Win Bigger with this Tip:

Do you play Michigan Classic 47? You may win bigger if you include higher-level numbers. Most lottery players play calendar dates—a child’s birthday, an anniversary, etc., so the most frequently selected numbers are 1 through 31. If you win with the most popular numbers, you may be splitting the jackpot with a lot of other winners. Include a few numbers between 32 and 47. You may not increase your odds of winning, but if you do win, you could bag a bigger jackpot.
