I grew really frustrated that there was no information available about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI thought there has to be a better way for that. There has got to be information that can be shared with lottery users to help them make better, educated decisions when it comes to playing scratch-offs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>EDUCATION<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>James urged players to educate themselves before they decide to spend money on a ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He recommended that gamblers can study the odds of winning a particular game by looking at state lottery websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each game has a comprehensive breakdown of the prizes available as well as the odds of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>COMPARE THE ODDS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>James said Lotto Edge is designed to inform players before they make a choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The algorithm provides resources for players who are unsure about which ticket to buy, including a complete breakdown of the odds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scratch-off tickets have the overall odds of winning, but these are often found on the back of a ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James claimed that many players don\u2019t see those odds until they\u2019ve bought the ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also said: \u201cThese odds can be skewed if a game is loaded with a bunch of breakeven prizes or free tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis can make the overall odds seem like a really good win but the odds of winning the big prizes might have terrible odds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>HAVE A PLAN<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>James said that it\u2019s vital that those thinking about playing the lottery have a plan before they start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added: \u201cIt sounds kind of funny to have a plan when you\u2019re trying to play the lottery, but luck favors the prepared.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He called on players to stick within their means and warned fans not to get caught up in the excitement of potentially winning a huge prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last month, one gambler, who bought a Mega Millions ticket in Illinois,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-sun.com\/news\/5893620\/mega-millions-jackpot-1-34billion-won-ticketholder-sales-skyrocket\/\">became America\u2019s 3<sup>rd<\/sup>\u00a0biggest ever lottery winner after scooping a whopping $1.34billion.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They managed to beat one in 302.5 million odds by matching six numbers and the golden Mega Ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initial projections put the winnings at $1.28billion, but the Illinois lottery said a rash of sales pushed the total to $1.34billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>STICK WITHIN A BUDGET<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>James called on players to know their limits and not to get carried away when testing their luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said gamblers should just use disposable income, rather than chasing a win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Players across different states can pick up tickets that cost as little as one or two dollars and go up to a maximum of $50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucky Thomas Fotopoulos&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-sun.com\/money\/6057770\/lottery-player-won-million-scratchcard-playing-years\/\">won $1million after buying a 500X The Cash<\/a>&nbsp;ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flalottery.com\/scratch-offsGameDetails?gameNumber=5029\">Florida Lottery<\/a>&nbsp;officials revealed there is a one in 267,000 chance of winning $1million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, James said players shouldn\u2019t go \u201coverboard\u201d and spend big if a big prize is due to be drawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>BE REALISTIC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite launching the algorithm, James admitted that he\u2019s not an avid gambler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, he said that he may buy a scratch-off ticket during a stop when on a road trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said he doesn\u2019t really chase the million-dollar prizes but looks to scoop either $100 or $500 whenever he tests his luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Players may dream about bagging a top prize but James urged gamblers to be realistic about what they could win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He warned: \u201cRealistically, hitting a million dollar prize is much harder as the odds are greater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou should have a plan regarding the prizes that you are after because it differs between those looking for a smaller amount and those that are chasing more than a million dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>SUCCESS NOT GUARANTEED<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lotto Edge sees around 5,000-6,000 daily visitors to its site but James warned that a small number of users think the algorithm guarantees success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said: &#8220;We try to prepare lottery players, informing players about the games that have the best odds but it still takes a lot to find the right store or the single winning ticket at the end of the roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The information we provide players can be compared to someone who does card counting at a blackjack table.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/the-sun.com\/topic\/lotto\/\">Lotto<\/a>&nbsp;experts at&nbsp;<a

players can improve their chances of striking gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts say players should never buy the cheapest scratch-offs, claiming their priced low for a reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They added: \u201cQuality of quantity is very true when it comes to scratch cards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, gambling pros also urged players to pick a game and stick to it as they try to strike the jackpot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, they admitted that winning the lottery ultimately comes down to luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A LOTTERY algorithm founder has
