The probability of hitting a jackpot win in the lottery is determined by a small number of factors. These for example, the total count of the possible numbers, the count of the wining numbers that are drawn, and the significance of the order (bonus ball draw) and as in some lotteries, if the drawn numbers are returned for drawing again.

Here are some quick tips for picking your lottery numbers online

•    Avoid picking the same numbers as other people you know (avoid special / significant dates)
•    Avoid the numbers that have recently been drawn as winning groups.
•    The higher the jackpot, the more numbers / rows should be chosen.

Unfortunately, most people use all of their money buying lotto tickets for their local lotteries where they don’t stand a chance of really making the big money. Most local lotteries offer small prizes which reflect the relatively small number of people playing.  Winning a 2nd or 3rd prize in some of these local lottery draws offers little more. This is because the jackpot prizes are so small, that second and third place prizes by default wil offer less

We now statisticaly that if players had access to larger prizes they’d play more because they’d win more and win more often.  they stand a chance of making much more money playing lotto, spending the same amount as they would spend locally.

Online lottery is a game of chance and odds, not so much skill (unless your a regular players and use lottery systems to track and compare numbers that come up each week).  At theLotter you can review and play any one of the dozens of international lottery games.  The more you play, the more you spread your choice of numbers, the greater chance of winning.

I’ve been there, you may have to, that moment of lottery panic when your paper lottery ticket causes stress.  What happens if you mislay your lottery ticket? or if you accidentally destroy it? drop it in the sink or leave it behind somewhere, or one of the many stories where the dog eats it?

Some people are simply forgetful and leave their winning ticket somewhere until it expires? So, what happens if your numbers come up, you win but you don’t have your ticket? Some lottery services have a failsafe for this, but not many. In some places you may or may not get a receipt for your lottery ticket, and most don’t get receipts anyway even in places where they can. After all, how far can a lottery ticket travel away from you right?

Two names will give us (2) lucky name numbers. If you use a third name, or an initial (such as George W. Bush), you will have (3) lucky name numbers. Orlando Bloom’s name gives us (34) and (21) respectively.

Orlando = (15)+(18)+(12)+(1)+(14)+(4)+(15) = (6 + 9 + 3 + 1 + 5 + 4 + 6) = (34)

Bloom = (2)+(12)+(15)+(15)+(13) = (2 + 3 + 6 + 6 + 4) = (21)
