Many people consider the lottery to be a form of gambling based entirely on luck. After all, every lottery uses a random process to select winning numbers. However, another group thinks they can beat the odds with horoscopes and astrological signs. Recent research indeed supports the idea that horoscopes can predict lottery winnings.
But which zodiac signs will be the big lottery winners in 2022?
The star signs that most often win the lottery are Gemini and Pisces. The zodiac signs that win the lottery the least often are Sagittarius and Aries. These projections assume that what happened in the sample size before is true in future designs, and there is no guarantee of this.
The following guide discusses more about horoscopes and zodiac signs and how these topics help predict lottery success.
The basics of a horoscope and astrological signs
A horoscope relies on an astrological chart to make predictions about future events and the fate of people. The astrology chart is based on how the Sun, Moon and planets are aligned during a person’s birth month.
Some believe that how these cosmic entities align has a big influence on personality and luck. For example, a Gemini is social in nature and fits in well with others.
Astrologers interpret horoscopes based on the Ptolemaic system, which refers to the movement patterns of planets and stars relative to Earth. The Ptolemaic system divides the sky into the following 12 zodiac birth signs:
- Aquarius – Born January 20 to February 18
- Pisces – Born February 19 to March 20
- Aries – Born March 21 to April 19
- Taurus – Born April 20 to May 20
- Gemini – Born May 21 to June 20
- Cancer – Born June 21 to July 22
- Leo – Born July 23 to August 22
- Virgo – Born August 23 to September 22
- Libra – Born September 23 to October 22
- Scorpio – Born October 23 to November 21
- Sagittarius – Born November 22 to December 21
- Capricorn – Born December 22 to January 19
The word zodiac translates to “circle of animals.” The circle represents a space belt that the planets travel through.
Each zodiac sign derives its characteristics from the celestial bodies and elements associated with it. The elements and their associated signs include:
- Air (calm breeze of reasoning) – Aquarius, Gemini, Libra
- Earth (rock solid) – Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo
- Fire (flames of passion) – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
- Water (emotional) – Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio
What does research show about star signs and lottery winners?
As reported by the Daily Mail, the Lott conducted a study on which zodiac signs are most successful with lotteries.
Their numbers reveal that Pisces (February 19-March 20) won the most lottery prizes in 2019.
The Pisces won 11.6% of the “first lottery prizes”. They were followed by Gemini, who had 9.9% of the biggest gains. Virgos and Aquarians rounded out the top four, taking 8.9% and 8.5% of the top prizes, respectively.
Conversely, Sagittarians had the least luck in the lottery. They only collected 6.0% of the biggest lottery winnings. Libras (7.7%), Capricorns (7.7%) and Aries (7.5%) didn’t fare very well either.
Here are the full results of Lott’s study:
- Pisces – 11.6% top lottery wins of 2019
- Gemini – 9.9%
- Virgo – 8.9%
- Aquarius – 8.5%
- Scorpio – 8.5%
- Taurus – 8.5%
- Cancer – 8.2%
- Leo – 7.7%
- Libra – 7.7%
- Capricorn – 7.7%
- Aries – 7.5%
- Sagittarius – 6%
Lott’s thoughts on Pisces being the biggest winners
Lauren Cooney, Lott’s spokeswoman, explained how Pisces’ personality traits could affect how they spend their earnings.
“Pisces are generally considered to be generous and empathetic in nature, with a deep sense of kindness and compassion,” Cooney said.
“It would be interesting to know if these traits transcended their lottery winnings and shared their prizes with loved ones.”
Cooney also explained how the Lott noticed that the Powerball favored certain numbers over others in 2019. Although not related to star signs, these “hot” numbers are believed to produce more Powerball wins.
“There are numbers we’ve seen come out of the barrel more often than others”she explained.
Their results show that from mid-2018 to the end of 2019, number 17 was the hottest having been drawn 23 times over a sixteen-month period.
Meanwhile, 12 was the ‘cold’ number after being selected just three times in the same period.
