Is there a magic winning formula?

Have you ever wondered the secrets to winning big in the lottery? Is it pure luck or is there a system to it…?

1. Avoid computer picks. It lowers your odds of winning.
2. On scratchcards, try buying 10 of one ticket instead of several different tickets.
3. Mix up your numbers.
4. Even it out – Don’t pick all odd or all even numbers.
5. Split from the crowd, so don’t play patterns.
6. Apparently, you should avoid anniversaries, birthday’s and dates.
7. Avoid playing winning numbers that have been drawn before, because every combination has a chance of coming up once every half a million drawings.

Three ways to improve your chances for EuroMillions

1. Don’t favour special dates

It’s pretty common to opt for birthdays and anniversaries when choosing Lotto numbers.

If you’re relying on special dates, you’re never going to pick a number higher than 31 so you’re ruling out 19 possibilities.

Don’t be afraid to explore your options between 32 and 50.

2. Bunch your choices

To stand a better chance of scoring a win, go for numbers closer together.

For example, instead of choosing 3, 7, 14, 19, and 26, you could give 9, 10, 12, 13, and 14 a go.

3. Keep things balanced

As well as keeping your digits closer together, experts suggest keeping them well-balanced.

They recommend adding them up once you’ve made your choices to ensure the total is between 90 and 160.

This is because numbers between these two account for almost three quarters of the five-number successful EuroMillions sets.
