How to Increase Your Chances of Winning the Lottery: 10 Easy Tips (5 of 6)

8. Try a “balanced numbers” approach, like the “70% Rule”

Some lottery fans swear by systems like Gail Howard’s “70% Rule,” which focuses on picking numbers that add up within a commonly observed range. Does that rule really work, or is it just the players’ bias? Honestly, there’s no super-complicated formula that would predict the randomness of a random draw, but using a structured rule can put you in the right mindset.

9. Choose games with more frequent draws

Basically, it’s like buying more tickets, but you get extra draws instead. Your odds remain the same, but you’re given more opportunities to win over time. Think of it as unpacking your Christmas present vs. opening the Advent calendar every day for 24 days straight. If you enjoy that routine, you’ll definitely experience more frequent draws in your life. As an added bonus, many frequent-draw games also have smaller jackpots and better odds, which can make wins more realistic.
