Common mistakes to avoid when playing lottery games
When playing the lottery, it is important to avoid certain mistakes that could reduce your chances of winning.
One of the most common is to select numbers based on birthdays or anniversaries. This limits the selection of numbers to only those between 1 and 31, so many others are discarded and ignored and could potentially be winning numbers.
Another common mistake is not checking lottery results properly. Smaller prizes that could have been won can go unnoticed. It is also important to check lottery tickets carefully (some players have mistakenly discarded winning tickets).
Finally, it is advisable to avoid relying solely on luck. Although the lottery is a game of chance, there are strategies and decision-making that, used tactically, can increase the chances of winning.

It is important to note that lottery winnings are subject to federal and state taxes, so you should be prepared to pay a portion of your winnings in taxes.
