Could these lotto numbers help you win £1,000,000,000 jackpot?

With the news that a £1,000,000,000 jackpot is coming to the UK, players will be looking for any advantage they can get.

The opening draw for the National Lottery’s Powerball will take place on Thursday UK time.

For £4 per line, Brits will be able to compete against US players to win shared jackpots that can balloon into ten figures – with the winnings paid out over 30 years.

Those playing this week will need to get their numbers in by 11.55pm tomorrow night, and could bag a jackpot of £300 million.

So how do you go about selecting your numbers?

There’s no guaranteed way, of course, but psychic Inbaal Honigman reckons she can help people narrow down their picks using the stars.

Naturally, it all depends on your astrological sign. Here are her thoughts:

Aries and Sagittarius

‘Number 1 suits confident Aries, the first sign of the Zodiac and a big fan of new beginnings.

‘It also fits adventurous Sagittarius, who love to travel and never turn down an opportunity.’

Pisces and Gemini

‘Number 11 could be lucky for sensitive Pisces, the psychic of the Zodiac who strives for illumination.

‘It also works well for Gemini, simply because it looks so much like the zodiac sigil for the sign.’

Leo and Capricorn

‘Number 22 is great for optimistic Leo, who really believes that dreams can come true.

‘It is also ideal for the ambitious Capricorn, the fearless overachiever.’

Scorpio and Pisces

‘Number 18 is a standout number for enigmatic Scorpio, who successfully goes on vibes not facts.

‘It is also fantastic for esoteric Aquarius, as they appreciate global traditions.’

Libra and Virgo

‘Number 26 resonates with the Libra star sign, the balancer, who will meet with triumph and disaster, and treat those two imposters just the same.

‘It is also a lucky number for sensible Virgo, who knows that nothing is ever exactly as it seems.’

Cancer and Taurus

‘Number 10 naturally resonates with family minded Cancer, who feels complete when surrounded by their loved ones.

‘This number also suits Taurus, who enjoy endings so that they can create new beginnings.’

No word from Inbaal on which numbers will actually win, sadly.

Miloš Marković, the editorial director of Live Casinos, also suggests creating a ‘balanced selection’ when considering your numbers, as well as thinking about joining a lottery pool with friends, family or colleagues.

He added: ‘Most importantly, lottery tickets should always be viewed as entertainment rather than a guaranteed way to make money. Set a budget, play responsibly, and only spend what you are comfortable with.’
