How to Improve Your Lottery Odds
As a lottery player there are a few very easy things that you can do to help you pick winning numbers on the lotto. Although lotteries have notoriously bad odds and chances of winning for players there are certain things that you can do to greatly change all this.
The odds of winning a standard forty-nine ball lottery, such as the National Lottery in the UK, are approximately 14 million to 1. There is almost no chance of winning. Playing a 49 ball lottery gives you almost no chance of winning the jackpot. One simple step you can take to dramatically increase your chances of winning is to play all 49 numbers in the lottery. This way you guarantee to that you will a ticket with at least one correct number on it.
Having at least one number correct may not sound like much. Why would you want to guarantee that you have at least one number correct on the lottery? Guaranteeing that you have just 1 lottery number correct means that you only have to pick five numbers correctly. A simple fact that reduces the odds from one in almost fourteen million to 1 in 1.7 million.
To ensure you have at least one number correct when you play the lottery in the UK all you need is nine tickets. In the New York Lottery, and those like it that use a 59 number draw, all it takes is ten tickets.
This means for a £9 stake in the UK or a $10 stake in New York you increase your odds of winning a jackpot prize to 1 in 1,712,304.
Statistics show that in a 6 from 49 lottery draw a third of all winning lottery number combinations have 3 odd numbers and 3 even numbers. 50% of winning lottery lines also never have any consecutive numbers.
If you also want to take advantage of something that happens in 43% of the time in UK type lotteries never pick a number that was in the previous weeks draw!
By using any of the above steps or by combining some of them or all of them you will give yourself a real fighting chance of picking up some prizes in the lottery.
