You have certainly heard it often enough - there is no system that can guarantee that you will win at the lottery. That is true. But there certainly are strategies to improve your chances. Be sure to check the last paragraph to see how you can use this strategy when playing Eurojackpot! Tip #1: Play GG World Lottery instead of Euromillions This one is easy to understand. Let's take a look at the payout for both lotteries, side by side (the won amounts vary from week to week, of course, so we have used average numbers here). prize tiers probability GG World Lotto payouts Euromillions payouts (per April 23th 2020) 5+2 1 in 139 million Minimum Jackpot of $100 million €23 million 5+1 1 in 7 million € 500.000 fixed € 250.000 5+0 1 in 3,1 million € 250.000 fixed € 17.000 4+2 1 in 621.500 € 50.000 fixed € 1.400 4+1 1 in 31.700 € 700 (average) € 160 Payout comparison between GG World Lottery and Euromillions So GG World Lottery is clearly the better choice because ... both lotteries use the same numbers structure GG World Lottery does not hold their own draw, they use the numbers drawn at Euromillions instead to determine their winners GG World Lottery offers better payouts Tip #2: How to increase your winning chances even more Let's ignore the jackpot prize for a moment now, although the strategy that we suggest will also increase your chances to win the jackpot. Take a look at the second tier prize of € 500.000. That prize is worth winning, right? Your odds to win that one is 1 in 7 million. But what if we could improve those odds by the factor of 12 , bringing them to 1 in 580.000? How can we do that? It is quite simple, actually. For GG World Lotto, you have to pick 5 main numbers plus 2 extra numbers between 1 and 12 . You should play 6 "lines" with identical main numbers, and make sure that with your extra numbers, you cover all 12 possible extra numbers. Click here to play GG World Lotto now That way, if your five main numbers are correct, you will definitely win the second-tier prize of € 500.000, plus six times the third-tier prize of €250.000 - that is a total of € 2 million! And if you only get 4 main numbers right, you have a better chance of winning € 50.000 (tier 4), because you played 6 combinations of extra numbers. And you definitely win tier 5 for approximately € 700, plus 6 times tier 6 (app. 6 x € 90). The only downside is, of course, that you have to buy 6 lines. But with a systematical approach such as this one, your chances to win are dramatically better. What about a system for Eurojackpot? If you want to have a better chance to win the second-tier prize (which, at the time I am writing this, was € 7,2 million (April 23rd, 2020), you need to buy 5 lines and cover all extra numbers. The "system", if you can call it that, is similar to the one used for GG World Lottery. Click here to play Eurojackpot now Of course, instead of 1 combination of extra numbers, you now have 5 such combinations. That means you are 5 times more likely to crack the jackpot if your 5 main numbers win. But this is not our main point. It is this one: If your 5 main numbers are correct, you are guaranteed to win the second tier. In the past weeks, that would have been a win between €4,5 million and € 7,2 million. But you would also win 5 times the tier 3 prize of approximately € 140.000 (with 5 main numbers without any extra numbers)! That is another €700.000 right there. What if you have 4 of the winning main numbers of Eurojackpot? Well, in this case, your would win tier 5 once, and tier 6 5 times. Your total win would still be around € 800. Conclusion There is no such thing as a guarantee when you play the lottery . It is a game of chance, after all. But this is a strategy that will work to improve your chances, especially because it aims at the prize tiers below the jackpot. Those are definitely worth a shot, and the mathematical probability of winning one of those is a lot better, compared to those for the jackpot. And if you play like this, those odds look even more favorable!

Basic rules of Euromillions First, you have to pick 5 numbers out of a range between 1 and 50. Next, 2 "Lucky Star" numbers, which can range between 1 and 12. For obvious reasons, you cannot pick the same number for both the Euromillions lucky star numbers. There is a total of 13 prize tiers, and the top tier is the jackpot. In order to crack the jackpot, you need all 5 main numbers and the two lucky star numbers correctly on your ticket. Euromillions tips First, be on the lookout for the Superdraws. Those are held twice a year - the jackpot is raised to €100 million for the next draw. And if nobody has enough matching numbers to win the jackpot , then the top prize will be even bigger than €100 million in the next draw. Second, there is the jackpot cap, which comes into effect when the main prize hits the €190 million mark. At this point, all the funds that would normally increase the jackpot even more, will go into the second prize tier . That makes the second prize tier (5 main and 1 lucky star number - probability of 1 in 6,991,908) a lot more attractive. And if the jackpot has still not been cracked after 4 draws for the capped amount, then it will be paid out to the next tier in which there is a winner (or winners). Given the fact that often enough, no player matches 5 plus 1 number, you could win a share of the jackpot of €190 million with 5 matching numbers! And the odds for that win are a lot better, so this would definitely be a time when you really should buy some tickets!

If you are interested in playing either Eurojackpot or Euromillions, it is important for you to know about the potential winnings of both lotteries. Most players are, of course, mainly interested in winning the jackpot. On the other hand, the other prize tiers are also something to consider. Do not just look at the top prizes If you do not win the main prize, you might still win a minor prize. That may not be for a life-changing sum of money, but it is something at least. And you can always use that money to buy some more tickets for the next draw, right? Euromillions jackpot rules The Euromillions jackpot starts at € 15 million and can go up to € 190 million. If it reaches the capped amount of € 190 million and there is no winner in the first tier (nobody has the five main and two additional numbers correctly), all funds from the next round of ticket sales will be added to the amount that can be won in the second prize tier, and the € 190 million jackpot remains untouched and can be won in the next draw. And if the jackpot stays at €190 million during 4 more draws, then it will be split and paid out to the next prize tier that actually has a winner (or several winners). This is a great reason to play Euromillions when it is capped - the second prize tier becomes so much more attractive, and the odds for the second prize tier are one in 6,9 million, compared to the probability of winning tier one, which is one in 139,8 million Also, you need to know that twice a year, a super draw is announced. For that draw, the Euromillions jackpot is set at €100 million, no matter what the jackpot was for the previous draw.
