Real tips to winning a lottery, like that Mega Millions (almost a billion) Tuesday night.

Mega Millions is up to $820 million. Last week I mentioned that whenever the machine picks my numbers, I don’t hit a single one. So, I picked all my own numbers, off the top of my head, for last Friday’s drawing. Not a single number was right. So I researched and found a few different other ways to pick the numbers.

Actually put a little work in and study the statistics. Some balls do get drawn more frequently. Go through a year or two’s drawings and work out which ones are more common.

Pick numbers over 31. Sounds weird, but there’s a method to the madness. A lot of people use their birthdate as in the day of the month. Y going over 31, you might increase your chance of not having to share winnings.

Try numerology. It comes down to finding your Life Path Number. It involves taking your date of birth to find your root number and takes a bit of explaining. It’d be easier for you to use this link to a webpage that shows you how.  

Also here’s a video where a mathematics professor gives tips on what to do to increase your chances of winning a lottery. Good luck!
