All the lottery stats & odds

In this post we have tried to pool all the available information there is regarding lottery statistics and the calculations of the probabilities of winning a prize in a particular lottery.

The lotteries we cover in detail are the UK’s National Lottery Lotto draw game, the Lotto Plus 5 game, the Lotto HotPicks game, the EuroMillions game and the Thunderball game.

Whilst pooling all of this information about the UK’s lottery draws, we have come to the unfortunate conclusion that there is no system devised that can influence your chances of selecting winning numbers other than to spend more money.

The one alternative to spending more of your own money is to join a syndicate.

1 in 4 Lottery jackpots are won by a syndicate. That is because as a syndicate pool all the money from their members, they buy many more tickets. Each extra ticket they buy dramatically improves their chances of winning. For example, buy one ticket for the Lotto draw and your chances of winning are 1 in 13,983,816. If you enter into a syndicate of 100 people, each of you spending £1, your odds of winning reduce to 1 in less than 700,000. You may win less as the winnings are split 100 ways, but you have many many many more chances to win.

Our tip would be to get as many entries into those large jackpot draws as possible. Even joining a syndicate of 100 people could win you a life changing amount of money. Sign up now and get yourself some free lottery tickets today.
