Success in almost every endeavor on this planet requires a lot of skill and knowledge. And it often takes a lifetime and a fortune in time or money invested.

But success in winning the lottery requires only persistence and a few dollars a week. It's got to be the best way to make a fortune without effort. All you need to do is...

You eat daily, right? Sometimes 3 times a day or more?

Why do you do it? Were you born that way - or is it socially acceptable?

Neither of those, of course. You eat because you have to... in order to live.

Why can't you play lotto in the same way? What if every game you missed playing was going to affect your health, just like a lack of eating?

Winning a pile of money is easy when you have the right answers!

These regular questions come up from time to time. Here's some answers:

Nobody can guess the numbers to win the lottery - how can you?

This morning I'm about to visit Nell, my mother-in-law, and give her a new phone.

Jacque looked at his wife and grinned. Around them in the small room at the lottery headquarters, officials bustled with the giant check they would present to the winners in the auditorium.

I've made plenty of mistakes. There was the time I shut the door on a visitor thinking she was a sales person.

Only to find out later - via an official letter from one of our government departments - that she was an official on business. Oops.

If you have ever tried to give up smoking, caffeine or chocolate (like me), I bet I know when you've tried to do that.

Because most smokers, chocaholics or coffee addicts always try to make a new beginning at some major cutoff point. It is usually the next Monday, being the start of the week. Or when the packet or can is empty. Or when they discovered they were pregnant.

It somehow seems fitting that a new beginning should start on a new week, an empty container or an important event.

For example, I gave up smoking 37 years ago, and I can tell you the exact date as well. How?
