How to Increase Your Odds of Winning

Everyone looks for that little edge or advantage to come out ahead in whatever we do. That is especially true when it comes to playing the lottery. The odds are stacked against you towards ever winning the jackpot so it’s important to take advantage of any opportunity you can to tip the scales in your favor.

First, we suggest you play lotteries with better odds of winning not only the grand prize but the lower tier prizes as well. It’s better to walk away with a little something in your pocket than a big fat handful of nothing.

Try playing in a group or syndicate. These increase your odds of winning because you become part of a bigger pool of numbers for less of an investment than doing it yourself. The only downside, if it is one at all, is that you will share the winnings with everyone else in your syndicate. Something is better than nothing in our book. The majority of all of the jackpots won in lotteries around the world are won by syndicates. Those odds are not to be ignored if you want to win.

This option doesn’t increase your odds of winning overall but it does increase your chances of not sharing the jackpot with anyone else if you are lucky enough to match all of the numbers. We know you’ve heard this before but it still remains true today. Most people play birthdays as their lucky numbers thus limiting them to thirty-one numbers to choose from. Play the higher numbers above thirty-one to see if you can match those drawn for that day’s grand prize. If you do win, you are pretty guaranteed to be the sole owner of that jackpot. You see this advice goes unheeded by most players.
