While the overall Odds of Winning MegaMillions are 1-in-175,711,536 for a single game, the Odds of Winning the Five Main Numbers are just 1-in-3,819,816.
Most MegaMillions Lottery Systems target the 5 main numbers. Here are some examples:You can play all 56 numbers and guarantee Two or More Winning Mega Millions numbers in just 50 games. With 3,819,816 different combinations of 5 numbers from any 56, using 50 games to guarantee two of the winning numbers and leaving Lady Luck to handle just 3 of the 5 is a real smart move.
To move up to 3 Guaranteed Mega Millions numbers requires 1,380 games out of the 3,819,816 different combinations of 5 numbers. This is really not on for anything other than massive jackpots - but with MegaMillions having had a record payout of $390 Million there comes a time when a Group Entry of 50 people paying less than $30 each looks a good bet.
Another option is to play two sets of 28 numbers, covering all 56 main Mega Millions balls. If you make this a 3-from-3 system, then a win of some kind is guaranteed. A 3-from-3 MegaMillions system requires 431 numbers, so 862 games in total for the double entry.
If you do decide to play two 28-game MegaMillions systems, avoid the temptation to put all the odds in one group and all the evens in the other group - 5 winning numbers that are all odd or all even is the result that comes out least often. Use 50 / 50 Odds and Evens in each set of 28.
