Fact is, lottery organisers love creating games with very long odds. Why? Because it means more rollover jackpots. Which means jackpots which grab newspaper headlines. Which generates more interest and higher ticket sales.

But what's more foremost -- the media profile of your chosen game? Or your odds of winning the lottery?

Here's a quick reminder of what lottery odds look like.

A acceptable 6 balls from 49 lottery gives you about a 1 in 13 million opportunity of winning for each ticket. Long odds yes, but hey this is a lottery! But just hang on a second...

A typical Power Ball type draw is regularly 5 balls plus a bonus ball. That may sound easier to win, but it's actually so much harder it hurts! Take the U.S. Power Ball, that's 5 balls from 53 followed by 1 ball from 42 -- fact is your odds are now colse to 1 in 120 million for the jackpot. That means you have to buy Ten times as many tickets just to have the same opportunity of winning!

How about EuroMillions? It may at first sound harder to win, but it's actually easier! The Euro game is 5 from 50 plus 2 from 9. But that's actually a 1 in 76 million chance, practically twice as easy to win as the U.S. Power Ball.

The U.S. MegaMillions is far worse. 5 from 56, plus 1 from 46 -- that gives you spectacular, odds of 1 in 175 million!

There's also a smaller imagine to be implicated at big rollovers. If a lot more population play there's a greater opportunity of many winners, which means sharing that gigantic jackpot that was harder to win in the first place!

So are power ball type draws just designed to confuse players about lottery odds? Maybe -- but I'll leave that one for the conspiracy theorists. Let's just consolidate on improving your chances of winning the jackpot shall we!

Here's the short, sharp guidance for playing more wisely...

Play the game which gives you the best opportunity of winning a life changing sum of money. Yes, 100 million does look great fun, but would it make your life any different to winning 10 million? Of policy not. So why decree for 10 times less opportunity of actually winning!

So if you play a power ball type draw, the fastest, cheapest, most sufficient way you can boost your lottery chances right now... Is to change the game you are playing.
