Seven-time Lotto winner's top tips for upping your chances ahead of €50M EuroMillions jackpot

The Irish Lotto draw is up to €3 million tonight and the EuroMillions jackpot is €50 million. Richard Lustig, a seven-time L lottery winner from Florida, shares his tips for upping your chances. He won over $1 million in state-sponsored lottery games from 1993 to 2010.

Lustig advises against buying a "quick pick" ticket. He believes that every time you buy a ticket, you get a different set of numbers and the odds are always going to be at their worst.

Lustig explains how to choose the numbers you feel most comfortable with for the Lotto. He suggests using the entire board instead of just playing numbers 1-31. If you're playing multiple lines, make sure you have variety in the grouping of numbers chosen to maximize your odds.

Form a lottery syndicate. Get more tickets and lottery numbers. Increase your odds of winning without breaking the bank.

Don't get carried away with lottery gambling. Set a budget and stick to it. If you can only buy one ticket, stick with it, if you have money for groceries, rent or other things, don't buy more than 10.
