Based on a survey recently carried out in the US, 8 out of 9 people reduce their chances of winning big amounts on the lottery by picking their numbers from the same range - based on loved ones' birthdays, ages and other superstitious numbers. If you select your numbers for the UK Lottery using this technique, the chance is that when those six numbers actually to get drawn, you will be sharing your fortune with dozens of others blessed with children and grandchildren who share the same birthdays. A great, but expensive, coincidence.

As a matter of fact, the chance exists that you will be fortunate to ever win a lottery on the UK lotto by playing one ticket based on the same set of numbers. Consider the odds of actually getting all six correct are actually 14 million to one, then let´s say that you buy fifty times a year, over the course of your lifetime, you will have entered the lottery 100 times a year for fifty years between the ages of 20 and seventy - a total of 5000 times. Now divide that 5000 into the 14 million to one chance that you have of winning the ...
... jackpot and you will see that by buying one ticket per draw for the next fifty years, you still only have a one in two thousand eight hundred chance of actually winning the top prize. If you had five grand to play with, would you bet it on a game that had such long odds of success? Definitely not!

The National Lottery probability says that the best way to play the lottery is with a group of co-workers or as part of a professional syndicate. In most cases, you are still allowed to use your favourite numbers, however there will be several tickets amongst your friends which will be different from the "traditional" method of choosing numbers for the national lottery, and therefore generating increased winnings for variations of numbers that you would have never conceived. The more players there are in your syndicate, the better chance you have of winning a prize, and even if you do not always hit the jackpot, bigger groups regularly win multiple mid range prizes, often several thousands of pounds, which means that the five thousand pounds you are likely to invest in the course of your lifetime has a far better chance of seeing a return.

Lottery groups are not expensive to enter, have no long term requirments and will make you feel like a winner more often. The chance for winning any prize in the noational Lottery is just over 54:1, so if you join a syndicate that offers more than 55 of winning, the likelihood is that you will win a prize of some value once a week. That may not be enough to cover the cost of your entry in week one, and maybe not even weeks 2, three and 4, but when compared to the 14,000,000 to one chance you play for at the moment, belonging to a syndicate will definitely improve your chances of winning the national lottery.
