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's 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 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 when you do win the lottery, that individual 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, it does not mean as much if it had not been "expected" or "promised"
Do not trust anyone to hold your lottery tickets before the drawing. When large sums of money are involved, it really is surprising how a long-standing friendship or family tie may become meaningless. Be forewarned: Buy your own lottery tickets -- or at least have them in your own safekeeping before the drawing takes place. 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 to ensure that your attitude remains positive. Enjoy it with others by pooling your money with friends, family or colleagues. Not only is it more enjoyable playing with others, but additionally, it stretches your lotto budget. Whenever you pool your money with others, you can afford to use the larger lotto wheels.
Have your lotto pool sign a Pooling Agreement. Pooling your money with others to share 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 should the lottery ticket wins, you've got put in jeopardy potential millions.
Don't be afraid to skip a drawing. To further stretch your lotto dollar, play a big wheeling system once a month and skip the other drawings in between. Or use the money you could have spent (but did not) on some other form of entertainment. Should you have a multiple prize win, you may afford to spend more on lottery tickets next time, such as playing two or maybe more lotto wheels. You could be on a hot streak. Whenever you do not win, stay on a self-imposed budget until you win again. But take into account, 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 immediately after the drawing. Collect your small prizes (under $600) right away ahead of the expiration date. Most states give you only 30-days to claim small wins from lottery agents. After that, you need to mail them in or visit a claim center.
Save your losing lottery tickets. Save all your losing lottery tickets while they are tax deductible, dollar for dollar, against your lottery wins. Receipts for other online gambling (his response) losses can also be deducted against lottery wins. Whenever 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 higher portion of your lottery budget on the cash-5 game offered in your state. You will win more prizes more frequently when you play the bottom odds pick-5 games. Top prize could be only a hundred thousand dollars or so. Nevertheless, I guarantee that when you win one, you will be very, pleased!
Trust your hunches. Although my strategies are scientific, according to mathematical probability, I am a good believer in playing hunches, too. If you feel strongly about the specific number, play it. Your inner conscious mind becomes stronger and more accurate when you use it. Even your hunch muscle must be exercised to work efficiently. It really is quite important to think of yourself as a lucky person -- to think of yourself as a winner.
Practice saying, "No," prior to deciding to win the lottery. The most important 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 do not accept your lottery win in a lump sum. Choose the annuity payout and collect your lottery win in yearly installments.
