Over 32 million play the UK lottery, but only a tiny number of them play correctly.

I came across this interesting snippet of information recently: "Over 32 million people in the UK play the National Lottery each week and buy an average of three tickets each time..."

There's a lot of wisdom in two of these statements for the Silver Lotto System player. Let me tell you why...

"Over 32 million play each week."

That's a lot of people, over half the population of UK.

And in the USA it's estimated that about 178 million play the lottery. All these people contribute towards the giant jackpots and secondary prizes with their ticket money. So that's a good thing.

The downside of all these people playing is that the law of averages will sometimes cause some of them to play the same winning numbers. Then the prize has to be shared.

"...buy an average of 3 tickets each time"

But on the bright side, the percentage of shared prizes is low because they only play an average of three tickets. They don't win much.

Therefore the chance of them beating you to the jackpot is unlikely.

So you really don't have any competition. As long as you stick to the System, you'll do better than 99.9% of the population.
