Many people, if not most, would not consider gambling an acceptable subject in financial planning. But with millions of people involved in gaming of all sorts, and billions of dollars, euros and pouns at stake, why not? Some people gamble exclusively for entertainment; but what if you want to gamble to actually produce income?

Lotto is one of the most popular forms of gaming. Although no one has yet perfected the technique or the formula to second guess the winning combination, many manage to make good earnings by guessing the probable winning combinations. Some rely on intuition, while others rely on mathematics. The best chance you have of discovering the winning combination depends on how you use the most vital ingredient required for every day living – commonsense.

Rather than focusing on expensive strategies that use random combinations you need to focus on possible winning combinations. This can be achieved by just categorizing winning combinations. If you determine, based on historical data, that the future jackpot will have more numbers from 1 to 9, then you should have combination of numbers that will include at least four numbers from 1 to 9. This way you will not have to buy more number of tickets to increase your odds of hitting the big prize. By not buying too many tickets you not only save money, but also have enough to play another day (which might prove to be your lucky day).

Playing in syndicate is also a good idea, but you have to share your prize money with all the members of the syndicate and this means you still have to keep your job and report back to office on the following Monday. Categorizing numbers doesn't require a lot of mental ability. What you essentially do is target a group of numbers and then try out different combinations. For example, if you have deduced that 1 to 9 may be the combination that you need to focus on, then your combination should be 1,4,6,9,26,30 or 1,2,5,7,36,39 or 1,3,8,11,29,45. Now with these numbers, note that your focus is on numbers from 1 to 9 and the other numbers are ones which have an outside chance of being drawn. You may not necessarily hit the jackpot with this system, but you will surely win decent sums of money to finance your future games, and if lady luck happens to smile on you; you can forget going to work on the following Monday.

The commonsense approach requires that you play knowledgeably. If you are targeting the group from 1 to 9 it would be utterly foolish to draw four numbers in a series like 1,2,3,4 or 6,7,8,9 as the first four numbers; doing this makes your chances of hitting the jackpot or any small prize more or less zero. It means you have lost the game even before the winning numbers are drawn. This amounts to literally throwing away your money.

So, the best strategy to win lotto? Well, the best strategy is to zero in on the most probable winning combinations; then use common sense to arrive at the combination of six numbers. If you follow this practice each time you play, your chance of hitting the jackpot goes up dramatically. If you are going to gamble, do so intelligently, and play to win.
