Are you having trouble filling out your tickets from the blank coupons you gathered from the lottery store?

Maybe you brought them home, then tucked them away somewhere in your kitchen drawers. Now they’re forgotten and your winning chances are zero.

So here are 3 tips that outline some problems you might be having completing this quick task. These answers will help you clear your head so you can finally get this easy job finished.

1. You’re Multitasking. You work ten-hour days and still come home to feed the kids, clean your home, get invitations out for your kid’s birthday, study for a new job, prepare for the next day, clean the car... the tasks are endless.

On your computer, you have 5 windows open and flick from one to another to check email, X, and Facebook every few minutes.

TRY THIS: Slow down. Stop. Sit down in a clear space and have only the things you need for the tickets... your coupons and a pen. Do this late at night or early morning so you can have a few minutes of ‘you’ time.

2. You Can’t Focus. After a few minutes, the figures all look the same and you lose enthusiasm. Your brain is fuzzy and you lack energy. So you throw yourself on the couch for a break. The trouble is, you're getting nothing done.

TRY THIS: Have a cup of coffee or tea beforehand. Sneak in a biscuit or cookie. The brain uses sugars to get the energy to think, so this will give it a kickstart, even though it is a short-term solution.

3. You’re Stressed Out. You have work problems, home problems, driving problems, the weather is freezing and you can't stay warm. It can get a bit overwhelming at times, and the world seems a miserable place. This affects your enthusiasm negatively. The problem is - you need to be positive to get started and continue with playing the lottery. How can you change your thought patterns?

TRY THIS: Turn off the news on TV and online. Many of the important events in the world you’ll hear about on the work grapevine. Or if it’s as bad as an earthquake or war, you can bet someone will ring you and share it. Most of the news we see is sensationalized and only serves to depress you.

Once you cut that out of your evening, your mind will be fresh and open to new ideas. That will carry through to everything you do, including filling out your tickets.

Remember - playing the lottery is an exciting game. It’s entertaining fun, and the expectation of winning is always there.

Once your tickets are filled out, your journey is over. You won’t believe how easy it is to play and win from now on.
