Our tips

  • Treat lotto as entertainment, never as income.
  • Set a weekly budget and stick to it. Try our simple budget plan.
  • Never borrow money or use bill money to play.
  • Don't chase losses. Every draw is independent (here's why).
  • Understand the real odds: lotto odds explained.
  • Take breaks, and check results once rather than all night.

Warning signs

  • Spending more than planned, more often
  • Hiding play from family
  • Feeling you must win back losses
  • Borrowing or skipping bills to play
