Lottery numbers strategy

[Mr Allen]

Just over 2 months ago, I won £25 on 3 numbers, I needed the money as well as I'd got £30 to pay to renew my Martial Arts license.

If you're going to play, pick higher (than 31) random numbers. Numbers 1-31 and 1-12 are likely more commonly used to represent dates, birthdays etc.

I got 100£ on lucky dip Thunderball, this Saturday. But I am more for 5 £ accumulator betting with both to score once or two times a month. It's definitely more likely than the lottery.

I play the Euro millions hotpicks game with 2 numbers lucky dipped every time for £1-50 and have won £100 twice in the last 6 weeks.

im having a go on the Euromillions tonight as it’s a £68 million jackpot...

I have mixed feelings about roll-overs and very large jackpots,

 

I am guessing (and that is all it is) that there will be less chance of a hit as the large prize will attract many more players?  Are the odds of winning reduced if there are more players, or are the odds not affected? Someone on here will know.

 

I can see the excitement element and initial appeal of 50 plus million, but I would be well pleased with just one.  Winning such large amounts would mean that you could be very charitable to less fortunate people and change lives for the better.

Depends how you define winning.

 

If you mean, for example, getting all 6 numbers, and winning the mega jackpot; your chances of doing that are the same, if you are the only person playing, as if you are one of a billion people playing. The only consideration would be the likelyhood of other people also winning; and so the jackpot will likely be less (presumably, it's divided by the number of winners).

The odds of you winning aren't affected if more people play but the number of jackpot winners may be greater but then again if more people play then the amount paid out should increase as well..

Good advice if you must play. 

The National Lottery should be renamed the National Voluntary Tax Scheme.
