5 Simple Facts that You Should Know About Winning the Lottery

Do you play the  lottery and dream of hitting its big prize someday? Is it really possible  to win the jackpot or are you just wasting your money, time and effort in this game? I also asked these questions myself a long time ago.

Over the years, I have spent a fair amount of money on the lottery, starting from the very first day the game was opened to the public (where I live). I was a young man then who even chose no to go to work just to make sure that I had enough time to think about what numbers I would choose for my first lotto ticket. I was very excited about it. Finally, anyone could have the chance to become a millionaire.

As the days and years went by, I began searching the internet for various techniques that I could use to increase my chance of determining the next winning lottery numbers. One of these is the use of lotto wheels  which employ number combinations based on a "scientific method".

I also discovered different ways of choosing numbers. These tricks also claimed to be based on some scientific or statistical study.The internet is full of websites that offer information on these methods, some for free and some for a fee. Some years ago, I bought a book from a website because I was convinced of the "proven and scientific method" that the author talks about in his book.Unfortunately, it turned out that the book contained nothing more than just a number of "concentrated lotto wheels" which anyone could search for in the internet and use for free.

There was nothing that I could do to win the jackpot. Yes, I did win some minor prizes every now and then using the methods that I discovered but I soon got tired of playing the game on a regular basis. I was very disappointed with my skills.

I still play the game but only occasionally. I am no longer a very active player like I used to be. What's my advice to other lotto players?

• Do not believe and do not buy  any information from anyone or any website that claims  that you can predict the next winning lottery numbers or that you can win more often using the techniques that you will be offered. It is very unlikely that anyone who knows such tricks would offer them for sale. There are many free information that you can get from the internet without spending your money

• The lotto is not a sure and quick way to make money so find another way. In fact, you could be losing a lot of money when you are always playing the game even without any success.

• Play but do not spend a lot of money. Like I said, you could be losing a lot of money by playing the game. Find a good strategy, stick to it but do not spend a lot of money.

• Do not get addicted to this game. Accept the fact that this is a game of chance and the odds of winning are very low. There are too many possible winning lottery numbers.

• There is no software or computer that can predict the next result so do not waste your time trying to find a program that can help you determine the exact  winning lottery numbers..

 Is it possible to win the lottery jackpot? Yes, I believe it is but I also think that it is very difficult. Playing the lotto is not something that our life and future should depend on. Let us always remember that we may not be able to predict the outcome of any lotto game (or any game of chance for that matter) but we can always live as we should.  As Doc Brown said in the movie Back to the Future "Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one...".
