The
Lottery Jackpot: Why You Haven't Won Yet - And
What You Can Do About It
by Martin Waterhouse
Did you miss the lottery jackpot
because the planets were in the wrong alignment...
er, no! Could it be that you did something bad
and this is your punishment... er, no! I know,
maybe you won a little bit last week so it really
isn't your turn again just yet... no, No, NO!
The reason you didn't win
the lottery jackpot, is simply because the lottery
is just so damn hard to win. It may not look like
that many combinations -- but when you do the
hard math, your chances of winning are somewhere
in the region of 1 in 13 million, depending on
which lottery you play. Even worse for a Powerball
type draw!
That's why you haven't won
yet. FACT: it's the only reason.
So what can you do?
Well, here's my biggest, best,
darkest lottery secret of them all. It's actually
an utterly obvious technique to significantly
improve your chances of winning the jackpot --
but only obvious in that "so obvious we just
stop seeing it" kind of way.
Forgive me for it also sounding
dull and uncomplicated -- no math degree required
to understand this. But whatever you do, don't
be blinded to the sheer value and importance of
this under-appreciated fact. OK, here goes, brace
yourself... Buy More Tickets. Whoa, there we go,
I've said it. I've given away not only the best,
but the ONLY way to improve your lottery chances,
just like that. I must be crazy huh?
Well you could always just
give me a weeks salary and I'll hide that fact
in some complicated bewildering math and pretend
it's a 'secret system'... OR, better yet, I could
hide it in a piece of software and you could pay
me double for that ;-)
OK, before I upset too many
vendors of dodgy lottery 'systems', I'll take
my tongue back out of my cheek!
Fact is, and big ugly fact
it is too, but really the fact is -- the only
way to increase your chances of winning the lottery
jackpot is to cover more of the possible combinations
in any one draw.
Think dice.
There are only 6 sides to
a dice. So, just 6 possible results when you roll
it.
If you only bet on one number,
you have a 1 in 6 chance of winning. Bet on two
numbers and you double your chances. Bet on all
6 numbers and you're a guaranteed winner. Woohoo.
OK, so no-one is going to
give you a couple of million for guessing which
number comes up on a dice. Unless you happen to
be betting half a million or so along with five
other people!
But, that's how the lottery
works too. Buy two lines, and you really do double
your chances. The jackpot odds are still horrendously
against you of course -- but two lines in one
draw is better than one line in two draws. (Makes
my head hurt too when I think about it too long,
but that statement is entirely correct).
Oooh, did you notice I let
another little secret slip out there. Yes, playing
less often but more lines does boost your overall
chances of winning -- yet costs exactly the same.
That's a wise way to play.
So why not play 20, 50, or
a 1,000 lines in a draw?
Because that's pretty expensive,
and you don't want to be risking the mortgage
money on the lottery. Not if you want to come
home to family harmony!
So what else can you do?
Form a syndicate. Get together
with people at work, your social club, the neighbours
or your family. Pool your lottery money together,
and share your winnings. It costs you no more
but your chances improve significantly. That's
a wise way to play.
What if you don't know enough
lottery players to make it worthwhile? Find a
commercial syndicate that plays your lottery --
or plays another countries lottery (lotteries
are pretty much the same the world over!).
