subject: Manipulating The Odds - How To Win The Lottery [print this page] Most lottery players will buy at least one ticket a week or if there are two draws every week then they will a buy for each draw. It is mostly done for enjoyment and the slight possibility that you could end up a millionaire. If you are reading this then it is likely that you are still awaiting that big win or perhaps even a few smaller ones.
In an ordinary standard 6 from 49 lottery draw the chances of winning the jackpot are astronomical. However, there are ways to increase your odds of winning smaller prizes on a consistent basis. Not only are smaller wins possible but that elusive jackpot win can also be brought into the realms of possibility through the use of clever mathematical systems and a little common sense.
There are several things you can do to greatly increase your chances of winning prizes in the lottery. With the correct approach you can win consistently small prizes and make playing the lottery more of an investment than a gamble.
The first thing you need to do is purchase more lotto tickets. Now this may sound like it will cost you more money but it does not have to. You can get more tickets without having to pay an extra penny for them.
I will explain more about this later. However, just having more tickets isn't enough to secure a win.
The extra tickets you get must be bought using a mathematical principle that increases your chances of winning.
By joining a syndicate you can greatly increase your odds of winning without increasing your costs! Lottery syndicates, if you do not already know, are just a group of people (usually work colleagues) who use their combined lottery money to buy all their tickets together and when they win they share the prizes.
The sad news is that most syndicates do not play the lottery the right way. They do not leverage the number of members of their syndicate and the stake money those members bring.
To illustrate this point let us examine how a syndicate in a 6 from 49 draw (like the UK lottery) can massively increase their chances of winning by leveraging their money.
If a syndicate wants to take advantage of their numbers (and thus greater amount of money) they need to use a wheeling system when choosing their tickets. Having just 28 people in your syndicate will allow you to wheel 8 numbers instead of just picking random 6 number tickets. Wheeling numbers in this makes sure that if you 6 of your 8 numbers are winners they will appear together on at least one ticket. You will also have some other tickets with winning numbers on them winning you multiple prizes.
What's more when have winning numbers in your selection they usually end up together on more than one ticket due to the way the wheeling system is designed thus winning you multiple smaller prizes.
