No one can predict who will win the next lottery game, but there are many ways to improve your odds. Here are 7 tips proven to accelerate your winning chances:
1. Concentrate and play one game only. Spreading your money around several different games each time means that your chances of winning are drastically reduced. To improve your odds, put all your investment into a single game and stick with it.
2. Play more often. If you find you're winning less, it's human nature to conserve your money. You'll be tempted to play less in order to conserve your funds and that means your chances are reduced as well. Spend less on each game, but increase the number of games you play.
3. Play games that have higher payouts. Powerball and Mega Millions are good examples of high jackpot games. However, unless you're using a good system, the odds are stacked against you - as much as 1 in 195,249,054 for Powerball as an example.
4. Play on an "off" day. Here's how it works. If your game plays several days a week, choose the day which is less popular. You can find this out by asking your local lotto store which is the least busy day. That means any wins you make it are shared with fewer winning players.
5. Stay away from the common methods of number selection. Many players will use birthdates, numbers chosen in a straight or diagonal line across the ticket, and numbers picked by a popular daily horoscope. All these methods mean that the large number of commonly used numbers will affect your share of any winning prize.
6. Play frequently to a plan. Most players don't have a plan and only play when they have enough money or are close to a lottery shop. Consistency is the secret to many people winning prizes. They play regularly, and don't miss a week.
7. Buy more tickets. Instead of buying five tickets each time, buy 50 in the next game. It's simple mathematics and a recognized fact... the more tickets you buy, the higher your winning chances become.
