Should online lottery fans go for games with smaller prize pots? – October 31st 2011

  by: admin - Category:

Lottery fans who love to log on and play their favourite online lottery draws may find their chances of winning improve if they go for games with smaller prize pots.

Matt Asher, editor of StatisticsBlog.com and maths graduate from the University of Toronto’s well-known statistics programme explained that – in general – lotteries with smaller jackpots might give enthusiasts a bigger chance of winning.

“If you play lots of small stakes games, you may win small amounts often,” he explained.

He added that the best lottery draws to get involved in could be those with middle-level jackpots – but where lotto fans are motivated by the size of the top prize, they may need to weigh up a greater chance of taking home some money and the amount of cash on offer.

And a bias for higher numbers could also boost one’s chances of winning big playing lotto online, as emeritus reader in mathematics and statistics at the University of Sussex Dr John Haigh explained last week that entering unpopular numbers means lucky players are less likely to split their win.
