In your heart, you know you are going to win a lotto jackpot eventually. Or else why do you buy lottery tickets? Here is some advice for your head and heart while you get ready to win.
Do not make promises you do not intend to keep. It really is easy to tell someone: “If I won the lottery, I would pay off your mortgage” or “When I win the lottery, I will buy you a brand new car” Such statements, even meant as sympathy for another’s plight, can come back to haunt you. You could forget you said it. Yet whenever you do win the lottery, that person to whom you uttered your promise will remember vividly and anticipate to collect their “due” And if you pay off the mortgage or buy that car, reference it does not mean as much if it had not been “expected” or “promised”
Do not trust anyone to hold your lottery tickets ahead of the drawing. When large sums of cash are involved, it is surprising how a long-standing friendship or family tie can become meaningless. Be forewarned: Buy your own lottery tickets — or at least have them in your own safekeeping before the drawing takes place. As being an extra precaution, sign the back of your winning lottery tickets immediately. After the drawing, possession is 99 percent of the law.
Stick to a budget. Don’t play with money you are afraid to lose. Scared money seldom wins. Keep it fun in order that your attitude remains positive. Enjoy it with others by pooling your hard earned money with friends, family or colleagues. Not just is it more enjoyable playing with others, but additionally, it stretches your lotto budget. When you pool your money with others, you may afford to use the larger lotto wheels.
Have your lotto pool sign a Pooling Agreement. Pooling your money with others to talk about in more lottery tickets is a good idea, but do not pool your hard earned money with anyone without having a signed agreement. You could think you are risking only some dollars. But in the event the lottery ticket wins, you have put in danger potential millions.
Do not be afraid to skip a drawing. To further stretch your lotto dollar, play a sizable wheeling system once a month and skip another drawings in between. Or use the cash you could have spent (but didn’t) on some other form of entertainment. If you have a multiple prize win, you can afford to spend more on lottery tickets next time, such as playing two or even more lotto wheels. You could be on a hot streak. When you do not win, stay on a self-imposed budget until you win again. But bear in mind, there is just one thing all lottery jackpot winners have in common: They all bought a lottery ticket!
Keep your lottery tickets safe. Keep your lottery tickets in a safe place and check them right after the drawing. Collect your small prizes (under $600) right away before the expiration date. Most states give you only 30-days to claim small wins from lottery agents. There after, you need to mail them in or visit a claim center.
Save your losing lottery tickets. Save all of your losing lottery tickets while they are tax deductible, dollar for dollar, against your lottery wins. Receipts for other gambling losses can also be deducted against lottery wins. When you win even a second prize, you will be glad to have those deductions at tax time.
Play some low-odds games. If you want to start winning sooner rather than later, invest the greater portion of your lottery budget on the cash-5 game offered in your state. You will win more prizes more often when you play the lower odds pick-5 games. Top prize might be only a hundred thousand dollars or so. Even so, I guarantee that when you win one, you will be very, very happy!
Trust your hunches. Although my strategies are scientific, according to mathematical probability, I am a great believer in playing hunches, too. If you feel strongly about a certain number, play it. Your inner conscious mind becomes stronger and many more accurate when you use it. Even your hunch muscle has to be exercised to work efficiently. It is very important to think of yourself as a lucky person — to think of yourself as a winner.
Practice saying, “No,” before you win the lottery. The most critical word any jackpot winner can learn to say is an emphatic “No!” Many jackpot winners have gone bankrupt because they allowed freeloading friends, family members, neighbors, as well as others to bleed them dry. If you think you do not possess the backbone to harden your heart against endless sad tales of need and greed, then don’t accept your lottery win in a lump sum. Decide on the annuity payout and collect your lottery win in total annual installments.
