By throwing $20 as opposed to $1 at the Mega Millions, I've increased my chances of winning from 1 in 175 million to 20 in 175 million. What great odds! Mark,

Yes, you’re absolutely right. By throwing $20 as opposed to $1 at the Mega Millions, I’ve increased my chances of winning from 1 in 175 million to 20 in 175 million.

What great odds!

You are totally WRONG and flies in the face of logic. Simple logic suggests that - dollar for dollar - you have 20 x the chances if you spend $20 rather than $1. Still, only spend what you are prepared to lose. cheers, Mark <a href="http://www.winlottofrequently.com" rel="nofollow">How To Win Lotto Frequently – Guaranteed!</a> And one more thing – Brian, you suggest that just spending $1 rather than say $20 on the lukcy draw doesn’t make much difference.

It's the people who play consistently and spend thousands of dollars a year on the lottery that worry me. I would tend to agree with you, but I think it’s ok to play every once in a while.

As a lotto systems consultant, I see thousands of dollars lost every week, and it's sad - often by people who really can't afford it. The first thing I always say to people is only spend as much as you are prepared to lose - and then if you do win something, it's a bonus. The other piece of advice is to play the least number of games (least cost) to win the most probably prizes. True, the six-number prize is enormously difficult to win becuase of the odds, but the smaller divisions are much easier, and make up 99.9% of the prize pool anyway. So always target the 3, 4 and 5 number prizes first - that is, combine your numbers in such a way that every 3, 4, and 5 number combination of your nomninated selections is covered - you can still win the big one, but you are more likely to win the smaller prizes more often. cheers, Mark <a href="http://www.winlottofrequently.com" rel="nofollow">how to win lotto frequently</a> You are abolsutely right Brian.
