What most people can't comprehend is the odds probability of winning.
For the Florida Lottery I believe the odds are in the vicinity of 22,000,00 to one. That's twenty two million to one!!! So I always like to say, in order to put this into prospective-pick one number from 1 to 22,000,000 and see if you made the right selection. If you can't do this then you'll be ripping up your ticket. If fact, I believe that most people attempting to beat 100 to 1 odds are probably never going to be successful. Go ahead and play the 100 to 1 odds probability game with someone. Write down a number from 1-100 and don't show the number to the person you are playing along with. Have them pick a number from 1-100 and see if they selected the number you wrote down. This is what you'd have to do to beat 100 to 1 odds. When the game gets to 22,000,000------well you see what I mean. Play the slots or the horses instead. It's much more enjoyable and lot more fun!!!
