We have all dreamt about what we would do if we won the lottery. Some of us even dream about winning the lottery and don't even play. Others play every day and are convinced that one day, they will win. Although there is no foolproof way to win, there are definitely some strategies that can help you increase your chances of bringing home a jackpot. Here are the top best 10 lottery strategies. You can use one, or many, but either way, your odds are sure to increase.

#1 Picking Personal Numbers:

Picking personal numbers is a strategy used by most people who play the lottery infrequently. Personal numbers are generally addresses, phone numbers, and important dates. Something especially important to consider when using birthdays or other special dates is the limited amount of numbers available and the amount of other people who may share that special day. When people use birthdays to choose their numbers they tend to choose numbers between 1 and 31. Thus, many of the high numbers are never chosen. Although choosing special dates tends to work pretty well, choosing a higher number once in a why may prove be make all the difference.

#2 Lotto Pools

Lotto Pools or Clubs are groups of people who join together to share in the cost of buying tickets and then share in the winnings. A lotto pool can consist of several, dozens or even hundreds of players. Joining a lotto pool can reduce the cost of playing and increase your chances of winning. When using a Lotto Pool, be sure that each person pays the same amount of money and receives the same amount of money if you win.

#3 Don't Just Guess

There is a lot of information on the internet about which numbers have been used recently, which numbers have been used the most, and which numbers are overdue. You can use this information to shape which numbers you use.

#4 Lottery Software

There is also a lot of lottery software on the internet that will do this research for you and help you choose numbers according to whichever category of numbers you choose. For example, some Number Generators take all past winning combinations and comes up with the most probable combinations for future drawings. They can tell you the most frequently hit numbers, the least frequently hit numbers, and the overdue numbers (the numbers that haven't been hit in a while). These Number Generators can help you make more educated lottery number choices.

#5 Wheeling Systems

Wheeling systems are systematic methods for playing lotto games that cover many possible winning combinations. They basically arrange a group of number selections into multiple combinations that give either full or partial coverage of all possible combinations of those selections. This way, lotto players get maximum coverage of the numbers they wish to play as well as increase their chances of winning. If the correct group of numbers is selected, players are guaranteed to win one or more prizes.

#6 Maximize Your Returns

While you don't know if you will win the lottery or not, you can ensure that if you win, you win big. There are numbers that are not used as often as other numbers. If you choose those numbers, you may be less likely to win, but if/when you do win, you will win big! Some numbers that are not picked as often are: 1,2,3,4,5,6,11,13,21,31,41,51, and 61.

#7 Number analysis

Number analysis is a mathematical method for choosing lottery numbers. Number analysis consists of thorough analysis of previously drawn numbers, such as the number of times a particular number came out, what the hitting percentage of that number was, and the last date when that number occurred. While this is not 100% effective, it does prove to increase your chances of winning.

#8 Using Numbers That Have Won Before

Some lottery players use numbers that have won in the past because they think that past winning numbers have a better chance of winning. The problem with this strategy is that only a few times have the winning combination numbers become winners once again. As with every other strategy, winning involves a lot of luck.

#9 Choosing the Right Game

Each lottery game has different odds. So, if you choose a game with better winning odds, you chances of winning is obviously much better. For example, a pick 3 game is a lot easier to win than the Mega Millions or Powerball. More so, you can guarantee a win if you just buy every combination. For example, there have been occasions before where the grand prize for a pick 3 lotto game, was well above $1,000. One can win several pick 3's just by watching for those events. Investing $1,000 to guarantee $1800 is not a bad investment at all. Thus, choosing the game where you have a bigger chance at winning may be the best lotto strategy out there. The winnings may not be very big, but in the end any winning is better than no winning at all!

#10 Vibration Lotto

Vibration lotto may seem a little kooky, but some people swear by it. Vibration lotto number prediction is not based upon assumption math, theory, imagination or some kind of rational mind pattern or system. Instead, it is based upon the vibrations of numbers and their electrical charges. Vibration lotto is a bit more complicated than other strategies, but there are several books and manuals that can teach players how to use vibration lottery methods.
