A LOTTO expert has revealed that tomorrow is the best time to win a mega jackpot.
Genius mathematician Richard Brocklebank, who bagged £2.4 million at Cheltenham and £3 million as part of a pub syndicate using his secret tips, has revealed why there’s no time like the present to cash in.

He highlighted the Bank Holiday £20million Must Be Won draw as offering real value.
Richard, 56, used his mysterious method, known as the squirrel formula, to identify the potential for major profit in the Must Be Won draws.
This is because the rules changed in 2020 giving bigger payouts for smaller wins if the jackpots roll down, which seven of the ten Must Be Won draws since have done.
Richard, from Hyde, Cheshire, said: “The weekend’s £20M Must Be Won Lotto draw on Easter Saturday 8th April, is the time to be playing some extra lines, as there is a great chance of wins being enhanced.
“I’ve studied this and believe with a little luck we might just be going to the bank with some profits after the Bank Holiday if all goes to plan.
“Since the rolldown rules were changed in late 2020, there have been ten prior occasions where a special £20M draw has been announced and on seven of those occasions, the £20M jackpot went begging.
“This meant that any two-ball wins paid a fiver as well as a Lucky Dip, and the prizes for a three-ball win, instead of the usual £30, were boosted to levels varying from £89 to £128, so three or four times the standard payout.”
He went on to explain that four-ball wins have gone up from £140 to as much as £330, while a five-ball win could see you bag £11,851 instead of the usual £1,750.

Richard added: “If you’re ever going to have a couple of quid on the Lotto, this is the best time to do it.
“You have a chance of £20M rather than the general £2M starting pot, and if nobody lands it with all six main balls, you will get paid extra for any lower win level achieved.”
In his book, £3 Million In 3 Weeks – The Squirrel Syndicate – A Gambler’s Tale, he includes details on how the Must Be Won lottery advantages players.
The lotto expert wrote: “The higher cost of the £2 lottery ticket, up from the original £1, was another negative at first. But the introduction of extra prizes and the making of more millionaires has made it more appealing, and the rollovers are what rock my boat.
“The biggest bonanza for players though was the rule change that means the jackpot prize money in Must Be Won draws will spill down to other entrants if there is no outright winner, so you don’t need all six balls to get a decent profit.
“The guarantee that a National Lottery Must Be Won draw will pay out all that money rather than rolling it forward again means there is tremendous value to be had.
“On the basis of this mathematics the National Lottery Must Be Won draws are the value in what is generally the bad value world of lotteries.”
