Lotteries have become incredibly successful in recent years. Not surprising when you consider the attraction of possibly winning and winning big. That gives us a feel good factor, and even when we don’t win, it’s easy to accept that consequence because; in our heart of hearts we know that the odds make it extremely unlikely that our precise chosen numbers will come up.
We also feel good about the fact that the Lottery generally supports good and worthy causes. Some even look on Lottery tickets as a voluntary form of taxation.
We know that the chances of winning a jackpot with our chosen six numbers are remote, but we can also feel good about smaller wins, many of which can still be life changing sums, of many thousands of Dollars, Pounds or Euros.
There are ways of improving our chances of a win. We know instinctively that six consecutive numbers are most unlikely to come up all together in one draw. Similarly it is true that for all numbers to be odd or all numbers to be even is unlikely. It follows that the best chance we have is if our chosen numbers have a balance amongst them.
Here are the seven tips that you can use to improve your chances of a win in Lotto games:-
1. Do it for the fun of it and don’t take it too seriously.
2. Be a Player and not a Gambler. Gamblers take risks and generally lose more than they can afford to lose – This applies to all forms of pure gambling, like horse racing, for example.
3. Approach the game logically. By all means play favourite numbers or birth dates or any other numbers special to you, but recognise that many others play the same way. For example, many people play birth dates of family members, but that limits them to numbers one to thirty-one only.
4. It is better to play less often, if you cannot afford to always play, rather than spreading your stake money too thinly.
5. Play all available numbers, if possible. In other words it is better to play once every nine weeks and then buy nine tickets, rather than buying one ticket every week. To still get some fun out of every draw, consider playing just one ticket every week and then play multiple tickets at regular intervals, if you can afford to do so.
6. Play balanced tickets rather than “weighted” tickets. In other words avoid all numbers odd or all numbers even. Such draws occur only rarely.
7. Choose your numbers rather than relying on “Lucky Dips” or “Auto Picks”.
