All games attract some type of speculation simply because all games are practically based on a mathematical formula and subject to the law of probability. Many have spent their lives trying to figure out how to decode the racing tracks, the casino tables and yes, the lottery. Winners have their theories, losers also have theirs. State lottery

Richard Lustig says he has the secret to win the lottery and if you would like to find out, you will have to purchase his book, “Learn How To Increase Your Chances Of Winning The Lottery”, which is now available at the major bookstores. Lustig claims that he has an insight on how to win the lottery and to prove that he shows his record of winnings in 23 years. In the state of Florida, if you have a winning ticket that is worth less than $600, your local merchant can cash it in for you, but if it’s worth more than $600, you have to take it to the lottery office to cash it in. Lustig has been to the Florida Lottery offices 23 times.

Of course it is quite understandable that he is breaking the probability of many because many actually can’t get to win but once in a lifetime, so just figure out 23 times! According to Lustig he has had an amazing record at winning and his biggest win accounts for one of $842,152. Not bad if you take into account that he has had 7 big wins during those 23 years and the last one was of $98,000.

In his book he mentions a few guidelines, some are quite logical if you come to think about it. First he mentions about setting a budget. Yes a budget for lottery so that you will not eventually lose whatever you won on the first place, quite sensible advice, don’t you think?

Second, this is a tip for scratcher games’ fans; do not buy different types of tickets. Let’s say that you plan to buy $100 in scratch-off tickets, the best way to make more for the buck is to buy 10 tickets in a row you that at least you will have one winner in the stack. If you buy different games your chances of at least getting something will diminish, according to Lustig. Lotteries

And third, according to his predicament, quick picks for games like Powerball and Fantasy 5 is the worst strategy ever. “The meat of my method teaches you how to increase your chances of winning,” he said. “You never increase your chances with quick picks.”

That’s Lustig’s version, however since 1999 Florida Lotto stats show out of 364 winning tickets, 201 were quick picks. The reviews of Lustig’s book are not as promising as the euphoria that he spreads by saying that there is actually a way to crack the lottery pot. One thing is for sure he is lucky but also a very intelligent businessman, just think about it the next big thing other than winning the lottery itself is selling “the secret” to all of those who desperately dream of winning the lottery. As for Lustig, there must be a pot of gold waiting for him after the release of his book.
