Dear Friend,

   Would you like to:

A man from Massachusetts doesn't believe in luck – he believes in logic.

"I read the lottery websites to see what games have the best odds and then I play those games," he says. And it's certainly paid off.

Because the lottery wants you to buy tickets, it tends to make those high paying games seem more attractive, but when you look at the odds, they may not be your best bet.

Instead, he looks to see what the best odds are for that day.

"I'm Still Winning!"

This Florida man might have everyone else beat. By playing the same $10 card for the past seven years, he's won $14.5 million – and he almost didn't know it.

After buying his usual ticket on a Saturday night, he left it in his car over the weekend. When the news was talking about how the winning ticket was sold, but hadn't been claimed, he began to wonder if that might have been his ticket.

"It's luck and strategy that makes winners."

While some winners rely on luck, others try tracking the numbers to see if it will increase their chances.

A man from Pennsylvania believes that plotting the statistics helped, but he also got some help from his weekly $8 that he plays. But he doesn't spend this all at once, instead making sure to spread it out over the week, hoping that this broad approach would help his chances.
