We’ve spent a lot of time giving you tips and tricks on how you should play the  lottery and how to ensure the lottery results suit you.  I now think its the right time to give you some tips on how not to play the lottery.

1. Never choose lottery numbers that have recently won.  Many people think that winning numbers can be lucky for coming draws and so are more likely to come up again. This is far from the truth even though many lottery players still do it.
2. Never choose lottery numbers based on an mathematical sequences, such as 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, or 01, 11, 21, 31, 41, 49. People like number patterns - you may or may not be surprised at how many other lottery players choose their numbers like this.  If you do and you win, don’t be shocked at how little you come home with after sharing your bounty with thousands of others.
3. Never choose lottery  numbers according to the many online  ‘tip’ websites, just think how many subscribers they have and how many you’ll need to share your prize with.
4. Never choose lottery numbers purely according to family birthdays. Enormous numbers of lottery players choose the day of the birthday of family members when selecting lottery numbers. But there are only 31 days at most in a month - which means an awful lot of people pick all their numbers in that range.
5. Never  make a pattern on your lottery card itself. Diagonal and horizontal lines or any other patter such as; stars, boxes, etc. You may think it’s original, trust me its not. You may win but your lottery winnings will be shared and reduced.
