Those who only credit Lady Luck exclusively may be totally wrong

The Euromillions lottery is one of the geographically largest lotteries in the world nowadays. In many ways it may compete only with the famous Soviet Union “Sport Lotto” lottery – the one played by everyone old enough to cross out a couple of numbers. Here the age limits are 18+ (with the only exception of the United Kingdom where persons as mature 16 y.o. may participate) and the geography of the Euromillions covers nine countries. The first February drawing of the year 2004 included France, Spain and the United Kingdom, but by October of the same year another six countries stepped in as full-fledged participants.

If no one manages to guess all the 5 winning numbers and the two “lucky stars” in the drawing then the total prize fund is rolled over to the next drawing to become a jack pot. The number of winners is huge and quite often they are common people from Spain, the UK, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, Portugal, Switzerland and Austria. For many of those some basic info is given – something like “a single mother of two from Ireland” or “an art student from France” and you don’t suspect any exceptional effort from their side – just an immense luck and a silver spoon in the mouth maybe. But counting roughly, about every third happy winner of Euromillions wishes to remain anonymous. Could that be people who employed some kind of special strategy to win, hence the wish to remain incognito?

One of the popular strategies for winning in a lottery is the proverbial “money make money” thing. This includes investing in a lot of lottery tickets. And by a lot a really lot is meant. Thousands of lottery tickets are fit to if not to guarantee you the jack pot, but to pay back the initial worth of the tickets (2-3 Euros depending on the country and special features of the ticket) because they are bound to carry some winning combinations that should yield at least some finances with them. Since the Euromillions lottery money are totally tax free for the winner then those who play big do not lose anything even in the outplay of the worst scenario. By the way, the prize fund is constituted by the 50% worth of the tickets only. 28% of the ticket price goes to pure charity so buying lottery tickets in bulk may actually work on improving your karma, especially if you’d rather die than spend a charitable dime otherwise.

Since such bulk-winning strategy doesn’t involve the usual “brute force” combination breaking methods – for the winning combination can only be formed by a non-repeating integers from 1 to 50 and more than 3 consecutive numbers are unlikely to appear in a row in one drawing according to the laws of statistics – the chances are that there actually turn out to be some sure ways to make a business deal with the Lady Luck.
