Many people select their lottery numbers using random methods, or pick their loved one’s birthdays.  But others look for a more scientific approach to selection.

My boss uses this lottery number calculator and recommends it as simple, quick and reliable.

If you want a complete random number generator, one of our readers sent in this lottery number generator.  Whatever you choose, remember lottery is a game of fun, chance, but also one that if played seriously can seriously improve your bank balance

Here are 5 steps to giving yourself the best chance to win your chosen lotto jackpot:

1. Pick numbers that have not been won recently (check 6 months) this is more true if they are from a recent draw (a matter of weeks). Although number draws are purely random, there is a mathematical formula that shows recent winning numbers are less likely to win again.

2. Avoid obvious number sequences, such as 01, 11, 21, 31, 41, 49.  Many players choose these system so if you do win, your prize will spread thin.

3. Never choose numbers that were recommended by a lottery tips service; too  many other people subscribe to these, again if you win, your prize will be spread thin

4. Never ever base your selection solely on dates of family or friends birthdays.  Logically you are limiting your selection because since there are only 31 days at most in a month means more people decide will choose their numbers from that same range.

5. Always add an element of random choice.  This is the nature of the universe, so let it run its course!

Choose your lottery today and have your number selection ready. Good luck.

At theLotter, we operate slightly differently (and we believe better) than the traditional lottery retailer.  With them, if you win you can only collect a small winnings payout from the store, anything above about $50 and you need to visit the lottery offices to claim a check or suitcase of cash!

At theLotter Online Lottery , when you win up to US$ 500, the money will be transferred automatically to your Credit Card or NETELLER account, whichever is registered as your default payment method.  Winnings of above US$ 500 will be transferred to you by a bank transfer, after a Customer Verification process and after you have uploaded all the necessary bank account information in ‘My Details’ in ‘My Home’ section.

Simple as that!

Lets cut through the confusion of what is the ”Euro Millions Lottery” In essence this game is a cross-Europe lottery launched by Camelot (who run many of the European and US lotteries) in 2004. The first draw took place on Friday February 13, 2004 in Paris.

At the first draw, the UK, France and Spain were included in the game. In time additional lotteries from six European countries signed up to the Euro Millions system.

The Euromillions Lottery, or the Euro Lottery as it is sometimes known, takes place every Friday and pools the stakes of these nine participating European countries offering huge euro lotto jackpots. The countries currently involved in the Euromillions Lotto are:

• UK (The UK National Lottery)
• France (La Francaise des Jeux)
• Spain (Loterias y Apuestas del Estado)
• Austria (Austrian State Lottery)
• Belgium (Loterie Nationale de Belgique)
• Ireland (Irish Lotto)

It’s undeniable that the Internet has made a huge impact on everyday life. From communication to commerce, so many things can now be done online. Lotteries from all over the world are now open to you without your even leaving your computer seat – all thanks to the Internet. Instead of sticking to the stale old lotteries in your area, you can now play at bigger lotteries in different countries with even larger jackpots. Here are some of the jackpot hotspots from all over the lotto-playing globe.

El Gordo (Spain) It’s not a far-off statement to say that every online lottery website in cyberspace now offers bets for El Gordo, the largest lottery in Spain and arguably one of the largest on the planet. Whereas most other lotteries have prizes to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, El Gordo advertises that it has up to $3 billion in prizes to award. Add that to the tax-free lottery systems of Europe, and you’ve got yourself a very enticing lottery game indeed. You won’t, however, be getting all those digits in your bank account should your bets get drawn. In this Spanish game, you buy shares of cards (usually in tenths) that have numbers on them. You then wait for the draw and cross your fingers that your numbers will get drawn.

EuroMillions (Transnational) One of the biggest lottery games in Europe, it’s a good game to consider if you’ll be playing in online lotteries. The EuroMillions game holds many of the record-breaking jackpots from the last few years, most notable of which is Dolores McNamara’s €115 million (about $152 million) windfall – the largest individual payout in the world to date. It’s also worth playing as an online lottery because all prizes in the EuroMillions Lottery game are awarded lump-sum and tax-free, making your win much, much sweeter.
Mega Millions (Multi-state, US) and Powerball (Multi-state, US) Although taxes and deductions eat up a good chunk – a majority, in fact – of Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots, some of the bigger jackpot winners are still left with noteworthy amounts on their prize checks. The two winners of the biggest Mega Millions jackpot to date – an advertised $390 million – for example, would split the after-tax prize of about $140 million. Powerball prizes aren’t so far off, with the largest jackpot (under the previous Powerball brand) at $363 million. SuperEnalotto Even if it gives relatively middle-ground sums, this Italian game is another online lottery favorite because it always yields tax-free lumpsum prizes. In other words, the advertised amount is exactly what you’ll get should you happen to have the jackpot-winning ticket. Besides, there have been many times when the SuperEnalotto gave out prize amounts that were very far from measly. Its October 2008 €100 million (about $127 million) jackpot, for example, inspired an Italy-wide lotto-betting frenzy. There’s a lot of lotto money to be won on both sides of the Atlantic. Now that online lotteries are so widespread and well-established, you can think less of national boundaries and focus more on just getting that multi-million dollar (or Euro) prize.
