A LOTTO expert has revealed why tomorrow’s £20million draw gives you the best chance of winning – and a “lucky” place to play.
Richard Brocklebank, known as The Squirrel, has scooped more than £14million for his lottery syndicates.

He said that £20 Million Must Be Won draws offer better odds than any other National Lottery prize.
If no one wins the £20million jackpot, it will “roll down” and be split into smaller prizes.
The draw’s rules changed in 2020 to give bigger payouts if the Must Be Won prize rolls down – as has happened nine times since.
Richard said: “Once again, this weekend’s £20M Must Be Won Lotto draw on Saturday is the time to be playing – as there is a great chance of wins being enhanced.
“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 £20million rather than the general £2million starting pot, and if nobody lands it with all six main balls, you will get paid extra for any lower win level achieved.
“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.”

A rolled-down two-ball win now pays a fiver, and three balls can can get you between £89 and £128.
Four balls could see you bag between £260 and £330, and five balls between £4,228 and £11,581.
Best of all, players who match five main balls and the bonus ball could scoop as much as £1.38million.
Richard also revealed that Dukinfield near Manchester is the luckiest place in the UK to play the lottery.
The town landed the Millionaire Street prize this week of £55,555 each – after taking a cut of the £3 million Postcode Millions five years ago.
He said: “The exact same postcode won a share of £3 million from a monthly prize – with neighbours Julia Skelhorn, then 46, and Lorna Smith, then 49, both picking up cheques for £305,674.
“This week the same Dukinfield postcode SK16 5AZ made headlines again with people picking up cheques for £55,555 in the Millionaire Street prize.
“I even heard that one punter collected £2,000 in that 2018 draw and topped up with £55,555 this time around.”
