottery in Japan
Winning lotteries, or any other form of gambling, basically depend on one’s luck. However, many enthusiasts believe that there are patterns when it comes to these activities and have a handful of tips for players interested in increasing their chances of winning at Lotto 6:
Choosing Odd and Even Numbers
When choosing a set of numbers, a player must remember to create a mix of odd and even numbers. Winning number groups that consist of purely odd or even numbers rarely happen and only make up less than 1% of all lottery draws.
For Lotto 6, the recommended ratios of odd-even numbers are 2:4, 4:2, and 3:3.
Choosing High and Low Numbers
Similarly, number groups should be created with the concept of keeping a good ratio of the high and low numbers. It is also pretty rare for a winning set to just consist of numbers from 1-21 or 22-43. As such, the same principle of maintaining a 2:4, 4:2, and 3:3 ratio should be applied for choosing low and high numbers.
Study Previous Lottery Winning Number Groups
As previously mentioned, it is believed that lottery draws have a pattern to them. According to experts, this pattern can be seen by studying the previous lottery draws and looking at the number groups (0 – 9, 10 – 19, 20 – 29, etc.) that are consistently drawn.
Keeping track of these things may help in wisely deciding which numbers to aim for when making a huge bet.
Study Previous Lottery Repeated Winning Numbers
Studying previous lottery draws can also help determine which numbers may repeat in the next draw. Statistics show that one lottery number from a winning draw is always present in the following draw more than fifty percent of the time.
Look at the Sum of the Chosen Numbers
Once six numbers have been chosen, it is recommended that a player add up all his numbers and look at the sum. According to records, sums that fall in the range of 115 – 185 make up seventy percent of all lottery draws that have occurred in Japan.
Avoid Using Previous Winning Number Combinations
Making use of previous winning number combinations may be tempting but is one of the surest ways to not win the lottery. Probabilities show that a particular combination can only be drawn once every fifty-seven thousand years or so.
Avoid Choosing Numbers of the Same Number Group
Just as using previously drawn number combinations is a bad idea, filling one’s lottery ticket with numbers all from the same number group is not advised. Drawing a winning set all from the group of 10s, 20s, 30s, etc. is highly unlikely and has not even happened before.
Avoid Using Pattern Betting on Lottery Tickets
Pattern betting refers to using the arrangement of the numbers of the lottery ticket as a basis for choosing one’s numbers. This includes going for the numbers that make a straight line, diagonal line, or any other shape on the lottery ticket.
Although there is a chance of winning, there is a higher chance of many other members of the community having the same set of numbers, which basically makes the prize insignificant.
Avoid Using Number Multiples
Another popular pattern that is not recommended but many players like to use is the number multiples. This refers to combinations such as 4 – 8 – 12 – 16 – 20 – 24, 6 – 12 – 18 – 24 – 30 – 36, or 7 – 14 – 21 – 28 – 35 – 42.
Avoid Choosing Numbers with the Same Last Digits
Numbers that end in the same digits may be amusing to look at but rarely gets chosen at the lottery draw. In fact, records show that such combinations only make up 3% of the total draws made in Japan.
Avoid Creating Combinations Consisting of Consecutive Numbers
One of the most popular lotto combinations played by many is 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6. Thousands of lottery tickets with this combination come up every draw but has never been drawn as the winning set, given its widely out of balance proportions and low probability.
Stay Positive when Buying a Lottery Ticket
Finally, experts and avid fans of the Japanese lotteries believe that nothing beats a positive outlook. When purchasing a lottery ticket, a good energy must be kept in order to attract an equally pleasant response or outcome.
Approaching the activity with the fear of losing will not do any good and basically just ruins the entertaining game by causing stress on oneself.
