Done that? OK, check these answers against yours. There's only one right answer, so give yourself 10 points for each correct one: 

Q1: Good luck is measured by frequency. That means the more you do something, the greater success you will have with it. That means playing lotto often. Imagine trying to throw and hit a stake in the ground with a horseshoe (Silverites will know what I'm talking about here!) If you have only 1 horseshoe and you miss, your chances are zilch - gone forever. However, if you have 50 horseshoes, just imagine how many times increase in 'luck' you would have each time you threw. The more you play, the more you hit! So the answer is (c). Playing twice a week works best, but (b) is correct also if your game only plays once a week.

Q2: The amount you spend also plays a big part in your game win potential. Let's say you're playing poker with your buddies for pennies (For woman - imagine it's whist). After an exhausting 5 hour marathon, you've won the kitty - and it's 150 pennies. You got it just by betting a few pennies per game like everyone else. OK, that's a measly $1.50 you got paid for your skills and time. Now, if that were $1,500,000, wouldn’t the game be more worth it? So raise your stakes and improve your win. Don't bet with pennies! The answer is if you play over $20 per game as in (b) using the Silver Lotto System, you'll get vastly better odds and results. But don't blow your housekeeping - it isn't worth the stress.

Q3: Remember--the more you play, the better the pay! The more tickets you use in each lotto game, the more improved your odds. After reading the past 2 answers, it makes sense doesn’t it? Over 50 tickets (c) is the best answer for everyone. 

Q4: Luck can be learned. And luck can be increased. But luck is actually nothing more than "doing more of everything." Want to increase your chances of finding a car number plate with "7" in the number? Unlucky: Stand at a deserted side road. Less unlucky: drive in a car on the motorway and watch the cars that pass you. Very lucky: Stand at the side of the motorway at peak hour and watch every car that passes. More cars, more luck. Can you see how frequency equals luck? Do more, more, more! (a) is the answer here, because if you believe you're lucky, you'll do more... buy more tickets, play more, to increase it.

Q5: A plan is essential, no question. If you don't have one, it's like driving blindly down every road until you find the route that takes you to your destination. Example: I have a GPS navigation system for my cars. I type in the street number in any country I visit, and it takes me efficiently right to the door without missing a beat. It is my own goal-getter that never fails, because it knows what I want--I typed it in! For years I used guesswork, a hard-to-read map and occasionally asked strangers to find out where to go. Even then I usually failed. Without a certain pathway to get you there, you'll always be lost--or else take a long time to get where you want to go. (a) is the answer... plan how much you will spend, how often you will play, and go for it!

Q6: Business people work on hunches a lot. And many of them are successful because they build upon years of experience to make their decisions correctly. But in lotto, there's no such way. Hunches are useless. You might have 20 years of experience in selecting numbers and still not get a win. You need something that bypasses hunches and intuition, and gets down to the nitty-gritty facts. The only substitute for luck and guesswork you'll ever need is my Silver Lotto System. Answer (c) is correct... don't think any more about it and just play. 

How did you do on that quiz? The first 3 questions are the most important...if you got all of those you're way ahead.

- If you got between 50 and 60, congratulate yourself!
- Did you get 40-50? Hmm, you're doing OK. Room for improvement though.
- Under 30 and none of the first 3 questions? You need to look hard at the way you play the lottery!
