If you’re reading
this book right now, you are obviously interested in winning the
lottery. Have you even tried the easy to win games with smaller
prizes? I have noticed many people that are starting to play those
type of games simply because they are easy to win. With the right
state of mind and attitude towards playing the lotto, it could be a
pretty good source of money … obviously. In order to make a living
here, you will need to play on a continuous basis. You can’t simply
play one game and expect to win big – as I told you before, you
really have to open your mind and get into the game.
I have witnessed
many players, including myself, transforming into millionaires,
overnight, all thanks to the lottery. I am proof that you can get
rich simply by playing the lotto – but you cannot go in with an
empty mind – you must have a strategy at hand, otherwise, your
chances of losing are pretty high.
Okay, so you want to
win the jackpot – I get that. Every reader wants to win the lotto
that is an obvious statement. We all want to win the jackpot. For
most, the only way to make a large amount of money overnight would
mean they have to play those games that have big jackpots. Instead of
going in and playing the same games over and over again, people
always try to find those games that have a big amount of cash
strapped to them in one round.
Follow the Right Gaming Strategies – Win Big
If you want to make
a big amount of money, take it from me, you will need to follow the
correct strategies. There are some people out there that claim to
have won big and publish books and products packed full of
strategies. When in all actuality, some of those people were never
really winners, they just want you to believe that so that you will
follow their false strategies that they just tossed together to make
some money. When you read an eBook talking about how someone won big,
go ahead, do research on that person and see if their name is really
out there – you can easily find me.
Anyhow, so many
people do not have a strategy. They just stick to the same
style and never stop
to think that a strategy would actually get them some place.
Choose Games That Have More Odds of Winning
You should always go
for those games that have more odds of winning. For example, I’m
going to branch out a bit here – say we’re talking about
Blackjack – the odds of winning the lottery is much easier than the
odds of winning Blackjack. Do
You Really Want to Win the Lottery?
Do you know how to
tell if your ticket has a good set of numbers or not? Are there
really strategies available to help you win? If you want to make that
big win, you have to put your soul, mind and body into it – turn it
into a job and really reach out for what you want.
The Difference Between Self Picks and Quick Picks
If it were fully up
to me, I would eliminate quick picks altogether. Did I already tell
you how much I despise those things? Anyhow, for those of you who are
not familiar with the two, we need to take a look at the difference
between self-picks and quick picks.
Quick picks are the
numbers that are generated by a machine. You can walk in, tell the
cashier you want a quick pick and he/she will print a card out for
you – the machine picked the numbers.
Self-Picks are those
numbers the player chooses by hand. Those are my favorite.
So many people go
with the quick pick option because they are under the impression that
they have more of a chance of winning money.
Scratch off Games
Don’t forget about
those scratch off games – there are many out there who have made it
big from scratch off tickets. There are so many different scratch off
tickets you can choose from.
Do not buy only one
scratch off ticket. Buy ten scratch off tickets in a row from the
same game. If you follow this, you will be increasing your chances of
winning. On the other hand, playing with one card only gives you one
chance to win money.
Regardless of what
you do, with scratch-off tickets, you’ll get more losers than
winners. However, learning how to make an educated choice will go a
long way.
Your Price Point
Scratch-off tickets
have varying odds, designs and styles. They normally cost between $1
to $20 a piece, depending on the game and the area you buy it from.
With the cheaper tickets, there will be a low percentage of winners
and the prices probably aren’t as high as the more expensive ones.
The more expensive tickets, $5 and up, will have a higher overall
percentage of winners with higher-payouts and normally a higher
jackpot. In other words, the dollar ticket may win more often, but
the top prizes may only be a couple hundred dollars.
The Odds of the Game in Your Budget
Just because a
certain game presents a higher odds of winning, that doesn’t mean
you’re more likely to win the big jackpot, but it does mean that it
is a more valuable ticket for the price - large spread of lesser
prizes. You should buy tickets that are in your budget– those
tickets should have the highest odds of any winner.
The Small Print on the Back of the Card
Look at the back of
the scratch-off, do you see the small print? The odds are listed as
a comparison of numbers: 1: 5 or 1: 20. This means that 1 out of
every 5 or 20 tickets will be a winner. Mind you, don’t get
confused here, this does not mean that every fifth ticket is a winner
and it doesn’t mean if you go and pick 20 tickets, one will
definitely be a winner. It means that the total number of tickets
allotted, in every store across the USA, that percentage of tickets
are winners.
Buy Your Tickets in Bulk
There are at least a
couple of winners in each roll, so it would be a good idea to buy
your tickets in bulk – meaning 10 or more at a time. However, if
you know that a winning card has already been purchased from the
pack, stop playing the game for a couple of days, then come back,
start playing a different game or go to a different store. These
tickets are normally sold with a guaranteed number
osers and winners in
each pack, which usually consists of 30 or 40 tickets. The best way
to guarantee you will win something is to buy the whole pack.
Check the Prize Level Before You Play the Game
It is legal for a
retailer to continue selling tickets after the top prize has been
given. For this reason, you need to check to see prize levels before
you buy a game. If the top prizes have all been claimed, you may
want to switch the game.
Set a Scratch-off Budget and stick with It
Decide how much you
can afford to put towards scratch-off tickets each week.
This should be money
you can afford to lose, because winning is never in stone. No matter
what you do, you should never go over your budget. I know, this can
be tempting, but don’t do it.
Chances of Winning Based on the Wager
Now, let’s take a
look at the odds of winning with respect to the type of wager. In a
straight wager type, a player has 1:1,000 chances of taking in money
per play as straight bet is a tricky bet. In a wager type box, a
player has 1:167 odds of winning per play. In a wager type box with
two same numbers, the odds of winning per play are 1:333. In wager
type pairs, the odds of winning are 1:100 per play. Thus, in wager
type Pairs, a player has the maximum odds of winning the game.
This is Pick 3, a
game with smaller offers, but with more chances of winning. Another
game that is similar to Pick 3 would be Pick 4. Just like the Pick 3
game, with the Pick 4 lottery game, the player will have to go for
combinations of four, instead of three numbers, ranging from 0 to 9.
Also, with Pick 4,
you will have more betting options and we all know what more betting
options means … it means you have more chances of winning the game!
Similarly, with Fantasy 5, you can win even more money.
Play with a Proper Strategy
Regardless of the
jackpot, you should play your games with a proper strategy and never
let greed get in your way. Greed will only lead to losing. I have
watched people for quite some time and have noticed that they are
more attracted towards the big jackpot lotteries (people tend to have
their eyes on the bigger price). The smaller games tend to get
ignored.
Go ahead, try
playing some of the games with smaller prizes and see if you are able
to win.
