The best strategies for winning the Mega Millions jackpot, according to a Harvard statistician

1 Jan, 2024

Of course, it all depends on luck, but you can still try to increase your chances. Here are the best strategies for doing so.

The Mega Millions latest jackpot has risen to an estimated $1.58 billion — the largest in the game's history.

How to increase your chances of winning? The unsurprising short answer is, buy as many tickets as you can within reason.

That's according to Mark Glickman, a senior lecturer of statistics at Harvard University.

"The best you can really do is just play lots and lots of times and that's the only way you're going to be able to increase your probability," Glickman told CBS News. 

The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are approximately one in 302.5 million

With odds that slim, Glickman said it's best to focus on picking numbers that are completely random. 

That will help ensure you're not making the same picks as someone else
