Here are some simple steps you can take to increase your odds 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 6 from 49 lotto are just 1 in 13,983,816. There is almost no chance of winning. If you want to win a jackpot prize in a 6 from 49 draw with a normal lottery ticket you are dreaming. 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.
This may not sound like anything special. Guaranteeing that just one number is a winner on a lottery ticket doesn't seem to be a very good way of winning the lottery, does it? What is the point of ensuring you have at least 1 correct number? 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.
In order to achieve this all you need to do is buy 9 tickets in the UK. In the New York Lottery, and those like it that use a 59 number draw, all it takes is ten tickets.
That is just a nine pound stake in the UK and a ten dollar stake in New York!
Picking three odd and three even numbers gives you a 1 in three chance of being correct. 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.
