There are no strategies or methods to playing the lottery that are guaranteed to work every time. If there was a method to playing the lottery that worked every time, the lottery would not be in business. We would all be winners. Nevertheless, there are some tactics which can improve your chances of filling out tickets that win more consistently.

Method 1 - Play lotteries with lower jackpots and that have less players.

This increases your chances of winning the jackpot. Generally the higher the top prize, the less probable it is you will win as you have more competition for the winning number.

Method 2 - Never buy a Quick Pick ticket.

Studies in various countries have shown that lottery tickets that you manually pick out yourself have a much better possibility of winning than the ones where you let the computer systems do the picking for you.

Method 3 - Play tickets that award extra cash or prizes if a sequence of numbers is played, such as two pairs in a row.

Method 4 - If you are playing a lottery which demands that numbers be won in a particular sequence, you should always remember to box your selection meaning that the numbers that can win can be picked in any order.

Method 5 - Play lotteries that offer bonus wins for an extra number.

Examples of these are Mega Millions and Power Ball.

Method 6 - Play the most tickets that you can, as this raises the odds that you will be holding a winning ticket.

Method 7 - Combine your money for playing the lottery with several other people.

An example would be an office lottery pool. This lets you to buy a lot more tickets than you normally would be able to on your own. Experiments have revealed that there actually is power in numbers. The probability favor individuals who have joined a group as winners rather than those who play solo tickets on their own.

Method 8 - Try a wheeling system.

Quite simply, wheeling simply helps you span a larger number of numbers each occasion you play increasing your likelihood of winning. This maximizes your payoffs when playing the wheeled numbers on multiple tickets.

Method 9 - Check sites on the Web to see which numbers have paid off lately in your neighboring lottery.

Then try to choose numbers that have not paid off lately. The hypothesis is that at least some of them are due to turn up in the next random pick. Keep in mind that these numbers should be mixed with other numbers, as the chances are rather low that all of the winning numbers would not have been in a winning combination for a recent game.

Method 10 - If you are not sure which numbers have paid off lately or what are the numbers that are most likely to pay off in a future lottery, there are also many sites on the web that have completed your homework for you, predicting through mathematical odds which numbers are most likely to come up.
