  • Mix it up!  Pick high and low numbers!  Its RARE for all teens or all 50’s to come up.
  • Here is one I found VERY interesting:  Add your numbers up,  make sure that the sum of the five numbers adds up to between 111 and 189. Sums that fall within that range account for over 70 percent of all winning tickets!  Who knew!

  • Pools: Office pools are popular when jackpots reach record levels.  Clearly the more tickets you have, the higher your chances of winning.  Most major jackpots are won by groups.  Sure you have to share…but $400 million is a high enough number to split.

    Now remember, these are just some tips out there.  This in no way ensures you will win.  I don’t want to be held responsible for that.  But if you do win….remember who helped you!

    GOOD LUCK!
