You've won the lottery. Great!
Your heart has stopped pounding, your pulse has steadied. You look again and yet again at the ticket in your shaky hands, daring to acknowledge your good fortune.
But don't get too complacent. You may have won the big prize, but it's Saturday night - and you can't get into the lottery headquarters to present your ticket until Monday. You have a problem. The security of your ticket is the first priority. You can't put it into a safe deposit box because the banks are closed. You don't trust it in your wallet, and that flimsy safe in your bedroom is the first place anyone would look if they knew you had a winning ticket.
How do you keep this fragile piece of paper absolutely secure for the next 36 hours?
This kind of scenario goes through the minds of many winners. Some believe they will be able to keep it safe by taping the ticket to their chest and sleeping with it under their pillow. Others will put the ticket in the fridge, thinking this will be the last place a burglar would look. (Wrong - skilled burglars are far more savvy than you realize!)
There are many other questions about tickets besides security that winners need to worry about. Here are the top 5 problems, along with some solutions...
1. Your ticket is stolen. What can you do?
You should protect your ticket first by signing it with your name and address. According to the Washington lottery website, a lottery ticket has the same authority as currency. A ticket is a 'bearer instrument' which means the person holding the ticket is also the owner. So when you sign the back of your lotto ticket, that act will make the ticket yours officially, because only the bearer whose name matches the signature on the ticket can claim its winnings.
2. You got your ticket as a gift. Who gets the money?
You do. But often when a winning lotto ticket is given as a gift, there can be problems if the giver receives nothing back. Since the prize is seen as 'found' money - money that cost little to obtain - there may be resentment that the gift ticket giver didn't receive any part of the winnings. The answer is simple. Why not split it with the giver? Even a 90/10 split will go a long way to keeping the friendship.
3. Can your family make a claim on the prize?
Generally no. But if you worry about your family claiming a portion of the prize, then why not split the money up equally among all the family? There is no better way to unite a group of people than to include them in your good fortune.
4. So you missed the winnings claim expiry date. Can you get an extension?
Few lotteries will extend a deadline. The best way to avoid this is to make a regular trip to your lotto store within a few days after each game, and have them put the tickets through their counter machine. You get added security this way by knowing there won't be any mistakes in the numbers either.
5. What happens if you lose your ticket?
You will lose your money, because in order to claim your prize you must present your winning ticket intact. Without your ticket, there is no proof of ownership, and this means you won't be able to collect your winnings. So your first and essential step is to sign your ticket when you buy - in case it ends up in someone else's hands. By signing your name and address, it acts as strong security against someone else trying to claim your prize if your ticket is lost or stolen. So the news is bad - usually your money is gone for good unless you have the physical ticket. Even a photocopy is unlikely to get accepted by the lottery organization. You've got to keep it safe.

How to Win the Lottery - When is the Best Time to Start Playing to Win?
Many people like a routine. They very rarely act on a whim, but have set times for doing tasks. And it also applies to any major changes they make in life. For example, giving up smoking or losing weight seems to bring out a peculiar attitude in most people.
They want to do it, but they want to work it into their own pattern. So they're often set up for a period of rejection and failure. Want to know what stops them succeeding? It's very simple...
They always say they'll start on Monday.
It doesn't matter what day of the week it is at the moment. Many people will start a new project, change of habit or lifestyle on Monday. Sometimes it'll be a new year project, but mostly it's a defining start of the week date.
When they play lotto, it's often the same thing. They know the futility of playing with a quick pick computer number selection from the lottery store. They agree that a good system will do more for them. But they are reluctant to take the step and make the change.
It's the Monday thing all over again. And months or years later, after they see hundreds or thousands of winners achieving their goals they wonder how they got left so far behind.
Life and opportunity is short. You need to start right now... not on Monday, not in the new year, but right now.
So how do you get off your comfortable seat and take the action you need?
One of the best ways is to visualize your outcome. If you're going to play a high stake game with many millions of dollars in the jackpot, it's easy to imagine how you could spend it. Make a list. Fill out everything you've ever dreamed of. Imagine doing and possessing all the things on your list.

