Are you happy with the performance of your lottery strategies? Are they working the way you hoped? Is everything working out the way you planned?

Every lottery player out there questions his lottery strategies. Especially, when things didn’t turn out the way they expected. I’ve puzzled over this for over 25 years now and I believe I’ve found the best solution; the best compromise. Hopefully, this advice will improve your play.

First, lottery strategies vary from player to player; from the very simple to the very complex. In this article, I’ll stick to the basics. In preparation for the next drawing, a serious lottery player will develop a play list; a list of numbers to play. Here is the first question he faces.

How large should my play list be?

Before I answer that, let’s talk about what is at stake. If you are very aggressive and create a small play list, you run the risk that all 6 winning numbers won’t be in your list. This is biggest mistake players make. Essentially, they want to win the lottery so badly they go too far and make unreasonable decisions. Their play list is too small.

If I worry too much about throwing out a possible winning number then, their play list blossoms and it becomes too large. This may guarantee that all of the winning numbers are in their play list but this decision reduces their chances  Kerry899   of winning the lottery jackpot. As you might expect, the best answer is a compromise, a trade-off, somewhere in between.

The 80% Rule

Here is an example of the 80% rule. If you are playing a 6/49 lottery, I recommend the size of your play list should be 80% of 49, or 39 numbers. This will improve your chances of winning the lottery from 1 in 13,983,816 to 1 in 3,262,623; provided all six winning numbers appear in your list. Amazingly, this removes over 10 Million wagers from play; wagers that you will not be wasting your money on. As lottery strategies go, not bad.

By the way, by using a good lottery software program to identify various lottery number patterns, a good player can consistently get all six winning numbers in his 39 number list.
