Some players believe letting it ride (the most frequently winning) is the optimal approach to choosing winning numbers. Others believe that if every number has an equal chance of appearing, the least frequent numbers just may be due for the next win. Yet another strategy is to play the "clumped" numbers that have been hot recently or to find the numbers that haven't since that hot streak has to end soon.
