What's the one lottery strategy that you must use if you intend to improve your chances of winning the lotto? The Internet is awash with vendors saying 'You Must Do This' and 'You Must Do That'.
Sometimes it appears there are more lottery strategies than players.
You've probably seen the ads that say, 'Use this strategy and win the lotto on Saturday' or 'You are guaranteed to win the lotto if you use our famous lotto system'.
Hogwash.
This is unfortunate.
It is the deafening din of such outrageous claims that obscures any valid discussion from ever seeing the light of day.
The tarnish from such babble will also stain any valid strategy.
But, we soldier on.
Lotto Strategies and Guarantees First of all, let's get this straight.
There is no system, plan, method, technique or strategy that can guarantee you will win the lotto.
None.
If you're shown one, put your hand on your wallet and walk away; better yet, run away.
If someone said, 'Read my book and you will win the World Series of Poker', would you believe that? I hope your answer is, 'Of course not'.
Second, you can improve your chances of winning the lotto.
That's a fact.
There are valid ways to do that.
Just like improving your poker play by reading Doyle Brunson's book, Super Systems, you can very logically improve your chances of winning the lotto.
Notice, I didn't say Win the Lotto, I said Improve Your Chances of Winning the Lotto.
And why not? Can you think of any reason why you should just play the lotto the same way as everyone else in your state? Is there some reason why you shouldn't use your brain while playing the lotto? This doesn't mean you're going to win the jackpot but, it is definitely more fun playing the lotto when you know you have an advantage.
Lotto Strategy Fundamentals There are many strategies you can use to improve your chances but, there is one that you must use first.
It is called a Reduced Play List.
I'll use Mega Millions as an example.
Five numbers are drawn from a pool of 56 numbers.
The odds for everyone playing Mega Millions are 1 in 3,819,816 that you will have all 5 numbers correct.
Now, you can play this game or you can play smart and play a better game called Mega Millions 5/55.
This is simple to do; just remove one number from play.
By doing so, your odds are now 1 in 3,478,761 of having all 5 correct.
Your odds are now better than anyone else playing Mega Millions.
This simple act has removed an amazing 341,055 wagers from play! That's a 9% improvement.
This also improves your chances of winning lesser prizes.
It's simple.
It's easy.
Of course, once in a while, the number you remove would be one of the winning numbers.
But, this happens less than 2% of the time.
In other words, in the next year you would be wrong on only two occasions and right 98% of the time.
Attention: Improving your chances of winning the lotto must start with this strategy.
