I do think it’s perfectly natural for people to be curious about lotteries, though. It’s a system that you pay in a few dollars and have the potential to win millions. Think about it, where else can you find something that will give you so much for so little effort. Of course, the odds are not in your favor, most of the time, but that’s what makes it exciting. You might lose, but you also MIGHT WIN! Something about human psychology, that’s been written about to death in other books, makes us want to jump for that brass ring. I don’t blame people for that, I’ve been tempted myself honestly.
When people find out what I do for a living, they naturally ask a lot of questions. Of course, everyone wants to know, and they always ask on the sly like it’s going to be just our secret, what the next winning numbers will be. I have to tell them that it doesn’t work like that, and I actually don’t get the numbers in advance. They always say something like “Oh I know that!” but in a slightly disappointed way, as if I’m lying to them. After the initial “How can we win?” questions, people settle down and start asking more intelligent questions, honestly seeking to be informed. Over the years, I’ve written down the best ones and have presented them here along with some other thoughts.
The format of this book is simple, I’ve included a question and answer type portion first. Rather than just list things like you see in most books I decided to change things up a little. You can actually learn a lot about the world of lotteries, and the people that play them, just from a few questions. Then, I will give you my own thoughts on the lottery, winning the lottery, and why people really play (it’s not what you think). At the end, I will even recommend a few decent lottery books that have come out that explain some systems of winning that might work based on my knowledge.
