For reasons of common sense, as well as statistics, the best game to win at is the one with the fewest numbers, Pick 3. No, you won’t be able to retire from the winnings but you WILL win. Next time you go to buy a ticket and hear an old timer asking for a Pick 3, ask them if they won. They probably will say “Yes, a bunch of times.” The secret is in how to play.

If you select any three single digit numbers and then play them straight and box, you’ll be spending a few dollars on every drawing. The winnings will be anywhere from $150 to $600 depending on the state and the frequency of winners. But rest assured you will win as it is only a matter of time. So figure, if you spend $3 per week for 52 weeks, you spend $156. This is totally tax deductible after you win by the way because after winning a lottery, any amount of money proven to be spent in the process can not be taxed by law.

So if you win once, you potentially triple your money! That’s a deal. But realistically, you’ll win a couple of times at least. Then your investment will go up by  1000% or more. While not a get rich quick scheme, it is a way to earn some extra cash.

Best of Luck!
