Simple Steps to Lottery Success

There are some very simple things you can do to increase your chances 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. You have virtually 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. However, do you realise that by playing all 49 numbers across a number of tickets you are guaranteed to get at least one number correct?

Picking at least 1 correct number may not sound like it is increasing your odds to many people. Why would you want to guarantee that you have at least one number correct on the lottery? The simple truth is that just guaranteeing that one number is correct reduces your odds from 14 million to 1 to 1 in 1,712,304.

What's more, in a 6 from 49 lottery all you need is 9 tickets to make sure you have those odds and ensure you have at least one number correct! In the New York Lottery, and those like it that use a 59 number draw, all it takes is ten tickets.

This means for a £9 stake in the UK or a $10 stake in New York you increase your odds of winning a jackpot prize to 1 in 1,712,304.

Statistics show that in a 6 from 49 lottery draw a third of all winning lottery number combinations have 3 odd numbers and 3 even numbers. Half the lottery numbers that are drawn have no consecutive numbers in them.

43% of the time there is never a number in a lottery draw that was in the winning line the previous week - so stay away from the previous weeks winning numbers.

By mixing and matching all the above simple steps when choosing your numbers you can greatly increase the chances of picking winning numbers.
