Don't think lucky. Think smart. Some of these tips may seem obvious at first sight, but I bet you've made some of these common mistakes at one time or another.
1. You've got to be in it to win it - OK, that's not much of a secret, but it's amazing how many people forget to enter, arrive at the terminal too late, go on holiday, or it's too cold to go out - and a whole host of other reasons. The best way to ensure continuity of entries is to join an automated system that takes care of everything for you.
2. Make sure you claim all winnings, even the smallest. You wouldn't believe winners would fail to claim even a tenner, but they do, and doesn't your heart just ache when you hear about the thousands of pounds that go unclaimed. What was the story behind it? Did the dog eat the ticket, was it lost? Imagine the heart-ache of knowing your regular set of numbers was the winner, but you couldn't find the ticket. Again, a centralised automated system will do all this for you.
3. Choose your numbers carefully - it's not that some sets of numbers are more likely to win than others. They're not. Each set has an equal chance. But if you choose the same numbers as many other people, should that series be drawn, you will be sharing your win with all those who chose the same number sets.
4. To maximise your winnings - you need to maximise the number of lines you buy. At one level this is obvious too, but common-sense dictates that you must stick within a budget. Buying extra tickets needn't be as expensive as you'd first think.
5. One simple way to maximise your number of lines is to join a lottery syndicate where you share in the winnings of a group of friends, but without increasing your own costs. For instance I am in one syndicate where entries start from just a tenner a month.
6. Running a syndicate is hard work if you "do-it-yourself". Finding enough members to have a significantly better chance of winning, chasing them for money every week, replacing drop-outs, buying tickets, and dividing the winnings. Save yourself this hassle - automate it!
7. Spread your risk over different Lottery games. I play in two very different Lottery games, one of which is a mutli-Lottery syndicate, meaning that it includes multiple lines entries in several different games AND premium bonds.
8. Minimise your cost of playing. Both games I play in have an optional way to play for free, or at least reduce your monthly cost, by introducing a few other players. Many people have no interest in this whatsover and that's fine - but if you're playing for free and just accumulating wins, there's no reason to cancel your lottery syndicate subscription.
I hope you've found food for thought in those simple pointers.
