So there you have it, a grand list of the odds of winning a prize on the UK and Euro lottery, obviously looking at the above tables the odds are stacked against you but you can use a simple technique to massively increase your chances. This technique is so simple that many people overlook it and continue to put on the lottery each week and continue to loose each week. This technique is so powerful you wont believe you haven't been doing this all along, the secret is, is to put on more lines. If you put on 2 numbers your odds of winning the jackpot would be 2 in 14milion or 1 in 7 million, effectively doubling your chance of winning. The problem with putting on more numbers is that it costs you more, one way around this is to play in a syndicate, yes the overall prize would be divided down but a share of £2 million would still be life changing. More so, you have a much better chance of winning on the lottery by playing the odds. To play the lottery online in a syndicate with a massively increased chance of winning take a look at my e-lottery site its easy to join and you can play the UK Lottery or Euro Millions, its your choice.
