Six Tips on How to Win the Lotto NZ:

If you want to boost your chance of winning the Lotto NZ, here are the nine helpful tips to increase your winnings.

1. To increase your probability of winning, you need to buy more tickets. But the downside of this is that you may need to spend lots of money to win a price. The worth of your winnings may not be fully compensated because of the high investment you put in buying tickets. But then again, buying more lottery ticket may help improve your chances of winning.
2. Don’t choose consecutive numbers. For example, if you play a lottery with five winning numbers and you have to choose until numbers 42. The total numbers must be between 104 and 176. Our statistics have shown that 70% of lottery jackpots have sums that fall in this range.  
3. Don’t choose a number that falls in the same number group or ending with a similar digit. Although, there is a possibility that you may win, but the probability is very low.
4. Look for more unpopular games played at odd times. Don’t go for lottery games that always have a winner try to explore other unpopular games like Yawmiyeh. Most likely, people will all go to that lottery game, so your chance of winning is lesser. Go to the less popular, with lesser game player, so your odd of winning is higher.
5. Some people tend to play lotto based from the numbers of their birthday, or the birthday of a family member. If this happens, you will usually get more numbers from 1 to 31, as this corresponds to the days in the calendar method. If you choose numbers above 31, this may not increase your chance of winning but it can boost your probability of not sharing the prize with anyone.
6. Keep in mind that every number in the lottery has an equal probability of being chosen as the winning number. There is no software that could predict the exact winning number. But you can increase your chance of not splitting the jackpot price if you use the not so common number.
