You can't improve your odds of winning (without buying more tickets), but you can improve your expected payout. Numbers from 1 to 31 tend to be picked more because people like to play anniversaries, birthdays, that kind of thing. So numbers above 31 are picked by less people, which means if you do win with those numbers, there is less chance of someone else also holding those numbers.
