My mother has been playing the lottery for years. She’s won prizes as big as $1,000, and prizes as small as $2.00 (after spending about $12.00 on lottery tickets).

As of this writing, we here in the United States, especially those of us that play the lottery, recently watched the Mega Millions lottery grow into the third largest jackpot in our country’s history.   As it grew, many of us envisioned ourselves as the ones to hit the jackpot. We went out and did

Okay, so when put this blog post together, I didn’t want you to get the wrong idea. You are not necessarily going to become a millionaire from reading this post.  Again, you ARE NOT necessarily going to become a millionaire from reading this post.  However, research does suggest that some state lottery players historically fair
