French Lotto - The Real Way to Pick 6-49 By Cris Malcolm At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

There are many advantages when it comes to playing the French Lotto. First of all, there is that sheer convenience of being able to play online. Literally, you do not have to go to the store or booth, fill up a play slip and pay for it in person. You can choose your number combinations any time, anywhere… as long as you have Internet access and a serviceable credit card number, that is. Also, there are more chances in winning the lesser prizes. The French Lotto basically works this way: you have playing options that allows you to bet on 6 numbers (Jeu Simple) or up to 10 numbers (Jeu Multiple) all at the same time.

There are 6 main numbers and a supplementary or bonus number that are usually drawn per game. Naturally enough, the jackpot money goes to the winning ticket that has all 6 main numbers. But there are also prizes awarded to 5 main numbers; 5 main numbers plus the bonus number; 4 main number; 4 main numbers and the bonus number; 3 main numbers; and main numbers and the bonus number. Nonetheless, with all these chances of garnering a hit, very few people actually know how to win a winning number combination. Here are some tips you might want to consider next time.

1. If you have access to old Lotto results, this would be a good time to study these. If possible, try not to stake your Euros on the 6 number combinations that have already won the jackpot money in the past. There are very little chances that these numbers will be drawn again any time soon. You can easily check out past French Lotto results from various online sources.

2. Quit betting on 6 consecutive numbers. A lot of people keep betting on consecutive numbers thinking that this will help increase their chances of winning. But that is the farthest thing from the truth. 5 consecutive numbers are rarely drawn. That means betting on 5-6-7-8-9-10 or 12-13-14-15-16-17 or 42-43-44-45-46-47 is as good as wasting your money on a lottery ticket. Be more imaginative in your selections. If possible, try various combinations of odd and even numbers.

3. Another 1-2-3-4-5-6 combination is useless. Almost all lotto games in the world have their own set of patrons who like betting on this combination. Unsurprisingly, this combo has never been declared as the winning combo in the French Lotto. But that still has not stopped other people from betting on these numbers. If you want to stop wasting money, you might want to bet on any number combination other than 1-2-3-4-5-6.

4. Avoid betting on play slip patterns. You can’t blame people for having a sense of humor; but you also cannot blame the lotto system for not generating a matching winning number combination for you. Play slip patterns can be in the form of a linear match (or numbers in one line of the play slip,) corner pattern (numbers chosen to form a box like shape,) cross pattern, x pattern, diagonal pattern, alternating numbers from two lines of the pay slip, and more. Although there is no rule against this kind of betting, this is a veritable waste of time. The chances of getting a hit from these combinations are at zero to 2% only.
