Lottery warning to check tickets for unclaimed $2.9m lotto jackpot
Lustig also insists joining a lottery pool, just like Powerball winner Theodorus Struyck is a great way to increase your chances of a win.
Lottery pools allow you to get a sliver of winnings after going in under one ticket with multiple other people.
This makes the initial cost of buying lottery tickets cheaper so you can join in on more chances to win.
However, you will have to split the winnings with all the other people involved.

Struyck, 65, came forward as the winner of the $1.765 billion Powerball jackpot prize on March 15 and achieved his win through a lottery pool.
He was the only person who publicly claimed the prize and it is currently unclear how many people won in the pool.
Struyck is characterized as a devoted family man hailing from a small mountain town with a population of approximately 3,000.
Prior to winning the Powerball, the recent lottery victor had refinanced his home, suggesting he might have faced financial challenges at that time.
Furthermore, there have been instances where scammers have posed as Struyck on social media platforms in an attempt to solicit personal information.
Millions dream of winning the lottery and finding fame and fortune. These are the biggest winners in US lottery history.
Lustig also recommends never using birthdays or anniversaries when choosing lotto numbers.
There can only be so many birthdays or anniversaries variations and he says this lowers your chances.
“If you pick your own numbers and only play birthdays and anniversaries, you’re splitting the pot with 20-40 people,” Lustig said.
“If you spread the numbers out across the whole track, you’ll either be the only winner or will split it with only one or two people.”
