LOTTO LUCK I won the lottery 7 times and pocketed $1M – certain numbers can boost your chances of taking home all the winnings

A SERIAL lottery winner revealed that certain numbers can improve your chances of winning after pocketing $1million.

Richard Lustig, a 7-time lotto champ, created his own lottery playing system after several successful attempts to share his insider knowledge.

The author of Learn How to Increase Your Chances of Winning suggests using your lottery winnings to buy additional tickets is a huge key to being a big winner.

Lustig advised against the commonly-used quick-pick method, however.

A key part of his tried and tested strategy is picking your own set of numbers – and sticking to them like a magnet.

In fact, picking a “good number” is essential to lottery success, Lustig told the Jerusalem Post.

He pointed out that although all numbers are technically equal in their odds, it is worth researching which numbers come up the most often.

Lustig said people who pocket even small winnings are “playing the game wrong.”

A $10 win should be followed by an $11 dollar play, because “if you lose, you only lost a $1,” he told ABC in 2010.

This is the method Lustig used to win a 98,000 prize in Florida’s Fantasy 5 game.

He also won $842,000 in 2002, the biggest prize in his jackpot-winning career, Lottery Critic says.

Before honing lottery strategy as a craft, Lustig was in debt.

Lustig said simply do not spend more than you can afford.

The lottery turned his financial situation around after his first big win, which covered the costs of his son’s birth.

ABC reported that he bought a $350,000 house that boasted its own customized library.

To get around, Lustig used his $25,000 Harley Davidson, and $80,000 Jaguar.

Though he passed away in 2018, Lustig’s book remains popular and continues to guide lotto players. He cautioned those who want to strike big to stay away from quickpicks, and research a set of numbers with high odds
