Can you REALLY Improve Your Lottery Results?

Absolutely. Even the Lotto companies themselves tell you so.

How? There are two recommendations that always come up:
a) Play a System Entry and
b) Form a Lotto Syndicate / Lotto Club.

Do these recommendations make sense? Definitely.

Take the following examples from a 49-ball lottery :

- A single 6-number entry has a 1-in-13,983,816 chance of winning;

- An 8-number system entry has a 1-in-499,420 chance of winning;

- A 10-number system entry has a 1-in-66,589 chance of winning;

- A 12-number system entry has a 1-in-15,134 chance of winning;

- A 15-number system entry has a 1-in-2,794 chance of winning;



For a 40-ball lottery, the figures are :

- A single 6-number entry has a 1-in-3,838,380 chance of winning;

- An 8-number system entry has a 1-in-137,085 chance of winning;

- A 10-number system entry has a 1-in-18,278 chance of winning;

- A 12-number system entry has a 1-in-4,154 chance of winning;

- A 15-number system entry has a 1-in-767 chance of winning;

In summary - Playing a 15-ball entry improves your odds OVER 5,000 TIMES!

The problem is - System Entries are expensive.

- A System 8 requires 28 games

- A System 10 requires 210 games

- A System 12 requires 924 games

If you can afford to play a System Entry, we recommend you do, preferably sharing the cost with friends.

If you can't, let's look at the next-best alternative.

Let's suppose you wanted to Improve your Odds by 33% - How would you do it? By playing a System 8. Instead of just six numbers to pick the winners (requiring a 100% success rate), choose eight numbers - a 33.33% increase that allows you to get two wrong and still walk off with First Prize. Sorry, ride off, probably in a Ferrari !

At this stage you need to make a choice. At $1 per game, you need $28 plus agents commission. What do you do if you only have $5 ? Either:

- Find 5 friends, each with $5, giving you $30 in total - and off you go, or

- Decide the best entry you can play for $5.

Surprisingly, there is a very effective way to play eight numbers - if you know the secret of combining them properly - that guarantees First Prize and costs under $5.

Let's suppose you chose the following eight numbers:

3 8 15 20 23 28 35 42

Before you go any further, circle six of these eight numbers.

Here's how to combine the eight numbers for the best results less than $5.00:

Game 1: 3 8 15 20 23 28
Game 2: 3 8 15 20 35 42
Game 3: 3 8 23 28 35 42
Game 4: 15 20 23 28 35 42

Now check off the six numbers you chose previously. How did you do? Pretty effective, huh ? You will ALWAYS have Five or Six winning numbers together if you have all six winning numbers in your eight.

* LOTTOMASTA's HOT TIP * If you play them as FOUR PAIRS, eg
3 & 8 - 15 & 20 - 23 & 28 - 35 & 42
You are GUARANTEED First Prize if you have any three pairs correct.

We agree - it is not as good as a full system 8 - and if you can afford all 28 games, we highly recommend you play the full system 8. If not, this four-game arrangement is pretty neat.

What's the Magic Formula ? This is -

Game 1: 1= 2= 3= 4= 5= 6=
Game 2: 1= 2= 3= 4= 7= 8=
Game 3: 1= 2= 5= 6= 7= 8=
Game 4: 3= 4= 5= 6= 7= 8=

No matter what 8 numbers you choose, substitute your 8 numbers for the numbers 1 to 8 above and you are guaranteed:

- First Prize if any 3 pairs (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, or 7/8) include the six winning numbers

- Five or Six winning numbers together if you have six winning numbers anywhere in your eight

- Five winning numbers together if you have five winning numbers together within any 3 pairs

- Four winning numbers together if you have four winning numbers together within 2 or 3 pairs

Here's how the conversion looks:

1: 1=3 2=8 3=15 4=20 5=23 6=28
2: 1=3 2=8 3=15 4=20 7=35 8=42
3: 1=3 2=8 5=23 6=28 7=35 8=42
4: 3=15 4=20 5=23 6=28 7=35 8=42




CAUTION - Magic Lotto System - or Snake Oil ?

There are some great Lottery Systems on the Web. There are also plenty of B-S systems, snake oil peddled by people with no respect for their customers. So how do you tell which is which ?

a) Does the System have a Guarantee? If not, avoid it like the plague.

b) Are they prepared to give you a Free System you can test? If not, ask yourself - why not?

c) Does the System have a 100% Money Back Guarantee ?

Good Luck!
