SAVE ON LOTTERY TICKETS
December 31st 2009 12:03
For those of us who are regular players of government run
lotteries, the idea is to win while spending the least amount of
money. Right?
So here are a few strategies to spend less on lottery tickets and
win more:
1) Play the games with the best odds of winning.
a. Most lotteries post the probability of winning statistics
on their websites or printed publications. Research this!
2) Lower tier prizes add up to reduce your cost of weekly
ticket buying.
a. Play the games with generous lower tier prize payouts.
3) Play the games with an "Instant Win" component as well
as the regular draw prize payouts.
a. Find out how many "plays" are needed to qualify for an
"Instant Win" entry. For instance, some lotteries require
a minimum US$5 ticket purchase to qualify. So if you
normally purchase more than $5 per week in "plays,"
divide them up on multiple cards so each one is at least
the minimum to qualify. Make sense?
4) If you have any questions about odds or drawing specifics,
call the lottery office and speak to a "live person." They know
the answers and are paid to help you.
