Over the last several months we have witnessed several national lotteries’ jackpots skyrocket to near record amounts; one even reaching one billion dollars! This has prompted many to reconsider their lottery purchasing habits.

If you’re thinking about entering a lottery draw, purchasing your tickets online might be wise. According to Illinois Lottery officials, sales surge when jackpots exceed $100 Million dollars, and they anticipate even greater growth as word spreads about their e-commerce capabilities.

A yeekee lotto bet combines 11 individual bets from four selections into one large bet, making for a faster way of placing multiple combinations without each having to be placed separately. While it offers time-saving advantages over placing individual wagers individually, its main downside lies in if two of your selections lose and thus significant portions of the bet will be forfeited.

A betting site is the easiest way to place a yeekee. Choose your site of choice, and once selected simply enter your stake into the Yankee box (e.g. PS1) before clicking place bet – your total stake and potential returns will then be displayed, as will our Yankee bet calculator’s decimal odds that should be used when creating doubles, trebles and fourfold bets.
