The National Lottery in Morocco was established in 1971 and is called the La LoterieNationale in French. Its primary purpose was to regulate the lottery games in the country and also take the responsibility of distributing the prizes amongst the winners. Since then, the company has extended its operations considerably and now offers a wide variety of games including Trio, Keno, Joker, Quarto and Lotto. A huge percentage of the proceeds received from these games are used for supporting numerous charitable courses as well as development initiatives in the field of art, sports, culture and education. One of the most popular games that can be played here is the MarocLoto.
This is basically a number game that follows the 6/49 format (which is more simple to play than the EuroLottery 5/50 + 2/12 matrix) and gives players the opportunity of winning a prize in 5 ways. Moreover, they can take home a prize twice a week, on Saturdays and Wednesdays. Six main numbers are chosen by the players from a total list of 49 numbers per panel and then a bonus number is selected. The jackpot is the top prize in this lottery and in order to win it, the players are required to match the six numbers that are drawn. As far as the prize pool is concerned, it is completely dependent on the number of people participating in the Loto and also the number of players who match the drawn numbers.
One of the most prominent features of MarocLoto, as well as other games offered by the National Lottery in Morocco, is that all the prizes are paid as a lump sum and are not subjected to any taxes. The first thing that you need to know when playing the Maroc Lotto is to find a reliable retailer. The National Lottery in Morocco has designated a number of retailers from where you can participate. Previously, this was the only option you had and it was necessary to find a retailer and then fill out a ticket manually in order to make an entry into the draw.
Now, you also have the option of playing online as there are tons of online lottery agents who are willing to buy tickets on your behalf. Moreover, you can also subscribe to the MarocLoto draws, which means that you will be automatically entered in subsequent draws without having to do anything. When you have chosen your six numbers, the Joker or bonus number will also be generated, which is also part of the draw and works the same way as other numbers. This number is used for determining your prize in different categories.
You need to make sure that your ticket has all the right details i.e. the MarocLoto name, the numbers you have chosen, the draw in which you are participating and a serial number and this all indicates its authenticity. Furthermore, you will need this later on when you have to claim a prize. However, the only way that you will be able to win something is by choosing the numbers right. The lottery is indeed a game of chance and the MarocLoto is no different, but there are some strategies that do come in handy for selecting numbers that have a higher probability of being draw.
Here are some of the things you can do to boost your chances:
- Look at the frequency chart for past draws and then choose your numbers
Thanks to the internet, it has become incredibly easy for people to find information about past draws of various lotto games and this also applies to the Maroc Lotto. You can easily look it up and find the records of numbers that have been drawn previously. Frequency charts indicate what numbers have been drawn more frequently than others and also highlight numbers that are rarely drawn. You can study this information and then come up with a lottery number that falls into the list of numbers that are most likely to be drawn.
- Make use of the delta system
The Delta Lotto method is a way of selecting lottery numbers based on a statistical study of numbers found next to each other. This trick is based on research and has been used for selecting winning numbers in the past, which has boosted its popularity. Therefore, it can also be used for choosing numbers for the MarocLoto. The first step is to select a low number like 1, but it can also be between 1 and 5. Next, you need to select any two numbers between 1 and 8 such as 3 and 5, which makes your selection 1,3 and 5. You can also choose other combinations. Now, you need to opt for a number close to 8, which can be less than or more than 8 such as 9. This makes your sequence 1, 3, 5 and 9.
Then, choose numbers between 8 and 15 that are a couple of numbers away from each other like 11 and 13. This makes your selection 1, 3, 5, 9, 11 and 13. These are your delta numbers and is basically a six-digit sequence of lottery numbers. You need to total the numbers in order to ensure it is not more than 49, which is the highest number allowed in the MarocLoto. Make sure it is not higher than the total or else you will need new numbers. Rearrange the numbers to mix things up. Write down the first number as it is and then add it to the second, the second to the third and so on. You will have the final lottery numbers you should play.
