Let's just get one thing crystal clear before we go any further. . . The odds of winning either jackpot are enormously stacked against you. I'm not a statistician, but I think you have better odds of getting struck by lightning while riding a shark into a volcano than you do hitting the jackpot. I have not fact checked those numbers.

Let's ignore the fact that none of us will most likely win. Instead you can focus on a few ways that will help improve your odds, even if it's just a little bit.

The best thing you can do to improve your odds is to play the same numbers every single day. Most of us don't have that kind of dedication though, and we only play when the jackpot gets to these massive amounts. If you are among the group of people that waits for bigger jackpots to play, the bad news is that your odds only get worse. The good news is that eventually somebody has to win it, so why not you? Check out a few ways to increase your odds below, and good luck! If you win, just remember who gave you all these good tips!
