Simple Tips That Can Help You Win The Mega Millions

Everyone who plays Mega Millions wants the best chances at winning the jackpot. Below are some tips and tricks you can use when playing the Mega Millions. And choosing your Mega Millions lucky numbers.

Keep playing your own lucky numbers. If your lucky numbers haven’t come up in awhile don’t get discouraged. Statistically, numbers that haven’t been drawn in 5 or more draws are 55% more likely to appear in later draws. And numbers that haven’t been drawn in 10 or more draws are 75% more likely to come up.

Do not use calendar dates. A common strategy lotto players use is taking significant numbers. Like birthdays, anniversaries or holidays as their lucky numbers. You shouldn’t use this strategy because birthday dates are only from 1-31. The Mega Millions number pool is from 1-70. You are effectively lowering your odds at winning.

Play bigger lucky numbers. Because using numbers 31 and lower are such a common playing strategy for many lotto players. You are likely to split prizes with more players if you keep playing lucky numbers under 31. Playing bigger numbers means you are more likely to split the prizes with less people.

Play more tickets in single draws. You get much better odds playing as many tickets as you can in a single draw. Rather than spreading those tickets over multiple draws. Always play as many tickets as possible in single draws.

Play in a lottery syndicate. Lottery syndicates allow you to pool resources with other players to buy more tickets. This is a guaranteed way to get more playing power. Without having to pay for additional tickets yourself.

Pick your numbers from a broad spread. Statistically speaking; jackpot winning draws tend to have a spread of high and low lucky numbers. So when picking your Mega Millions numbers make sure you have a spread of high and low numbers. Also odd and even numbers, ect.
