Increase your chances with a lottery pool

Lottery Syndicate gives us some pointers on winning and playing in a lottery pool is one of them.

How to increase your chances of winning the lottery

One way is to play less often but play the same number of tickets overall. 5 lines played monthly in one draw have a better chance than 1 line played weekly for 5 weeks. That probably made your head hurt for a second, but work it through. It's not quite as much fun as entering every draw though.

The other (obvious) way to increase your chances of winning the lottery... - buy more tickets. It's easy to see that if you buy two tickets, you double your chances. So that 1 in nearly 14 million, becomes a much better 2 in 14 million, which is the same as 1 in 7 million! Wahay, now you're gonna win big. ;-)

Don't forget though, that there are prizes for matching 5 numbers out of 6, or 4 numbers or just 3. So your chances of winning the lottery aren't quite as bad as they look. Still pretty grim though!

So accepting that the best way to really boost your chances is to buy more tickets, it's time to decide if you want to do that with your own money - or if you like the idea of sharing the cost, but can also accept the idea of sharing the winnings.
