Before learning the techniques to play Grand Lottery, let’s review the basic rules of Grand Lottery. Grand Lottery is a type of lottery game where players have to choose 6 numbers from 1 to 49. Every Tuesday, two regular number draws and one special number draw take place, and the Taiwan Lottery Bank announces the results every Tuesday and Friday. By purchasing lottery tickets with different play methods, players can win corresponding prizes. The winnings can range from as low as 400 NTD to several billion NTD. The reason for the extravagant billion NTD figure is because the jackpot of Grand Lottery accumulates from the previous period’s prize pool and a fixed formula to determine the “current amount.” This is why Grand Lottery often accumulates billions on television.
Standard Play: Select 6 numbers from 01 to 49 with each ticket costing 50 NTD. During the draw, 6 regular numbers and 1 special number are randomly drawn. If a ticket contains 3 or more numbers from the 6 special draw numbers, it qualifies for the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 7th prize categories, and the corresponding prizes are awarded according to the rules. The prize payout rate for Grand Lottery is 55%. From each 100 NTD ticket, only 55 NTD goes towards the prize pool. The 6th prize is 1,000 NTD, the 5th prize is 400 NTD, and the remaining prizes are distributed as follows: 1st prize (58%), 2nd prize (9%), 3rd prize (9%), 4th prize (5%), and 5th prize (19%).
There are many variations of playing Grand Lottery, such as 2-3-4 Star, Taibei Number, Tian Di Peng, Multiple Non-Hits, etc. How to interpret Taibei Number? Let’s explain it in simple terms. Grand Lottery analysis involves 49 numbers, from 1 to 49. In each draw, 6 regular numbers and 1 special number are drawn. For Taibei Number, 5 numbers are extracted from the 6 regular numbers. For example, in a draw with regular numbers 02, 12, 03, 23, 15, and 26, you arrange them in ascending order: 02, 03, 12, 15, 23, and 26. Then, you combine the last digits of the serial numbers. The combination of 02 and 03 becomes 23, and 03 and 12 become 32, and so on! For instance, if the Taibei Number is composed of repeated numbers like 23, 32, 25, 53, and 36, you calculate the occurrence frequency of winning multiples. It’s a straightforward way to play and easy to learn!
Tip 1: Computer-generated numbers have a higher winning rate than self-selected numbers. According to Taiwan Provincial Lottery statistics, about 70% of winners choose computer-generated numbers, while only 30% go for self-selected numbers. People tend to choose numbers based on birthdays or anniversaries of family and friends. Tip 2: Regularly and consistently purchase lottery tickets. From 2007 until now, statistics from the Taiwan Provincial Lottery show that over 70% of millionaires became rich due to regularly purchasing Taiwan Lottery tickets. Observing their patterns, they used a combination of computer-generated numbers, almost every draw, and set an amount of money aside to buy tickets. The single purchase amount usually ranges from 100 NTD to 500 NTD. Tip 3: “Package Betting” can also increase the chances of winning. By betting on more numbers than the drawn numbers, you increase the likelihood of winning. If you have selected a number, you win regardless of the order it appears.
Because Grand Lottery is a purely probability-based lottery game, unlike traditional lottery games, the initial prizes in Grand Lottery are accumulated over time. Due to this cumulative system, the prize amount can potentially become larger. Given this characteristic, Grand Lottery, seemingly unbreakable, can be defeated using the “Package Betting” method. The core concept of Package Betting is that since Grand Lottery has so many possible combinations, if you purchase more numbers, the chances of winning increase significantly! Therefore, as long as you buy a certain number of bets, it can be considered as “Package Betting.” In addition to Package Betting, some players consistently bet on the same numbers, believing that one day those numbers will be drawn. This skill of consistently betting on the same numbers is called “Card Maintenance.” So, it’s common to see winners on television who have been maintaining the same numbers for several years and finally hit the jackpot. Therefore, you can understand the charm of Card Maintenance. Of course, the skill of Card Maintenance does not conflict with Package Betting. Some people maintain a fixed set of numbers, integrating Package Betting and Card Maintenance techniques, which can effectively increase the probability of winning.
