The world over, winning the lotto has become almost a universal dream. Most players buy 5 or 10 Quick Picks after work or while they're at the store. This accounts for the vast majority of lotto sales. But, these players haven't done anything to improve their chances of winning the lotto jackpot.
This is what's called playing Full Odds. For example, in the Lotto Texas 6/54 Lottery, the chances of winning the lotto jackpot are 1 in 25,827,165. This is Full Odds. So, they'll have to be one very lucky player to win the lotto jackpot. How lucky?
Hopefully, this statement won't disturb to many of you. I believe that everyone who plays is going to win the lotto jackpot! Provided they live long enough. So, how long is enough? Well, in Lotto Texas, drawings are twice a week. If the winning numbers never repeat, the last winner will be celebrating in about 250,000 years! Even if you were one of the real lucky players and your numbers came in 50 years from now, you wouldn't have much time left to enjoy your good fortune.
Players Dilemma
This is the lottery players dilemma. How can the player win the lotto jackpot before he's dead or too old to enjoy it? This is the predicament that serious lotto players attack every drawing. How do they shrink 250,000 years of lotto drawings to something acceptable?
The only hope is to use some quality lottery software and their brains. The lottery software helps develop and manage their lottery strategies to improve their chances of winning. So, if you are serious about winning the lotto in your lifetime, it would be wise to purchase some good (great) lottery software. Unfortunately, there are maybe only 3 or 4 decent lottery software packages on the market and the rest are a waste of time and money. So, caveat emptor my friend.
So, just for grins, 'How much do you think you can improve your chances by using lottery software? The answer is quite a bit, actually. Most of you will be surprised at the dramatic effect even some rather simple lotto strategies can have.
Here's an example. Let's take a look at the Lotto Texas, TX654 lottery. As I stated earlier, the chances of winning this lottery are one of the highest in the US; 1 in 25,827,165! But, you don't have to settle for that. Here is one very simple thing that you can do that dramatically effects your chances of winning the lottery.
Increase Your Chances
Don't play!!! That's right; don't play the state's game. Instead, play your own game and call it Lotto Texas 6/53. Simply remove one of the 54 numbers from play. Pick one of the 54 numbers that you believe will not be one of the winning numbers. The remaining 53 numbers become your reduced play list.
At first, this may not sound like a big deal but the effect is dramatic. This simple act increases your chances of winning the lottery to 1 in 22,957,480. So, 2,869,685 wagers were removed from play! That's nearly 3 MILLION wagers!!! This has the effect of concentrating your dollars. Now, each dollar you spend has an effective value of $1.12.
So, are you going to win the lottery? Not necessarily. But, using lottery strategies like these means that your chances of winning the lotto jackpot are better than everyone else playing Lotto Texas. Here is an interesting point. If everyone playing Lotto Texas used this strategy in the next drawing, the state lottery officials would be scratching their heads the following day and wondering why their payout suddenly jumped 10% above normal.
Whoops
Right now many of you are asking this question, "What happens if you pick one of the 6 winning lotto numbers by accident?" Great question! All I can say is, "Whoops." Yes, it happens, but, how often? Remember, in each drawing, only 6 winning lotto numbers are drawn, leaving 48 lotto numbers that are not drawn. Your chances of picking one of those 48 are very good. In fact, doing this 95% of the time should be easy.
So, when you play the lotto, there is no reason for you to settle for the odds posted by the state lotteries. Why should you, when this simple lotto strategy works day in and day out for all lotteries. If you're serious, then get some good lotto software and try to reel in the date when your ship comes in, to a date you can live with.
