How Many Tickets Do You Need To Secure The Lottery Jackpot?

Why is it the case that many lotteries around the world state that syndicated game players win more often?

There is a false belief that pervades through the lottery world that syndications win more often because there are more players to invest in more tickets. We will investigate how much truth there is in this belief and whether buying more lottery tickets can increase your chances of winning a prize.

There is also the belief that avoiding numbers that have already occurred in the draw can increase your chances of winning because those same numbers will not be drawn again.

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. The truth is every time the lottery draw takes place there is the same chance of a set of numbers coming up every week regardless of if they have been drawn before.

Every lottery draw is a completely new game that is not connected to any other. Most people believe that if a combination of numbers are drawn and form the winning line that the next week they are less likely to be drawn but this is far from the truth.

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

When you have a random ticket for a 6 from 49 lottery draw your chances of winning the lottery are 1 in approximately 14 million. 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.

So to start winning lottery prizes you should avoid systems that rely heavily on analysing past lottery draws and start to use proper mathematical systems to help you increase your odds of winning.

Studying patterns of past draws is unlikely to increase your odds in the lottery. What you must do is start using mathematical systems that work with the law of probability which is what the lottery is based on.

There are scientifically proven mathematical formulas that can be used to increase your odds of winning on the lotto ; even if those wins are not the jackpot but smaller prizes that stack up. To win the jackpot prize you will need to add a splice of luck to the equation but if you do get that lucky with a good lottery system believe me when I say you will not be the first and certainly not be the last! The more you use a good lotto system the luckier you tend to get.

Winning The Lotto With Statistics

Using statistics and calculating odds can be very interesting but sometimes useless.For example, did you know that the odds of an average golfer hitting a 'hole in one' in a given round are 12,000-to-1 and the odds of getting two in the same round are 67,000,000-to-1?

So imagine the surprise of spectators when Danny Leake, an amateur golfer, achieved an unbelievable 'hole in one' on the same hole two days in a row at a tournament in Texas (something that is so unusual the odds of it happening have never been calculated). Pity such a lucky guy didn't play the lottery that day instead!

The New York Times told of a man in New York City, who was earning a regular wage as a superintendent, poured most of his money into the lottery.In the hope, and false belief, that he could win a big prize simply by buying more random tickets Mr. Otero spent a whopping $30,000 a year on lottery tickets!

The truth is that, statistically, buying more tickets, that are chosen randomly and not using a mathematical system, does not increase your chances of winning a prize in the lottery at all!

Statistics can tell us some depressing things. For example, if someone purchases a UK lottery ticket on a Monday, for a weekend draw, they are more likely to be dead when the draw takes place than they are of winning the jackpot prize!

This unfortunate statistic is true because you have a 14,000,000 to 1 chance of winning a jackpot on a 6 from 49 draw and the odds of being struck by lightning are killed by lightning are roughly 2650000 to 1.No matter how many tickets you buy each one will have the same low odds. Buying more tickets does not give you a better chance of winning.

However, it is possible to increase your chances of winning the lottery when you use the mathematical statistics to your advantage. Wheeling lottery numbers is probably the best known and easiest to use lottery system that greatly increases your chances of winning.

When you wheel and extra number in your pick of 6, so that you pick 7 numbers instead and then "wheel" so that all numbers end up on a ticket together two things happen. You have to buy more tickets therefore your lottery stake money goes up. But, an interesting thing happens - your odds of winning go up in leaps and bounds.

In the UK lottery just wheeling an extra number (so you pick 7 numbers instead of the standard 6) you reduce your odds of winning from 14,0000,000 to 1 to only 500,000 to 1!

There are other lottery systems which offer even better odds but just think, if Ray Otero had played 6 from 49 draws and used a wheeling system, instead of buying random tickets, he could well have won the lottery a few times over!
