Here are 5 top tips to bear in mind next time you buy your lottery ticket. These suggestions will not enhance your likelihood of success but they can significantly add to the quantity you collect if you do win the lottery.

These 5 lottery winning tips are all to do with avoiding the methods used by other people when selecting their lotto numbers.  If you choose your numbers using a system that not many other people use, if you should scoop the jackpot you will not have to split it with a huge amount of fellow winners.  If you do make the blunder of choosing your numbers in a similar way as many other players, you might end up collecting a lot less lottery cash.

Here are the simple tips for making sure that your lottery jackpot is the life changing sum you are looking for:

1. Don't choose numbers that have won in the past, especially if they are a set of numbers that have come up in a recent draw. Countless players believe that winning numbers are somehow lucky and therefore more likely to be matched again; of course this isn't true but a huge number of the population still pick their numbers using this formula.

2. Do not select numbers based on sequences, such as 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 or 01, 11, 21, 31, 41, 49.  Many individuals love number patterns and you would be amazed at just how many people decide on their numbers using this system week in week out.

3. Do not settle on numbers that have been suggested by a lotto tips service; just envisage how many other players will use the same numbers!

4. Do not choose numbers based on dates of birthdays.  Enormous numbers of lottery players pick their birthday or the birthday of a colleague when choosing their lottery numbers.  But as we all know there are only thirty-one days at most in a month which means an awful lot of people pick all their numbers from that range.

5. Don't select your numbers in a pattern design on your play slip such as diagonal or straight lines in any direction.  This is a very easy way to choose your numbers which means that a large number of people are almost certainly using the same selection method.

The smartest way to go about selecting better lottery numbers is to choose them completely at random.  How you go about this random selection is completely your choice.  You could note down the numbers for your selected lotto on individual scraps of paper and then pull them from a hat; by choosing this sort of selection process you really are guaranteeing that your numbers are randomly picked. 

Selecting your numbers using this procedure by no means avoids the potential of ending up with a feeble collection of numbers but it certainly reduces the possibility of you having to share a lottery win with many other lottery players.
