Take 5 is one of the New York lottery games where you can easily win a lot of money with just a few investments. It has the best odds of all lottery draw games. All you have to do is bet on five numbers from 1 to 39. You can bet on your own combination by filling in the corresponding squares on the game card, or you can let the QuickPick machine make the selection for you. You can play for a minimum of $1 per game or up to $5 on the 5 game game card.
The winning combination is drawn via a live broadcast every 11:21pm on WABC Channel 7. Half of the day’s total sales go towards prize money, so the jackpot rolls over until someone wins it. The largest Take 5 jackpot so far was $825,960.00.
Being a game of chance, increasing your chances of winning the Take 5 lottery is pure logic. Avoid selecting all odd or even numbers because they are less likely to be drawn. Mixing odd and even numbers has about a 66% chance of occurring. Also mix the high and low numbers, with the low being the numbers 1-20 and the high being 21-39. Having 3 high and 2 low or 3 low and 2 high is 64% more likely to be drawn.
It is also not logical to bet on numbers from a group of numbers. It is highly unlikely that a draw will have only digits, teens, 20s or 30s. The same goes for multiples like 2 4 6 8 10 or 3 6 9 12 15 and consecutive numbers like 35 36 37 38 39 or 1 2 3 4 5. A combination that has the same last digits as 2 12 22 32 has less than 1%. to be drawn.
Winning this lottery game would also involve a bit of research into its history. Knowing the previous winning combinations will give you a clue as to the best numbers to bet on. It is proven that the numbers that appeared in the last 10 games will have a 79% chance of appearing in the next draw. And the numbers that have rarely turned up in the last 70 games are worth chasing.
In order to have a higher chance of winning, you may also need to do a simple calculation. Add up your combination and make sure the sum is between 70 and 130. 70% of the time, the winning combination total is within that range.
The New York Take 5 is like any lottery. It is a game of luck. And like any other game, you can always have that opportunity on your side if you are diligent enough to analyze how it is played. The odds of winning in this game are 1 in 575,757. It may be a tremendous rarity for you. But if you think about it, it’s better than odd at any of the other New York lottery games.
