  • But I Don't Want To Share!

    Don’t forget that if other people pick the same numbers as you, you’ll have to share that jackpot. People are more likely to pick a “lucky” number like seven, or a number between one and 31 to represent a birthday. Avoiding those numbers does give you a very slightly improved chance of scoring the prize alone, so statistically speaking, it’s better to go with uncommon numbers.

  • Boost Your Odds!

    The best way to increase your odds of winning is to buy more tickets. If you have a one in 300-million chance of winning, buying a second ticket doubles those odds to two in 300-million. But remember, that even if you spend a million dollars buying Mega Millions tickets, the odds would still be strongly against you.