How to Win the Lottery - Climbing the Lottery Strategy Ladder For Low Risk Winnings
I retired from ladder climbing yesterday. Over the past week I had been painting some of my house, and it's a three story place. So I used my trusty Little Giant ladder to get to some high parts.
I enjoy doing this kind of work myself. My lottery income - using my skill in picking winning lottery numbers - means I have time to myself and can spend it as I wish.
So a little exercise and sunshine, doing what I want, is just fine.
But I got thinking. Friend of mine fell off a ladder a couple of days ago. It was just 3 meters (10 feet), but he broke his arm badly. He will need 6 month's therapy at least, and his life will be severely restricted.
No driving, writing or table tennis.
The accident rate for Do-It-Yourselfer's around the world is very high indeed. I have two other friends who have fallen from high places and permanently damaged themselves. They need to win lottery prizes to help with their health problems.
I knew I was toying with danger every time I climbed that ladder. A strong gust of wind, an insect distraction, and my days as a writer could be over.
Now, I'm not accident-prone. In fact, I can hardly remember any time when I have fallen accidentally in my lifetime - just once on a motorcycle, out of 20 years of riding - and not much else.
So today I decided to hire some professional painters. I'm giving up the risk and letting someone else manage it for me.
Winning the lotto game is the same. Even though the stakes are low each time - maybe just $10 or $20 a game for some - it is still a risk. You play against extreme odds.
So, like the house painting, it makes sense to employ a professional system to take the risk from you - to use an effective lottery strategy to improve your chances of winning lottery.
So many of us try to save money by doing the risky tasks ourselves. But you get better results employing professionals. Find a good system today and use it instead of your lotto quick pick or birthday number choices.

The 5 Word Lottery Strategy - An Amazingly Simple Way to Win Lottery Games Without Fail
Here's a simple success tip you can use to increase your chances of winning lottery games anywhere in the world. Although it's a lottery strategy, you can use it for many other parts of your life too. Watch your success rate at home or work explode when you use it.
Use this tip today on how to win the lottery - and you can even apply it to help you lose weight.
It can be summed up in a simple 5-word sentence: "To get more, do more."
These five words can be applied to anything and everything:
• To learn more, work more.
• To buy more, spend more.
• To learn more, read more.
• To travel further, drive more.
• To get fatter, eat more.
But I've deliberately left out the one topic this article is talking about - the most important lottery strategy - until last...
"To win more, play more."
There's really only two ways you can increase your chances of winning lottery games, and they both follow the 5 word rule.
The first is to buy and play more tickets. The second is to play more games.
You can increase the number of tickets you play, and the number of games, but to get the real benefit of doing more, you must play intelligently. That means using a winning lottery system and forgetting about quick picks or choosing your numbers through numerology, astrology, birthdates, or even playing at a 'lucky' lotto store (there's no such thing).
What about losing weight? Researchers found that over the last decade Americans have been getting 25% more fatter. They found that hamburger serving sizes have gone up by 25% over that time also.
So there's a direct link between weight and the amount you eat, as well as the number of tickets and games you use for winning the lotto. Worth thinking about?

2 Biggest Mistakes Most Lottery Players Make
Many lottery players make 2 big mistakes when they trying to win:
PROBLEM #1
A player is looking for quality results; it means that they are mainly looking for a top method that can help them to hit the biggest jackpot with the smallest effort.
Nothing wrong with that but the reality is trying to achieve the top jackpot in any lottery is relatively an impossible task. You're all trying to guess the same number and only a few make the right ones.
So not only do these players have a huge amount of competition, but the likelihood of getting the right win combination in a very short time is almost impossible. That's why good lottery programs never promise you the jackpot.
So forget quality... Go for quantity instead. The more tickets you can use in combination with an effective system, the better your results.
PROBLEM #2
The second problem is where players change their strategy, tactics and even systems to often when they don't get a result.
We know that persistence and repeating play, it’s the best strategy in the long run. While everyone else has given up after a month or two, the real winners are keep persistently to play on, and they get astonishing results.
The answer to the second problem is to stay on track and persistent... when you have established your method, don’t change your system. Keep playing until you eventually hit the jackpot.

