To get into the winner circle Jared James, founder of Lotto Edge says when picking your numbers, avoid only calendar dates - like birthdays or anniversaries. "We found that only about 3% of the time will all the numbers fall within a calendar date, so you want to use the entire play slip and spread your numbers out," James said.
James also says whether you choose numbers or let the computer pick them - you have the equal chance of hitting the jackpot.If you're on the ABC7 News app,
