Have you ever thought about gambling with the house’s money to win the lottery? It’s kind of like a strategy that some people successfully use in blackjack at the casino. Basically, what they do is bet a constant bet on each hand and when they win they double their bet on the next hand; in that next hand, they are, essentially, playing their regular bet, plus what the house gave them on their last hand. So, they are betting with the house’s money.

How could you take that blackjack strategy to win the lottery? Let me explain in an example. I’ll use the Lotto 6/49 lottery in Canada as my example, which costs $2 to play. The odds of winning Lotto 6/49 when you buy just one ticket is approximately 1-in-14-million.

Let’s say you buy one Lotto 6/49 ticket every Saturday. That means you gamble $2 per week. So, you are prepared to lose $2 every week. Your odds of winning the jackpot on any particular week would be 1-in-14-million. But, there are smaller prizes to be won. Let’s say you match 3-out-of-6 numbers to win $10. If you use the strategy of gambling with the house’s money to win the lottery, you would take that $10, plus the $2 your normal bet to buy $12 worth of tickets the following Saturday. That means you would buy six tickets ($12 divided by $2 per ticket). Do you know what happens to your odds when you buy six tickets instead of one? The odds get better. The odds of winning Lotto 6/49 with six tickets would be approximately 1-in-2.3-million. Much better than 1-in-14-million, right?

Of course, if you match 4-out-of-6 numbers, you’d win more, maybe around $70. If you took that $70 that the house paid you, plus your usual $2, you could buy 36 Lotto 6/49 tickets. Your odds of winning the jackpot would then be bettered to approximately 1-in-389,000.

If you match 5-out-of-6 numbers you’d win around $1500. Take that, plus your usual $2 and you could buy 751 Lotto 6/49 tickets. Your odds of winning the jackpot would then be approximately 1-in-19,000.

So, potentially, playing with the house’s money could get you much better odds of winning the lottery, no matter which lottery you like to play.

EuroMillions is a lottery played across Europe by participating countries, including The United Kingdom, Spain, Belgium, France, Austria, Ireland, Portugal, Switzerland, and Luxembourg. The lottery jackpots can grow to huge amounts, with the biggest, so far, being a 110 Million Euro jackpot won by one ticket holder in Spain. That’s $153,462,753 USD! It’s no wonder people want to win it. Read on for free tips and advice on how to win the EuroMillions lottery.

The main obstacle to winning EuroMillions is the odds. To win the jackpot, you need to match 5 numbers plus 2 lucky star numbers. The odds of hitting all of them are a staggering 1-in-76-million. You probably think you have no chance after hearing those odds now, do you? But there are ways of lowering the odds. For example, let’s say you buy 10 tickets for a particular draw. That would lower the odds of winning to 1-in-7.6-million. That’s quite a difference, isn’t it?

But of course, everybody knows that buying more tickets will increase your odds of winning the EuroMillions lottery. It’s just that buying more tickets is expensive. So my best free advice would be to join or create a lottery pool. Let’s say that there are 10 people in your lottery pool and each member buys 10 tickets. That would be 100 tickets for a particular draw. Do you know what your odds would be if you were to do this? The odds would drop to 1-in-760,000. That’s a lot more manageable than 1-in-176-million and that would make you a lot more likely to win a EuroMillions jackpot. Even splitting it 10 ways wouldn’t be so bad because of the huge amounts of the jackpots.

There are many, so-called, lottery pundits out there that might try to give you there own free tips and advice on winning the EuroMillions lottery jackpot like choosing all odd numbers or other silly tactics. But most of those don’t work. The best way to win is to buy more tickets and the best way to do that is to buy the tickets through a lottery pool.

Playing any lottery can best be described as placing hope over experience. The chances of anyone person winning a significant amount on a lottery is minuscule. For example the odds of winning the Jackpot on the UK National Lottery have been calculated at over 14 million to one.

Never the less all around the world millions invest some of their hard earned money on lottery tickets. In Europe most major countries have their own lotteries. Nine countries, The UK, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Luxemburg and Switzerland also combine to run the Euro Millions Lottery.

Spain also runs the El Gordo (The fat one) lottery in December which offers the largest prize fund of any lottery. In the USA most states have a lottery and Australia and Japan also have popular lottery draws.

