The bad habit people have with lotteries is buying ticket after ticket until it feels right. Don’t be surprised when you realize you’ve spent more than you wanted to, and you’re cross with yourself.
France Euromillions 5/50 on YesPlay can be found under Lucky Numbers. Five balls get drawn out of 50 every Tuesday and Friday and YesPlay shows draws at 18:30 SAST.
Wrong takes
- “More picks makes me safer.” More is always better, but keep in mind that each pick costs you money. Set a budget for yourself and be disciplined enough to stick to it.
- “Odd or even is the safe option.” Just keep in mind that these lotteries are still random and the odds aren’t really that good, even if they may seem like it.
- “I was close last time, so I must push harder.” Just because the last draw had certain results, doesn’t mean the next draw is going to be the same. If you just barely lost, keep your stakes the same.
How it lands
YesPlay has way more features than just “pick five.” There’s something for everyone: from patterns, odd or even counts, lowest and highest balls, divisible numbers, or even an “unlucky numbers” section. You’ll see prices next to each option. One cool thing is that you can choose which numbers you do not want to see and bet that none of them appear in the final result. You can read more on the game page.
Bets to use
The “none of my numbers show” game mode has become extremely popular and quite addictive due to the ability to add more numbers. YesPlay displays it in a ladder-like format, starting around 1.06 for one number and going up to 3.80 for twelve numbers. For example, the four-number option is at 1.47, meaning a R23 bet would pay around R34 if none of those four show up.
Stop on purpose
This should be nothing more than something fun you do twice a week, not a business opportunity. Pick one or two markets that you actually know something about, then set a budget before you do anything and stick to it. If you find yourself thinking about spending more, close the page and come back later.