- Select numbers that are significant to you
If you are someone who believes in lucky numbers and have a number or a bunch of numbers that have been good for you, then you can always use them for choosing your lottery numbers. Other people often think of dates that are important to them such as anniversaries, birthdays and other special occasions and use them for selecting the numbers to play in the lotto. Ages can also be used, along with phone numbers and addresses. However, it is best if you mix up the numbers to ensure you don’t repeat numbers and get a diverse number with high chances of winning. Another thing to remember is that you should stick with these numbers for subsequent draws, even if you don’t win the first time as it takes time, but it does work.
- Go with random numbers
It is a fact that in the lotto every number has an equal chance of being drawn. Also, the lottery draws are conducted randomly, which means they don’t follow any specific pattern. Thus, if you also choose your numbers randomly, they just might be the lucky numbers. No matter how hard you try, it is not easy to pick random numbers because you do end up adding a lucky number or one that’s significant to you. Therefore, it is a good idea to allow the machine to select the numbers on your behalf and you just may with the MarocLoto this way. Whether you are playing manually or online, you can easily use a random number generator and be able to get random number combinations to play.
- Mix up odd and even numbers
Lots of people make the mistake of selecting consecutive numbers for their lottery ticket. However, it is extremely rare for consecutive numbers to be drawn in any draw and the same applies to MarocLoto. Due to this, it is best not to waste away your ticket and go down a different route. Instead of going for consecutive numbers, you can mix up odd and even numbers. There are several combinations you can use in this regard. For instance, some people prefer to go with three odd and three even numbers to strike a balance while others may prefer to go with four even and two odd or vice versa.
- Look for cold numbers
Another technique that can come in handy for choosing possible lottery numbers for MarocLotois the option of using cold numbers. These are the ones that haven’t been chosen in a while, which means there is a good chance it is their turn to be drawn. Sure, there is no guarantee that this will happen, but the probability is high. If you are willing, you can take the risk and play these cold numbers and may just take home the biggest prize the game has to ofer to you.
You can decide how you want to pick your numbers and choose them accordingly. Bear in mind that the Marco Loto drawings are held on every Wednesday and Saturday. If you want to enter the draw that’s held on Wednesday, you need to buy your tickets before 8 p.m. on the same day as that is when they close. Any ticket that’s bought after this set time will then be eligible for next draw, which is conducted on Saturday.
As far as the time of the draw is concerned, it is done at 9 p.m. and is broadcasted live on television. A government official also witnesses the draw in order to ensure transparency and fairness. The draw machine, which is used for choosing the numbers, is completely unbiased and simply pops out random balls beginning from the 1st till the 6th as well as the bonus ball. After the balls have been drawn, it is now the participant’s job to find out if their winning numbers have been drawn. Matching all six numbers means that you get to take home the jackpot.
However, if other people have also succeeded in matching the same numbers, the jackpot prize will be split amongst the winners equally. There is also a rollover component included in the draw, which means that if the jackpot is not won in a single draw, the amount will be added to the winning prize of the next draw. The second category prize is awarded to those players who are successful in matching five numbers as well as the bonus. The prize is 90,000 Dirhams. In the case that you only match the five drawn numbers and not the bonus ball, you will win a prize of 6,480 dirhams.
The fourth category prize is given to players who are able to match at least four of the total six numbers that are drawn and the estimated prize for this category is about 97 dirhams. The last prize in the MarocLoto is about 13 dirhams and is paid out to players who only match 3 numbers out of the total numbers that are drawn. When you have confirmed the winning status of your ticket, it is time for you to consider claiming your prize. If you have won the jackpot, you may not want to claim the prize instantly as you need to think things through. The good news is that you have 180 days after the draw before your winnings will be considered forfeit so you can take your time before claiming your money.
Why is this necessary? Lots of lottery winners prefer to take their time because they want to be prepared for when they actually get the money. The sudden influx of money can be very tempting and if you don’t make any plans, you will be tempted to spend it all. There is no shortage of stories of lottery winners who won big, but ended up blowing it all away because they didn’t manage it from the start. Hence, now lottery winners prefer to take some time and get in touch with experts to help them before they actually claim their prize. Also, some want to remain anonymous so they delay taking their prize as much as possible.
Nonetheless, you should ensure you are not too late or you may end up losing the prize altogether. Take your time, but then do follow the rules of the MarocLoto and change your fortunes.
