With the odds of winning tonight's Lotto mega jackpot standing 45 million to one, the chances of players joining the rich elite are quite slim.
But mathematical genius Dr. John Haigh has devised a clever way to help Mirror readers try to get a big share of the 57.8 million pound prize.
The jackpot must be won tonight as it has been rolled more than 13 times and if no player receives the six numbers, then those who have five and the waltz bonus ball with the unexpected win.
Dr Haigh said that choosing a combination of numbers that add up to 200 significantly increases his chances of winning big.
Stefan Mandel won $ 27 million in the Virginia state lottery in 1992. Not by chance, but because he used a winning method (and bought all possible lottery ticket combinations for a given lottery). In doing so, he secured a life on a paradise island, luxury cars and endless possibilities. "I knew I would win a first prize, six seconds of prizes, 132 third prizes and thousands of smaller prizes," said a confident Stefan. However, this was not his first big win and was, in fact, the 14th lottery win in Stefan's life. With his first victory, he used the money to move his family to Australia.
For Stefan, the lottery was "the only way to get some serious money quickly," and as such, became a lottery ticket purchase in a business. He planned for years ahead of time to secure the big lottery prize and after enough research came up with a formula that allowed him to buy the exact set of winning tickets. After the twelfth victory, the odds were against Stefan and he had to look elsewhere for his "salary" for the lottery. That's when he hit the Virginia Lottery.
In the 1990s, the odds of winning the jackpot were much higher and there were only 7.1 million combinations of lottery tickets. All in all, it was a three-month job. All 7.1 million tickets were printed in Australia and then shipped to the United States. Stefan then negotiated with lottery ticket sellers to receive a fair price on the bulk purchase of tens of thousands of lottery tickets. When the drawing took place, there was no doubt in Stefan's mind that he was going to win. And winning did. First prize, second prize, third prize and thousands of smaller prizes.
