“A bias towards higher numbers” can result in bigger lotto payouts – October 24th 2011

  by: admin - Category:

Lotto fans who want to boost their luck playing their favourite lottery can increase their chances of a bigger payout if they select numbers that are high.

This is according to emeritus reader in mathematics and statistics at the University of Sussex Dr John Haigh, who claims that unpopular number combinations are less likely to result in a winner having to split their prize.

“You should have a bias towards higher numbers, as low numbers up to 31 – because they are associated with birthdays – are chosen more often than average,” he explained.

Dr Haigh added that there are no mathematically proven ways of increasing one’s chances of winning the lottery, but this technique is the best way to boost a lotto fan’s jackpot share.

One prize lotto fans may not want to split is the Italian SuperEnalotto jackpot, which has rolled over again, hiking the top payout up to €26.8 million.
