Dream of Winning The Lottery?

If you're like me and you live in Las Vegas then you have gambled at least one time while you were passing those noisy machines in the casinos. They can be a blessing if you happen to be lucky enough to come out on top that day, but they can ruin you just as easy or even easier.

I witnessed, not too long ago, the most depressing site I have ever laid eyes upon. A man in his 30's sat down next to me at a Wheel of Fortune machine and said these words "Come on baby, I gotta hit it this time. Check don't fail me now" This man put his ENTIRE paycheck that week into that machine and I think he did that because the person who last used it cashed out around $400, I was there for that too.

I on the other hand only put in my usual $20, and I actually came out with $44 profit that night. This poor guy lost $770 in about an hour, note that I was there with only $20 and the machine was good to me, but he was there with a mountain of money and couldn't catch a break. I overheard him saying that he cant wait to win it big and pay off his debt and his alimony and whatnot.

If you are like that guy was then you have a serious problem, money isn't going to rain from the heavens for you, it isn't going to be given to you just like that...you need to work for it. Sure, there are exceptions...people do win at the lottery or when they gamble, but those people are few and far in between. I see more losers on a daily basis than winners. FACT. So the next time you think you can win big by buying $100 worth of scratch tickets at the local 7-11 think again. Save your money and then invest it, make it work for you, make it double, hell even triple in its amount for you.

You don't need to win big at the casinos to get out of debt or to stay above the water with your bills. All you need is a little patience, prudence and a lot of learning.

Things always turn out the way you want them to...all you have to do is believe they will and it will happen. The universe is awesome like that
