What to do when your lottery numbers don't turn out as you expect
/When your lottery numbers go bad and it seems the prize turns out to be less than you expected, here's what to do.
I yelped in disbelief. Even for a hardened lottery numbers man like myself, this was almost too impossible to believe.
For months I had been raking in the winnings from a nicely presented selection of numbers.
They were all a perfect example of how my Silver Lotto System matched the real world.
Then came this batch. Two numbers close together, then 4 numbers close as well. It was almost a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 kind of scenario that happens once a lifetime - if ever.
There's nothing you can do when this happens. I was ready to give up checking my tickets.
But then came a curious thing. When I went along to my store and checked the tickets anyway, I got a real shock.
Two tickets had some of those numbers, and I walked away with $240 in my pocket.
Not much, but better than giving up when I saw those bad combos.
This is the ongoing secret to my System: NEVER Give Up.
And never second-guess the outcome on a bad day. Like my surprise prizes, you often could be surprised most times. And then of course there’s the next game to look forward to.
