Some peoples minds cannot be changed, so if you’re one of those people who believe you’ll only ever have as much chance of winning as anyone else no matter what you do then stop reading now; the following article is firmly rooted in the belief that when it comes to number games, luck is part skill. Naturally these tips aren’t for everyone; If -like me- you’ve no patience with numbers/odds then playing with these tips will require some effort. Your hard will will deliver results though, as smart number picking, that is to say ‘numbers picked with some forward thought’, are more likely to win you Euromillions cash.
Before we take a look at the core number picking tips we have to fully understand what prizes are available and the odds of winning each one. A table of this information can be found by checking out the Euromillions Prize Breakdown which is linked to in my BIO at the bottom of the page. Whether you win €4-€50 to cover your costs and make some small profit, or €100 to splurge on something fun, your odds of accessing the prize fund will increase with smart number picking.
Let’s be honest though, it’s not the thought of winning €100 euro or less that has us part with our €2, it’s the big money that has our attention. When it comes to winning the jackpot we lead nicely into our first tip:
Naturally there’s a reason some people will never be without a Euromillions tickets, because they know the more often you play, the better chance you have of winning, this is especially true when you’re using logic to pick your numbers. It’s logic itself, if you regularly play with bad odds and have more chance of winning, then imagine how your chances will increase if you regularly play with better odds. Regularly picking your numbers in an intelligent way will see you regularly receive cash prizes until the day all 7 of your numbers match!
The chances of every number being either even or odd in the numbers drawn is approximately 3%. Take this into consideration when you bet. Historical data shows 1071 odd numbers VS 1064 even numbers drawn, consider this also. See where we’re going here? There’s almost a 50/50 split between odd and even numbers drawn. Thus the best way to smart pick numbers is to play a ratio of 2:3/3:2 for odd and even numbers.
In Euromillions you pick between the numbers 1-50. Therefore low numbers are 1-25 and high 26-50. Funnily enough historically 1055 low numbers have been drawn VS 1035 high. Thus to play the best chance of matching drawn numbers a ratio of low and high numbers of 2:3, or even 3:2 is also best for number picking.
In over 70% of all Euromillions draws the sum of the 5 standard numbers drawn has totalled between 90 and 160. See where we’re going with this? Make sure to add the sum of the 5 numbers you’ve chosen and check it’s between 90 and 160. The closer you are to being in between these numbers the higher the odds you have. The drawn numbers having a total outside of 90 and 160 is less than 30%, so why play to the chance of that happening?
Fairly easy tips to follow so far eh? However now things get a little trickier and will involved analysing the history of Euromillions numbers. For quickness you’ll find the last 10 results on the results page of the site in the bio. Numbers that haven’t appeared in the past 6 games account for just under half of the winning numbers in the next draw. Numbers that have been out for the last 12 games account for about three-quarters of the winning numbers next draw.
Grab the bull by the horns and apply these tips to your Euromillions entries today, before you know it you’ll start seeing more cash prizes. If you’re really focused on becoming a Euromillions winner stop relying on blind luck to bring you the jackpot someday, instead start thinking about all the other cash prizes that are available and how some intelligent number picking can help you win them.
With some small research into the numbers behind the game it becomes possible to pick which numbers are more likely to appear. If you regularly pick the most likely numbers to appear you will regularly match more numbers. If you match more numbers more often you are more likely to access some of the prize fund.
Simple!
