4 Ways To Improve Your Game

By now your Saturday lotto game will have played.

And if you're like me, you'll shortly be going down to your local lotto outlet to have your tickets checked.

---
TIP: Always get your tickets checked
by machine at your lotto outlet. They
can do it far quicker and more accurately
than you doing it yourself.

But before you do that, I want you to remember the feeling of expectation and excitement you had as you waited for your game to be played.

If you had bought your tickets earlier in the week, you would have had these feelings gradually building up towards the Saturday night game.

Can you remember what that felt like? As you went over in your mind about the win you would have had... the people it would influence and help, the things you would buy... it felt great, didn't it?


The adrenaline buzz you experienced is all part of the fun of playing Lotto. Like Trevour here:

---
Hi Ken,
This week, we won $455.50 in Lottario on the Early Bird
draw. I know it doesn’t sound like much, but it’s more
than we’ve ever won before. Our total winnings over the
last 2 weeks have been $485.50... Thanks, Ken! I’m off
to collect my winnings, and replay my tickets for next
weeks draw.

So when you got your tickets checked, maybe your win wasn't as large as Trevour's.

Don't worry, we all go through rough patches.

Here's how to bounce back so you can be ready and excited for the next set of games:

1- Try to recall your excitement and the expectations
you had before your present win or loss. Visualize
your win and your spending goals again, and make
them vivid, bright and interesting in your mind.

2- Buy your next week's tickets immediately while you're
at your lotto outlet. This will help build up your good
expectations and reduce your feelings of disappointment
far quicker.

3- Share your wins and losses with people around you -
the lotto shop staff, your family and friends. (Don't cry
about it, just say cheerfully: "...only a small win this
week!") Then forget it, and move on. There is a fresh
week starting for you to look forward to.

4- If you had a large win, then it's best to change your
profile numbers
to a fresh set. What is a large win?
Generally, if you win anything over $2000-$5000, you
should change your profiles slightly.


Of course, if you have a good run - or even a series of smaller ones regularly - then email me I will be as delighted as anyone to share in your winnings and excitement.

OK, get moving towards the next exciting game!
