Millions of people play the lottery every week hoping to hit the jackpot. In doing so they have to deal with very low returns, in the hope of hitting the jackpot.

The money lotteries pay out is usually less than 50% of the money they take in. Compare this with 97.5% returns for single zero roulette or ~99% on blackjack the conclusion is obvious. But the lotteries have another trick up their sleeve; the jackpot. Well, I will do everything in my power to help you with that but let's continue.

So what are you saying LG? Stop playing the lottery and put my money in a bank to earn interest? Well, from 1970 to 2007 the average compound rate of return for the S&P 500 incl. re-investment of dividends was around 11.4% per year (source: standardandpoors.com).

If instead of playing around 15 lines in the lottery twice a week you had invested that money (like some), after 39 years you would have made your first million and 6 years later your second and probably double that every 6 years thereafter. How is that for a jackpot in a lifetime? During the same period in the lottery you would have played around 72,000 lines out of 14,000,000 for a (theoretical) chance of a jackpot of 0.005 % (the actual % is probably much lower).

But who needs sound financial advice when you can play the lottery and hit the jackpot, right?

OK, I get your point, we need to win now, tomorrow never comes, and if it not this draw it would definitely be the one after.

Let’s be clear whatever I tell you below cannot improve on the jackpot at least for now. With our favourite software we can bring this down to 1 or 2 million to 1, otherwise the jackpot will always be 1 in 14 million for a 6/49 lottery and you will need a little bit of luck to get there, but as it says at the top of my website ‘Luck is when opportunity knocks, and you answer’.

Let me take you back to when you had a few small wins in the lottery, how did it happen? In my experience you found 2-3 strong filters in LotWin lottery software then you went on to the number sets and picked just 4-5 numbers with the condition of a couple of them to be correct. And after an Optimum reduction, if necessary, you ended up with a line of 3 or even 4 correct and you were ecstatic and rightly so.

So let’s start with 5 numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. How about if I told you that if you had just one of these 5 numbers correct you are guaranteed 50% profit every time on your investment? Or if you had 2 numbers correct you are guaranteed 500% profit on your investment? But the lottery does not pay for 1 or 2 correct I hear you cry.
