Improving Your Odds in the Lottery
There are some very simple things you can do to increase your chances of winning the lottery. 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. You have virtually no chance of winning. Playing a 49 ball lottery gives you almost no chance of winning the jackpot. There is a simple step that can dramatically improve your chances of winning the lottery is to play every number - all 49. This means you will have at least 1 number correct on one of your tickets.
Picking at least 1 correct number may not sound like it is increasing your odds to many people. Why would you want to guarantee that you have at least one number correct on the lottery? The simple truth is that just guaranteeing that one number is correct reduces your odds from 14 million to 1 to 1 in 1,712,304.
What's more, in a 6 from 49 lottery all you need is 9 tickets to make sure you have those odds and ensure you have at least one number correct! Even on a 59 ball lottery draw (like the New York Lottery) you only have to buy 10 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.
Picking three odd and three even numbers gives you a 1 in three chance of being correct. Half the lottery numbers that are drawn have no consecutive numbers in them.
You can be sure that a third of all winning lottery tickets have 3 high numbers and 3 low numbers and over 43% of 6 from 49 lottery winning tickets have numbers that were not on the previous weeks winning line.
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.
