Do More Tickets Equal More Chances to Win on the Lottery?

When you play the National Lottery and a few USA State Lotteries you are often told that syndicates win the jackpot s more often. Why is this?

Win it comes to syndicates winning more often that single lottery players it seems logical to assume it is because they buy more tickets. However, buying more tickets may seem like the reason for a syndicates success but it is really not the reason.

Many people also belief that if a set of numbers come up you should not pick them in following draws because they are less likely to be drawn.

For a start it makes no difference how many times a ball has been drawn or how little it has been drawn. It has the same chance of being drawn in every single game regardless of its past appearances or lack of them. You see in any lottery draw anywhere in the world it makes no difference what balls were drawn the week before or the month before or the year before. Every draw sees a new chance for any ball to be drawn.

Every time there is a lottery draw that draw is essentially a one-off event. It may seem logical to assume that if a number combination has been drawn in the lottery that this combination will not happen again for a very long time (if ever), but this is simply not the case.

There is no way that any lottery draw or set of lottery balls can remember previous lottery draws - let me explain. They retain no memory of previous lottery games. Every draw in a lottery is a separate draw. It is not connected to any other draw.

Buying a ticket in the National Lottery in the UK gives you odds of only 1 in 13,983,816 of winning the jackpot. That's approximately 1 in 14 million - not very good odds. That gives you approximately a 1 in 14 million chance of winning the lottery. How bad is that? Buying more tickets does not increase this number because each ticket is individual and unconnected to the other (when tickets are bought without using a mathematically based lottery system) and you therefore still have approximately a 1 in 14,000,000 chance of winning.

However, once you realise that each combination and each number has exactly the same chance of being drawn every week you can start to become a much wiser lottery player.

Now instead of using lame lottery systems that are designed around commonly drawn numbers or analysing past draws you must look for lottery systems that deal with real mathematics.

Studying patterns of past draws is unlikely to increase your odds in the lottery. Using scientific probability equations is much more likely to bring you a lottery win!

Through the use of mathematical systems you can dramatically improve your odds in the lottery and almost ensure you win consistently - even if those wins are not the jackpot but smaller prizes that stack up. With a bit of luck and good mathematical system you could even grab the jackpot prize.
