UK Lottery Tips

The UK have a bi-weekly lotto draw known as The National Lottery. It is drawn midweek and has a more popular draw at the weekend. It is a 6 from 49 draw and therefore the advice in this article applies to all 6 from 49 lottery draws.

When you play a 6/49 lottery you should be aware that buying a ticket in the standard way gives you almost no chance of winning. The odds of landing the top lottery prize are so huge that you have a better chance of dying!

To win the top jackpot prize in a 6/49 lotto draw you need to be very lucky indeed because you only have a 14,000,000 to 1 chance of picking the right numbers!

Although there was some opposition to the gambling nature of the National Lottery in the UK back in 19994, when it was first played, it has enjoyed sustained popularity ever since.Since then there is a stream of data that shows quite clearly how many times certain numbers are drawn and how many times certain combinations of numbers are drawn together.

Just by choosing numbers that are drawn more often can greatly increase your odds of winning a big prize. You should also stay away from number combinations that are never drawn.

For example people still pick the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 even though they have never been drawn in any lottery anywhere in the world ever! Avoid picking all number that are odd or all numbers that are even. Although these combinations do get drawn it is only rarely and the chances of you having all the odd or even numbers right is minuscule. Also avoid picking numbers that show clear patterns that common sense will tell you are unlikely to occur such as numbers that jump in sequence.

Therefore to immediately increase your odds of winning you should study the lottery patterns that are usually found of the lottery's website to pick the numbers that are drawn more often. This is only the beginning however as there are other steps that can increase your odds even more.

Do not clump all your numbers together. After you have gained a list of numbers that are drawn in your lottery more often than the others you should refine your choices further. Make sure you pick numbers that are not all grouped together Be sure you pick numbers from across the board. Having all numbers below 10 or all numbers above 40 is not the way to go. Be sure to spread your number choices out from the hot list that you have.

It is often advertised by the National Lottery that syndications win more often. Although this is true it is not for the reasons mist people think.

Buying more tickets does not increase your chances of winning the lottery contrary to popular opinion. The odds are so heavily stacked against you that buying a handful more tickets makes only an infinitely tiny fraction of a difference - not enough to count.

However, when a syndicate uses a wheeling system to pick numbers and play they can reduce their odds from 1 in 13,983,816 to just 1 in 499,422 - with only two extra numbers and a weekly cost of £28. If you play in syndication wheel your numbers!
