There all a bunch of made up numbers, so hundreds of people spend 44 quid, meaning a bigger prize fund for his winning numbers, which are completly different. IMO of course 
that itwillbeyou.info one is blatently bullshit.
but the others - for example the one where I got the sound file from, are all spin offs from the official channel4 derren brown corp.

MIND reader Derren Brown is to perform his most audacious stunt yet - predicting the lottery results.
The Channel 4 star plans to forecast the Wednesday night draw as it is screened live on BBC1.
And the bearded illusionist will rattle lotto chiefs by telling viewers HOW to do it. Sadly, Derren will be filmed at a secret location as he predicts the balls tumbling out of the National Lottery machine - when it's too late for us to buy a ticket.
Derren, 38, is so confident of success he has convinced C4 chiefs to screen the stunt live across all its channels including FilmFour and More4.
They have also given him another show on Friday night where he will give hints on how its done. A show insider said: "Derren is extremely confident he has worked out how to predict those magic balls.
"Of course the thing with this is not just the excitement of him doing it - but the fact he'll tell people how to do it.
So if the bit 'Derren will be filmed at a secret location as he predicts the balls tumbling out of the National Lottery machine - when it's too late for us to buy a ticket' is correct then those websites are utter bullshit and have nothing to do with Derren himself....
But IMO there is no way you can predict what balls are going to come out, even by studying previous balls since the lotto started, you will get patterns emerge and find out what balls are more common but there is no way you can say what is going to fall down on the day UNLESS ITS RIGGED. i.e showmanship, trickery, misdirection which is what he specialises in.....

If he has worked out some way of doing it and is going to tell us then its pretty pointless as everyone that buys a ticket will know how to predict the numbers so at best you'd end up with your £1 back for your troubles

They are the same numbers, bar one.

Studying previous draws wont give you ANY info at all. Even if you worked patterns out, regularity, etc. the fact is the balls have no memory, so the chances of the same one coming out every week for 12yrs is the same as it only coming out every few weeks, never, or at random intervals.
The lottery is impossible to predict, thats why he is doing it as a show, and thats why its pointless trying to second guess how he is going to do it as it'll be something we have no idea about imo.

OK OK OK...
here's my theory...
Quote me when it turns out true...
The Video (advert) will have things in it, that can be portrayed to have 'meant' a certain number...
So once the lottery numbers are drawn, he will show you the video and point out where he predicted it.
For example, 47 on the pole easy, but 13 cars that go past, or a 0 being visible on the pole meaning it could be 10,20,30,40
etc...
Basically, if you had a video that had 49 different 'numbers' represented in the video some how, then after the draw you could point back at that video and point out 6 of the things that represent the 6 winning numbers and say 'SEE!'

But he is doing a ten minute show just before the lottery is on tomorrow where he tells us the numbers.
So its not just a case of him being able to point out 6 of 49 stages things in his advert. Plus that is too simple imo!

the guy is brilliant at what he does, but people need to get the idea he's going to predict the actual numbers out of their heads, its impossible..
he simply puts on a show and has that unique ability to play with your mind, will be top viewing though
the show he did where he managed to train people without them realising to steal that money was awesome

He isnt some newbie to the game, if he did that and then didnt follow through it would end the career he currently has and is respected by millions.

Might be ready for packing it all in. At the end of the day, it's not possible to predict the lottery so that's got to be a red herring of some fashion.

Of course its not possible, but it wont be something silly like we are all thinking, it will be something fairly amazing.

I'd love it if it was something shit like the new series of Bo selecta and Derren Brown was actually the little bear.
