How to Win in National Lottery Games

By: Jessie Stone

If you play National Lottery games on a regular basis, then you know how hard it is to win even the minor prizes, no matter how many tickets you buy. Just take a look at the odds of winning some of the most popular lotteries:
Lotto. The chances of successfully picking three out of the six drawn numbers (which will win you £10) in the winning combination are 1 in 56. If you are hoping to win the jackpot by matching all six numbers, your chances are 1 in 14 million.
Thunderball, which requires you to pick five numbers from 1 to 39 and one Thunderball number from 1 to 14, gives you odds of 1 in 14 for matching the Thunderball, which will win you £3 and 1 in eight million for winning the jackpot.
The Daily Play game gives you odds of 1 in 888,000 of hitting the jackpot since you only pick six numbers from 1 to 27.
EuroMillions. To win the jackpot in this game, you need to match five numbers from 1 to 50 and two lucky star numbers from 1 to 9. Your chances of doing this? One in 79 million. On the other hand, the EuroMillions also gives you another opportunity to win with the weekly Millionaire Raffle Dame that gives a lucky ticket holder the chance to win £1 million weekly by matching the special randomly-generated raffle numbers that come with your EuroMillions tickets.
While there is no way to guarantee that you will win National Lottery games, there are a few ways that you can increase your chances. One way is by playing using tickets that have randomly-generated numbers. The reason for this is that most people pick their betting combinations using birthdays and anniversaries, which knocks out a lot of numbers that might be picked during the draws, since there are only 31 days in a month. Another way is, of course, by playing as often as possible and buying as many tickets as you can afford . If you have a set of numbers that you feel lucky with, however, stick with them and avoid changing them. Finally, play in lotto games that have fewer numbers to choose from, even if the prizes are smaller.
But the best way to make sure that you have a greater chance of winning prizes in National Lottery lotto games is to join a syndicate. A syndicate is composed of a group of people who have organized themselves to play the lottery and contribute a certain amount every week to the betting pot, as well as sharing their winnings according to their contributions. The syndicate typically bets five numbers plus every possible combination of the remaining numbers. This means that you are already assured of matching at least one or two numbers, making it easier to win any of the minor prizes as well as the jackpot. In addition, there are other advantages to playing with a syndicate such as never missing a game, enjoying the convenience of not having to buy tickets regularly and not risking accidentally foregoing a prize if you miss checking the winning combinations.
