Easy come, easy go.
Whether we win $500 million or $1 million, about 70 percent of us lose or spend all our money in five years or less.
Take a second chance.
Always play the second-chance drawings. Some games require you to mail in your losing ticket. Others tell you to go online and
register the ticket�s serial number. People either don�t know about the drawings or don�t take the time to enter, so your odds of winning are always better.
We don't quit while we're ahead.
Do we still play the lottery? Absolutely. And we�re sure we�re going to win again.
You will be exploited�possibly by your friends.
I had one friend who told me this sob story about how behind she was on her local taxes, how they were going to take her house because she couldn�t pay. After she left, I got on my computer, looked up her tax records, and saw that she wasn�t behind. When I printed out that page and sent it to her, well, that was the end of our friendship.
A lot can seem like a little.
If you win $6 million and find yourself in a room full of lottery winners who won $100 million or more, all of a sudden, you feel like the poor one. It�s all relative.