Learn more about the correlation between astrological signs and lottery winnings
Again, Pisces had the most luck in the lottery in 2019. However, you can draw broader conclusions about which signs will win the most in 2022 by looking at each other’s traits.
The following information explains how each sign’s traits correlate to their odds of winning and games of choice.
Aquarius is a kind of dichotomy. This zodiac sign alludes to people who are as unpredictable as they are logical.
Zodiac sign: Aquarius
Therefore, Aquarians will feel more comfortable with lotteries that offer big jackpots (eg Mega Millions, Powerball). Their logical side also helps them avoid spending too much money on these games.
The fate of Pisces is too emotional by nature. The bigger and more volatile lottery games are best avoided.
Astrological sign: Pisces
After all, they don’t want to get irritable during a long losing streak. This crowd has an interest in playing cheaper scratches that offer more frequent wins.
Aries signals aggressive and extremely competitive people. They will settle for nothing less than the best chance of winning. The competitive side of Aries should also lead them to lotteries with the best return to player (RTP).
Zodiac sign: Aries
For example, Aries will appreciate the return he gets from the Idaho (80.02% RTP), Massachusetts (73.41%) and Arkansas (71.83%) lotteries. They can also play scratch cards online, which usually offer 90-95% cashback.
Taurus is one of the most conservative signs. This group should play lotteries that offer high RTP and low stakes.
Astrological sign: Taurus
Of course, this combination is not always easy to find. However, the aforementioned online scratch cards will suffice for a Taurus.
Geminis love to have fun and are very sociable. They might enjoy visiting the local convenience store with a few friends and playing lottery games together.
Zodiac sign: Gemini
This crowd should also enjoy participating in the biggest lotteries and throwing a drawing party. They can celebrate big wins with friends or make fun of a draw.
This sign alludes to a homebody who enjoys quiet evenings. A Cancer won’t like going to the convenience store to buy tickets every time.
Astrological sign: Cancer
Instead, they will enjoy relaxing at home and playing scratch cards online. This route helps a Cancer avoid crowds while enjoying a chance to win.
A Leo is always ready to embrace new foods, activities, and forms of gambling. This sign should be on the lookout for the latest and greatest in lottery products.
Zodiac sign: Leo
For example, the local convenience store might offer a brand new scratch off offer. This new game will satisfy a Leo’s craving for new games.
Virgos are quite practical and take their time in making decisions. Therefore, they shouldn’t rush out and buy a bunch of random tickets.
Astrological sign: Virgo
Instead, they should take their time and properly research different types of lotteries. A Virgo may ultimately feel more comfortable playing a mix of games that offer a solid chance of winning.
This sign represents those who are creative and intellectual. A Libra isn’t going to join the crowd just because the Mega Millions jackpot reaches epic proportions.
Zodiac sign: Libra
Instead, they’ll be looking for well-designed lottery games that look entertaining. Scratch creators, who often include detailed artwork on their games, love Libra.
A Scorpio is best known for making solid predictions. They are not afraid to play due to their high confidence in their decisions.
Astrological sign: Scorpio
Of course, the choice of numbers is a completely random affair. But Scorpios will feel more comfortable picking winners than most people.
Sagittarians love to travel and enjoy new experiences. This guy will have fun crossing borders to try lotteries from everywhere.
Zodiac sign: Sagittarius
For example, a Sagittarius who lives in North Texas might also travel to New Mexico, Oklahoma, and/or Arkansas to play lotteries in those states. They may take another trip to a place like Colorado for the purpose of sightseeing and buying lottery tickets.
This sign straddles the line between being practical and aggressive. A Capricorn wants to win, but they’re also willing to be patient and wait for the best opportunities.
Astrological sign: Capricorn
They will feel at home waiting for a lottery jackpot to grow before playing the associated game. This way they can play for a bigger jackpot and also enjoy a higher theoretical RTP.
Conclusion
Gambling experts will never place any faith in astrological signs. They believe in a logical strategy based entirely on mathematics.
As Lott’s research shows, however, the signs of…
