Because every lotto number is equally likely to be picked.

so it's literally impossible? there's no pattern that I could pick on?

Not impossible, but there are too many confounding variables.

The lottery is close enough to being random that it might as well be random.

There are other lotteries that people have cracked in the past because the patterns were not random enough. But the people who cracked them typically made more money doing their day jobs than spending time hunting down winning lottery tickets.

There is an amazing Asian gang that has cracked this one card game. It's super cool how they do it. They have a camera up their sleeve, card recognizing software, a little pick that goes under their fingernail so they can expose each card in the dealer's deck as they are cutting the deck in half, and an ear piece to hear the answers from the computer analysis. It looks amazing.

where can I find info about that asian gang?

also if I had all the information about the lottery I would participate in and infinite intelligence, I would be able to predict the winning number, right?