Here's Your Lucky Numbers
Nice guy lives a few houses down in my private street.
Has a Porsche and a Lexus in his 3-car garage.
Must be earning some serious dough.
So how did he get it?
I'll tell you in a minute.
But to give you a clue, one of his cars carries a personalized plate with the numbers "888" on it. And he's Asian.
Mmm.
The Chinese are one of the luckiest nations on earth, aren't they? And their love of numbers often mean good fortune for them. Here's a selection of numbers and their meanings:
1 — sure
2 — easy
3 — live
6 — easy and smooth, all the way.
8 — sudden fortune, prosperity
And according to Wikipedia, some lucky Oriental number combinations include:
99 — doubly long in time, hence eternal; used in the name of a popular Chinese-American supermarket chain, 99 Ranch Market.
168 — road of prosperity or to be prosperous together — many premium-pay telephone numbers in China China
518 — I will prosper, other variations include: 5189 (I will prosper for a long time), 516289 (I will get on a long, smooth prosperous road) and 5918 (I will soon prosper)
814 — Similar to 168, this means "I will be wealthy my entire life". 148 also implies the same meaning.
888 — Three times the prosperity.
1314 — whole lifetime, existence.
Do you believe all this?
Nor do I.
Let me tell you all the 'lucky numbers' above mean nothing. They are a primitive form of control when we don't have anything else to fall back on. It's as hokum as a newspaper horoscope.
OK, here's the truth of the matter...
Did you spot the 888 above? The number of my lucky neighbor?
Did he get his wealth through luck?
Nope.
He's a dentist.
We all know dentists make a lot of money without much problem, even in recessionary times.
That's the real answer.
So I don't understand why he needs a lucky number combination when these are proven not to work. But hey, sometimes believing blindly in a lucky number is better than nothing.
Maybe believing in the supernatural power of numbers gives him the confidence he wouldn't otherwise have.
Who knows.
But nothing can alter the fact that the laws of chance do NOT favor one number over another. There is no way luck can influence the way you choose numbers for your lottery game.
My system doesn't work on lucky numbers either. Instead, it is a carefully selected and crafted method that is guaranteed to work.
Don't be like my neighbor.Click Here!
Choose a Lotto Winning System
How many people round the world play the Lotto? Can you guess?
Let's take the USA, with a current population of 300 million. A recent survey showed that when the jackpot games are high, as many as 87% of the adult population take a ticket. That's up to 261 million who play! That is a lot of people who are playing lotto against you, and so you need some advantage.
Fortunately most of them have no idea how to select a ticket. They don't use a system... they pick numbers according to the weather, their birth dates, children's ages, on the diagonal of the ticket and more ways you simply wouldn't believe. But their sheer mass gives them a competitive edge. That's why it's important to use a successful Lotto system to get a real head start... to get ahead of the crowd.
So if you really want to get ahead of the competition in lotto, how do you choose the best system? The answer is simple.
Find testimonials;
Proof of winning is the most powerful form of recommendation, and a good Lotto system will have many.
And they don't have to be giant wins. In fact the probability of Lotto players winning numerous high jackpots is statistically unlikely. So a website that has a large number of multimillion dollar winners should be suspect, and you need to check it out more thoroughly.
Ideally you will see a large number of testimonials from winners - from several hundred thousand dollars down to a few hundred dollars. And a good Lotto system should be able to keep producing multiple wins.
Don't worry about guarantees. No Lotto system will be able to guarantee you wins of any size or frequency. Make sure the testimonials are there, and get started!
