Lottery expert's location strategy may up your odds but only works in certain areas

Lottery players seeking to increase their chances of winning may find hope in a strategy revealed by a lottery expert, but its effectiveness is limited to certain regions.

While the odds are often stacked against players, an Arizona news station, KPNX, recently shared a map generated from the state's lottery website, highlighting recent winners and their locations.

In a recent segment, anchor Emily Pritchard revealed a map, from the Arizona's lottery website, that showed recent winners and their locations.

Clicking on a city reveals the corresponding counties and even the specific stores where the wins occurred. For instance, at a store located in Phoenix at 13802 North 40 Street, two winners had secured $2,000 prizes.

Meanwhile, 33 people in Glendale had won more than $600 in the last week.

Emily suggested considering locations that have previously sold multiple winning tickets, though the decision to follow this advice is left to individual players.

It's important to note that not every state provides a similar map, but most offer information about recent winners and the specific locations of their victories through their respective lottery websites.

While the location strategy has its limitations, players can explore other methods to improve their odds, keeping in mind that no strategy can guarantee a win.

Selecting numbers with personal significance, such as birthdays or meaningful digits, is another strategy that some players claim is effective, despite no mathematical evidence behind it.

As one lottery expert told 12 News: "One, two, three, four, five, six has the same odds as any other numbers, so you should decide how to pick your numbers based on what's most fun for you."

For instance, North Carolina resident Audrey Woodard won $25,000 per year for life by using family birthday numbers.

It is essential to remember that responsible gambling practices should always be followed. If individuals face gambling-related problems and require assistance, the National Gambling Helpline is available at 1-800-522-4700.
