Sure you can simply stroll into just about any store and buy a lottery ticket. It is just that easy. That is just as it should be. Playing the lottery may be a fun and easy diversion with the possibility of an important payoff. You, on the contrary, are a more serious player. The very fact that you’ll be reading this shows that. You are motivated enough to wade through detailed information to learn how to cut out the bad habits and practices and locate a better way to play the lottery within an intelligent manner. Here is a list of 10 too common mistakes that lottery players make. Each and every one of these items could possibly be costing you ticket money, time, frustration, and possibly even millions of dollars. Read them, Source take them to heart, and after that put them into practice.
Playing the Wrong Lottery Games
Have you ever really considered which games you play and why? How much money do you really should win? What amount of winnings will make an impact on your life? Here in Texas we have several different choices. You may play a sizable multi-state game like Mega-Millions with HUGE multi-million dollar payoffs although the unfortunate odds of only 1 chance in 175,711,536 of taking home the jackpot! Wow, that’s one ticket for each of over half the people of the U.S.A.
On the contrary the Texas Two-Step lottery prize begins at two hundred thousand dollars and it has often reached a million dollars. The odds of winning the smaller game are only 1 in 1,832,600! By switching from the Mega-Millions game to the Texas Two-Step you boost your chance of winning a
prize by over 95 times! Put yet another way you would have to buy 95 Mega-Millions tickets to have the same odds of winning with one Texas Two-Step ticket.
In the area you live you will find probably the same choices between small games with small prizes like pick thee games, five and six ball games with mid-range payouts, and the huge multi-state games with incredible odds against you.
Playing Birthdays as Lottery Number Picks
Trust me, I know. You have a series of numbers that you have chosen based upon your children’s birthdays and the day you got married as well as your mom and dad’s wedding anniversary date. Bad move. Here’s why.
When you choose lottery numbers based on meaningful dates you limit your choices to the range of days in a month. To put it differently you are limited by numbers from a pool of 1 to 31. As an example of the problem in this particular method think of this. Within the Texas Lotto game 6 numbers are drawn from a pool of 54 numbers. 54 numbers give you a whopping 25,827,165 possible combinations! Whenever you decide on the pool of numbers between 1 to 31, how many combinations do you think there are to pick from? There are actually a measly little 736,281. Think about that. Whenever you choose between 1 and 31 you get 736,281 possible combinations BUT you absolutely, positively lose out on the additional 25,090,884 possible combinations! Choosing birthday numbers decreases any chance of your having the winning combination by almost 97%. That is insane.
I know, you read about several men and women that chose birthday numbers and won millions. I also understand that your string of birthday numbers has EXACTLY the exact same chance of being drawn as any of the other 25,827,165 possible combinations. It’s true, each combination has the exact same chance of being drawn. But, are you prepared to cut out almost 97% of your possible winning chances? I am not prepared to give up almost all of the possible winning combinations simply to use sentimental choices. My goal is to play smarter than that.