No doubt at some time or other most players have wondered if there is some “secret” way of winning the huge jackpots that are on offer. There is no shortage of people who would like you to believe that they had the answer. If you type “how to win the lottery” into Google you will see that there is nearly 13 ½ million matches for that phrase. Personally if I knew how to win the lottery jackpot I certainly would not be wasting my time trying to sell the “secret” for a few bucks on the Internet.

There are people who seem to devote nearly all of their spare time trying to crack”the secret”. They keep meticulous records of past draws and past statistics. It is also reported that there are huge syndicates based mainly in the Far East who buy many thousands of draw tickets when the jackpot becomes many millions of pounds or dollars.

If you accept that there is no secret” or easy way to win the jackpot is there any other option to help you improve your chances. The obvious way is to either buy more tickets (expensive) or to join a syndicate to improve your chances of winning. The leading syndicate for the UK National Lottery, Euro Millions and the El Gordo is Virtual World Direct(VWD). The company have been in business since 2002 and have an impressive record and are members of the Lottery Council of Great Britain.

Since joining VWD soon after its launch I have won on the lottery over 200 hundred times. Admittedly mainly small wins and no Jackpot but there is always the next draw.

Running a lottery is the perfect business. That’s because when you have enough people playing, the lottery corporation knows almost exactly how much money the lottery will generate and how much it will have to pay out. It’s all a statistics game and there’s no way for the lottery corporation to lose money. That’s why lottery corporations bring in billions in profits.

However, it is not so simple for lottery players. By spending just a few dollars a week playing the lottery, lottery players can statistically figure out how much they will pay out and win/lose, based on lottery odds, over their lifetimes. But, on a week-to-week basis, there’s no way to do so. That’s because playing a few tickets a week is not a statistically significant amount to calculate probability accurately.

Lottery players can, however, play within their budgets to slightly increase their odds of a higher payout for themselves. Here’s how: If a lottery player plays a lottery with a rolling jackpot, like Powerball for example, they could shift their dollars spent on a week-to-week basis. It’s easier to explain with an example. So for example, say a player spends $5 per draw on the lottery. In this case, she plays Powerball, which draws twice a week. Let’s say that works out to 9 draws a month. That would equal $45 monthly budget for lotteries. Now, let’s say that instead of playing $5 on every draw, she spends just $1 on every draw. That would be 9 draws at a dollar and, so, she would have $36 left over. Since the Powerball lottery has a rollover jackpot, she could now use the extra $36 to spend on one big jackpot each month. That would greatly increase her odds of winning the jackpot on that one big draw.

The player in the example used her budget to shift money spent on lotteries when the jackpot is small to more money spent when the jackpot is big. In the example, she still had the same monthly budget, but slightly increased her lifetime expected payout from playing the lottery because she spent more when the jackpot was big and less when the jackpot was small.

My pick for the game to play is the scratch off game. You see as a convenience store owner I see which game brings in more winners. There are more actual winners from the scratch off games than any other lottery game combined. Now a lot of people won’t or don’t want to play the scratch off games because they only win a small amount. What they don’t realize is that over a period of time, all of the little amounts add up while they don’t win anything on the other games.

Since you want to be a winner, let me give you a couple of other reasons why you want to play the scratch off game. If you want to make sure that you win the lottery, then you want to play the scratch off game, because it not only has the most actual winners, but it also has the best odds of winning. The odds are best for winning compared to all the lottery games available to you to play.

If you are using your hard earned money to play a lottery game, it just makes the best sense to play the game that is going to give you the best return on your money? You know which game has the best odds. Now determine which ticket in that game offers the best odds.

Not all scratch off tickets have the same odds of winning. Some scratch off tickets will have better odds than other scratch off tickets. There have been two-dollar games that had better odds of winning than more expensive games like the three dollar and five dollar games.

It is interesting to see why people pick a particular ticket. A lot of people don’t pick the tickets with the best odds because they don’t like the color of the game or it isn’t as attractive as some new games. Some people pick a certain ticket because it has their favorite color but they find that they continue to lose their money over and over again.

Some games have attractive titles and pretty titles. So be sure that you don’t purchase a ticket based on the color or the title, but be sure to focus on the odds of the ticket. Select the best ticket to play based on the best odds. You see you want to remember that you are playing so that you can win the lottery.

When you go to play your next lottery ticket, make sure you play the game with the best odds and the ticket in that game with the best odds. Don’t buy the ticket based on the prettiest color, your favorite number or the hottest title. Play the game and buy the ticket with the best odds so that you can win the lottery.
