The flagship lottery game of Louisiana, the Louisiana Lotto has a starting jackpot of $250,000 that just keeps on increasing until someone takes home the jackpot. Similar to most lottery games, you just simply need to pick six numbers from one to forty and if your numbers are the same as the numbers drawn during a draw then you win the jackpot. The drawings are held Wednesday and Saturday, and of course except during Christmas day.

It is difficult to win a lottery game with a big number field, like the one used in the Louisiana Lottery but do not despair, there are ways to tip those odds slightly towards your favor. First of all, if you decide to play this certain lottery game, then you need to have a plan; consider when you will play and how much money you will invest in this game per draw. Before playing consider these tips, they could help you increase your chances of winning:

The more tickets you buy increases your chances for winning. It\’s true; it\’s the old fashioned way of increasing your chances for winning. One ticket gives you a chance, but two tickets doubles that chance. Just remember that you shouldn\’t overspend when buying lottery tickets.

When picking a number combination, divide the highest possible number by two, now you have two groups of numbers to choose from, the low and the high. For example this particular lottery has 40 numbers, divide it by two and you get 20. The numbers one to twenty are the low groups and the numbers twenty-one to forty are the high groups. A balanced combination has numbers from both groups with a good ratio of 2/3 or 3/2 respectively.

Pooling resources with a group can mean more tickets and probably more luck being pooled into your corner, don\’t be afraid to join with a group interested in winning the game as well as you do. Having to share winnings with a group still means you\’ve won a significant amount of money from the jackpot prize!

These tips can help tip those odds to your corner but remember that persistence is the key to any game, including the lottery. Without persistence to continue playing and that belief that you will win, then your chances of win will dwindle to nothing. Be persistent! It\’s the key to that jackpot!

A lottery system doesn\’t only help boost your chances but in some cases it could be that winning stroke you are looking for in order to reach that jackpot prize. After choosing a system, continue with it, dedicate yourself to it and just maybe you\’d be holding that jackpot prize in your hand after the next draw!

If you still think winning is impossible, then consider the fact that there have been four winners this January of the year 2011. That\’s four winners in one month! Four winners! Hundreds of people win the lottery everyday, the jackpot or the other prizes that the game offers, it\’s not an impossibility; you CAN do it!
