BIG SHARE: A group of 26 current and former Canada Revenue Agency staffers won this $32 million Lotto Max jackpot, getting about $1.2 million each.

Some players think there is a risk of sharing prizes with other Silver Lotto players because they're using the same System.

Well, there is a relatively small chance of that... but quite honestly I've never heard of it happening yet.

However, if you are worried enough to want to take action, there's two little-known ways you can reduce your risk - and still keep your odds of winning high.

Here's what you do:

First, realise that most Silverites (buyers of my systems) don't spend much on each game. Even though the best the best way to increase prizes is to play big numbers, a lot of players simply don't have a budget large enough to play more than 10 tickets a game.

That's not a problem. The in-built advantage of the Silver Lotto System maximises their winning odds anyway without them doing anything more. 

Even when you play a small number of Silver Lotto System lines and tickets, the System will automatically increase your winning odds for you.

So let's assume that many other Silverites play 10 lines of their Profiles, and you do the same.

So you're both using the first 10 lines of each Profile. 

Your answer is to miss the first set of 10 lines and use the next 10 lines for your tickets instead.

Or even the 10 lines after that, or even the last 10 lines of your Profile.

The point is to use the line selections that you think others don't use.

This will further reduce your odds of having the same number selections as everyone else, and eliminates most chances of a double-up.

The other way is easy too.

When you select which day to play your lotto game, play the off-peak games.

This could be a midweek game... say a Tuesday or Wednesday instead of the popular Saturday game.

To find out which days are the least popular, go down to your local lotto store in off-peak times and simply ask them! You'll be surprised what you can find out about the habits of your fellow players.

It works because because the mid-week games are played by fewer players. And if a smaller number of players are involved, the odds for winning and sharing a greater part of the win are dramatically improved for you.

One way to bypass this problem is to use my Winner's Circle. You won't have to worry about selecting, paying for tickets or choosing the day of the week... it's all done for you!
