Lotteries, scratchcards and bingo
What is the best way to avoid sharing a lottery jackpot?
Direct answer
Picking less popular combinations may reduce the chance of sharing if you win, but it does not increase the chance of winning at all.
How to use this answer
This answer is based on the mathematical principle or published rule identified in the source below. If the question involves a live betting market, confirm its settlement definition before applying it to a specific bet.
Use the published game matrix and prize rules for the exact lottery or scratchcard. Identical tickets, rollover jackpots and claimed win patterns should be assessed using probabilities rather than intuition.
