What Do You Do to Increase Your Odds of Winning the Lotto?

The idea of winning the lotto jackpot has become almost a universal dream the world over. Most players buy 5 or 10 Quick Picks after work or while they're at the store. This represents the majority of lotto ticket sales. But, these players haven't done anything to improve their chances of winning the lotto jackpot.

These people are playing what is called Full Odds. For example, in Lotto Texas, the chances of winning the lotto jackpot are 1 in 25,827,165. This is an example of Full Odds. So, they'll have to be one very lucky Texan to win the lotto jackpot. How lucky?

Well, this statement is probably going to disturb some of you. I strongly believe that everyone who plays is going to win the lotto jackpot! Provided they live long enough. So, how long is enough? Well, for Lotto Texas, drawings are held twice a week. Provided the winning numbers never repeat, the last winner will be celebrating in about 250,000 years! Even if you were one of the real lucky players and your numbers came in 50 years from now, you wouldn't have much time left to enjoy your good fortune.

Players Dilemma

This is the players dilemma. How does the player win the lotto jackpot before he's dead or too old to enjoy it? This is the problem that serious lotto players are trying to solve every drawing. How do they reduce those 250,000 years of lotto drawings to something acceptable?

The only hope that any serious lottery player has is to use some quality lottery software and their brains. The lottery software helps develop and manage their lottery strategies to improve their chances of winning. So, if you are serious about winning the lotto in your lifetime, it would be wise to purchase some good (great) lottery software. Unfortunately, there are maybe only 3 or 4 decent lottery software packages on the market and the rest are a waste of time and money. So, caveat emptor my friend.

So, just for grins, 'How much do you think you can improve your chances by using lottery software? The answer is quite a bit, actually. Most of you will be amazed at the dramatic effect even some rather simple lotto strategies can have.

Here's an example. Let's take a look at the Lotto Texas, TX654 lottery. As I stated earlier, the chances of winning this lottery are one of the highest in the US; 1 in 25,827,165! But, you don't have to settle for that. Here is one very simple thing that you can do that dramatically effects your chances of winning the lottery.

Increase Your Odds

Don't play!!! That's right; don't play the state's game. Instead, play a different game and call it Lotto Texas 6/53. Simply remove one of the 54 numbers from play. Pick one of the 54 numbers that you believe will not be one of the winning numbers. The remaining 53 numbers become your reduced play list.

At first, this may not sound like a big deal but the effect is dramatic. This simple act improves your chances of winning the lottery to 1 in 22,957,480. So, 2,869,685 wagers were removed from play! That's nearly 3 MILLION wagers!!! This has the effect of concentrating your dollars. Now, each dollar you spend has an effective value of $1.12.

So, are you going to win the lottery? Not necessarily. But, using lottery strategies like these means that your chances of winning the lotto jackpot are better than everyone else playing Lotto Texas. Here is an interesting point. If everyone playing Lotto Texas used this strategy in the next drawing, the state lottery officials would be scratching their heads the following day and wondering why their payout suddenly jumped 10% above normal.

Whoops

Right now many of you are asking this question, "What happens if you pick one of the 6 winning lotto numbers by accident?" Great question! All I can say is, "Whoops." Yes, it happens, but, how often? Remember, in each Lotto Texas drawing, only 6 winning lotto numbers are chosen, leaving 48 lotto numbers that are not chosen! Your chances of picking one of those 48 non-winning numbers are excellent. In fact, doing this 95% of the time should be easy.

In summary, over time, this lotto strategy will work in 19 out of 20 drawings. As a result, you can improve your chances of winning the lotto jackpot in 19 drawings and miss only one. Not a bad deal.
