What Time Do They Announce Mega Millions?

What Are Your Odds of Hitting the Mega Millions?
The odds of winning the Megamillion were 1 in 258,890,850. However, this has changed, as the format of the lottery has undergone a few changes. Earlier, players could pick 5 numbers from a pool of 1 to 75. Now, the players can pick numbers from a pool of 1 to 70 and choose one mega number from a pool of 1 to 25. The odds of winning the jackpot hence becomes 1 in 302,575,350
General Strategies to Follow
A Brazilian mathematician and economics expert has established the relationship between random numbers using big data. His research has found that the possible combinations of all numbers appear similarly. Hence, a few numbers are likely to be given preference for the bigger winning. However, if machine algorithms could predict the winning numbers accurately, lotteries would lose the essence of it.
Hence, there is no magical formula for winning the lottery, but you could follow a few strategies to boost the odds of winning the lottery. They are as follows:
♦ You can make use of a wheel system, which allows the bet on larger numbers.
♦ You must do thorough research on the numbers that have won the jackpot in the past. You can either figure out the group of numbers that have not been represented in the previous draws. With the given data, you can draw inference on the numbers that have never been chosen, the numbers that have occurred repeatedly and so on.
♦ Make sure you avoid choosing numbers ending with the same digits. For instance, numbers like 43-33-53-13-03.
♦ Avoid choosing consecutive numbers.
The biggest strategy, however, remains that you need to play more to win more. Purchasing a larger number of combinations is one way to increase your chances of winning the lottery. You can either buy a larger possible combination all by yourself or join a lottery syndicate.
♦ One of the widely played combination is 1-2-3-4 and you must avoid this combination. This number is too perfect and the odds of this number being selected at random are very low.
Mega Million Winning Numbers Strategy
Play with a mix of 3 odd -2even/odd- 3 even numbers
You must be smart while picking the numbers. As mentioned above, chose a mix of odd and even. All even or all odd numbers are rarely the winning combination. The prevalence rates are as low as 3%. Hence, one of the best mixes of numbers is three odds and two even or vice versa.
Play with a mix of 2 high-3 low or vice versa
If you split the number in half, then you have two broad categories to choose from- the high half and the low half. In Megamillion, numbers from 36 to 70 fall within the former category and the numbers from one to thirty-five are the lower half. Remember, all high and all low combinations are underperforming numbers, which means they are rarely drawn. Hence, the best alternative is to pick in a 3/2 or a 2/3 combination of the two.
Play with the cold group of numbers
If you pay close attention to the past winning numbers, you would notice that some group of numbers have only recently started to become active. For instance, have a look at the following combination:
3-9-33-46-68, you will notice that the 10’s, the ’20s, ’70s, ’50s and the 90’ are not represented. Hence, draw out a list of a frequently occurring group of numbers and the dormant ones. Play with the ones that have been dormant for a while, but are appearing more actively now.
Balance your game of numbers
Once you have picked the mega million-lottery number, you must add them together. Make sure that the sum is up to 223 but not less than 132. Nearly 70 percent of the combinations that won the jackpot has had a sum in this range.
Play with repeat numbers
Did you know that at least one number is a repeat form the last drawing? Moreover, two or more numbers are repeated by only 4% of the time. Hence, you can try using at least one number from the previous draws.
Play with long shot numbers
Long shot numbers are those, which have won after 17 draws since the last hit. You can use a combination of five hot numbers and one long shot numbers. Hot numbers are those that repeat after six or lesser draws since their previous hit.
Conclusion
Briefly, it will be tricky to conclude that there is a fool-proof strategy to win the lottery, but there sure is a robust strategy to increase the chances of winning the lottery.
