How to increase your chances of winning the lottery
The odds of picking a winning lottery ticket are pretty slim but there are some ways to improve your chances .
Games with small jackpots tend to have better odds, so it’s worth taking notice of the difference. For example, EuroMillions is harder to win than UK Lotto.
Some lotteries may have bonus numbers or other features which could improve someone’s chance of winning.
Looking at these additional elements and understanding them can help someone make a more informed decision when choosing their numbers.
Each lottery draw is random and balls have the same chance of being drawn.
However, there are some balls that statistically have appeared more often than others which could make them seem a better bet.
For example, previous research has showed that number 38 was most common, 23 was second most drawn, followed by 31, 11, 45 and 25.
There is another easy way of getting more tickets at the same cost and that is by joining a syndicate.
Of course, you share the winnings, but the chances of matching the numbers drawn are vastly improved.
Thunderball
The top prize offering on Thunderball is £500,000, and you have a one in eight million chance of being the lucky winner.
However, the odds of winning any prize at all are just one in 13.
Thunderball draws take place five times a week, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and you can pick up tickets for as little as £1.
National Lottery

Customers have the option to either select a lucky dip or to choose their own numbers, with some staying loyal to the same selection each week.
To win the Lotto jackpot players must match the six main numbers in the draw.
The odds of winning the Lotto jackpot are currently around 45million to one.
However, the odds of winning any prize at all on the National Lottery are one in 54.
