Common mistakes to avoid when playing lottery games
When playing the lottery, it is important to avoid certain mistakes that affect your chances of winning.
One of the most common is choosing numbers based on birthdays or anniversaries. This limits the selection of numbers to only those between 1 and 31, so many more are rejected and could be winners.
Another common mistake is not checking lottery results. They may forget to check certain minor prizes that could have been won. It is also important to check lottery tickets carefully, as there have been cases of players discarding winning tickets by mistake.
Finally, you should avoid relying solely on luck. Although the lottery is a game of chance, there are certain rules and guidelines as mentioned above that can increase your chances of winning.
