Answer to Lottery Trivia Question #10: How can Lottery Players Use Fadic Numbers?

Last week's Lottery Trivia Question #10 was:

• What is Fadic Addition?
  
• How can it be used to select lottery numbers?
• Where can you learn more about it?

The Correct Answers are:

• Fadic Addition is the process of adding together the digits of a number, reducing its value the a single digit from 0 to 9. For example, assume that your birthday is October 25 1984, or 10/25/1984. In fadic addition, you add both numbers of the month, day, and year together to obtain 1 7 22. Whenever a resulting number is greater than two digits, you repeat the addition until only one number is left. Since the year value is 22, you must then add the two digits together and get 4. So, in fadic form, our month, day, year birthday is 1 7 4. If we then add these together we get 12. Since it contains 2 numbers, we must them together. Thus, our resulting birthday lucky number is 3!

• While Fadic Addition is most commonly used in most forms of Numerology, it can also be used by lottery players in a variety of ways. For example, a pick 3 player may obtain his favorite number by reducing his birthday to the fadic month, day, year as shown above and play 1-7-4. A Mega Millions or Powerball player may select his playing combination by randomly selecting Fadic Numbers for each number. Once obtained, the Fadic number can be translated into the underlying number and played. For example, assume that you wish to select the Megaball based on the Fadic Addition of your birthday of Oct 25 1984. Using the example above, the your fadic number is 3. Working backwards, we find that the underlying numbers: 3, 12, 21, 30, 39, and 48 all produce a fadic number of 3. So these are the numbers that we play.
  

• You can learn more about Fadic Addition by reading the following articles and searching for the word fadic:
