Here are 5 Top Tips to keep in the forefront of you mind next time you complete your lottery play slip. Oh, these tips won't increase your actual CHANCES of winning a prize - because obviously ONLY buying more lottery tickets can do that.

BUT these tips can make a huge difference to the AMOUNT you actually win when your lottery numbers do get drawn.

How is that possible?

Because all 5 of these lottery tips are based on doing what you can to avoid selecting lottery numbers the way a lot of other people pick their numbers. Because if you select lottery numbers the same way as most other people do, then when you do hit the jackpot, you end up sharing that prize with everybody else who selected the same numbers as you.

That simple mistake can turn your enormous dream jackpot pool of millions into a much less impressive prize of just a few thousand! And this really does happen, all too often too - so please don't let this happen to you too.

So let's jump in and discover those simple tips that help to make your lottery jackpot the life changing dream jackpot you are looking for:

[1] Never select numbers that are previous jackpot winners, and in particular never select winning numbers from recent draws. A lot of lottery players believe that winning numbers are lucky in some way and are therefore more likely to get drawn again. Of course this is not true, but it doesn't stop lots of people making this mistake.

[2] Never select your numbers based on using a sequence of numbers, such as 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. Especially don't play 07, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 ' as the number 7 is commonly thought to be lucky, this multiples of 7 sequence is very commonly played. People do like making number patterns, so very large numbers of players select their numbers in this way every single week.

[3] Never select numbers provided by a 'tips' service. You can imagine just how many hundreds or thousands of other people will also play exactly the same numbers!

[4] Never select numbers just according to birthdays of family and friends. This is a very common strategy amongst players when selecting lottery numbers. But if you consider there are only 31 days at most in a month, this means a lot of people pick all of their numbers from just that range. Make sure some of your numbers are larger than 31.

[5] Never make patterns on your play slip. Straight or diagonal lines, boxes and star shapes etc. You might believe nobody else would do that. But the fact is anywhere from tens of people to tens of THOUSANDS of people will do exactly the same thing!

Selecting Better Lottery Numbers

The fastest and easiest method to select better lottery numbers, is quite simply to pick them out completely at random. So why not pull pieces of paper from a bag. It can't guarantee you won't select a poor set of numbers, but there is at least a decent chance that you won't share your winners millions with hundreds of other not quite so lucky winners.
