Would You Go Back To Work After Winning Lotto?






In this morning's newspaper was a story about a couple of $66 million winners.

I nearly tore my hair out when I read it.

Because how this middle-aged couple reacted is typical of many large lottery winners when they get the good news.

They are in shock. Disoriented. Confused.

All reason leaves them.

All their normal boundaries are shaken to the core by the vast change in their finances.

Think - never again will they have to owe money to a single soul. They can pay for anything they want.

They can walk down the street, point at almost anything at random... cars, buildings, furniture... and mutter happily to themselves: "I could buy that, right now!"

So what this couple did that annoyed me is quite common... it's a well-known trait recognized by lottery officials who see it all the time.

But I still can't figure out why so many of them do it.

It's this...

They decided to go back to work straight after collecting their check.

And I wonder what on earth drove them to continue their life of drudgery even for a single day longer.

I'd understand if they had obligations at work... if they managed a large number of people who depended on them. I'd stay around too, and hand over to my deputy. You can't let people down if you have any common decency.

But many winners have jobs where they won't be missed, except maybe by their co-worker friends. And you can always meet them after work, or shout them on an island holiday with you!

Tell me someone you know who loves their work and can't wait to get into the factory/office every morning.

I doubt whether you'd find anyone like that in a hurry.

When I was employed many years ago (and never again!) - even 5 minute's notice would have been too long. See ya!

Would you go back to work tomorrow?

If you said yes, think about why you are playing lotto. Isn't it to escape the cruddy life you have now? The life where you have no control over what you do and where you go?

Most winners throw in their job and go for the good life straight away.

So would I.

I hope you will too.

The weekend's coming up. Would you like to stay at home on Monday?









Happy Winning!

I Quit!





It was 6am on a cold, bleak Tuesday. The sun was struggling to climb above the dark clouds, and the sky was bathed in an eerie orange hue. Rain was on the way. As I dressed quietly so as not to waken my sleeping partner, I wondered how I was going to explain about taking yesterday off to my boss.

Would he understand what I had been through? How would he react? I knew he didn't like me because I was a renegade - I made no secret of hating my menial assembly job on the factory floor. So there was the possibility of anger and rage. I might even get dismissed. 

But strangely enough I was calm. I simply didn't care what might happen this morning. And I was surprised at myself for thinking this, because for the past 12 years I had lived in daily fear of being laid off, or told off.

I greeted the bus driver with a cheery smile and he smiled back. A good sign. As I glanced at the passengers, sour and grim in the gray morning light, I wondered if any of them knew what was going on in my life right now.

Ray greeted me at the locker. "Where were you yesterday?" he said as we slipped on our overalls. "I can't remember when you were ever late or missed a day." He curled his lip in an unmistakable imitation of my boss and put on his best mock bullying voice: "Report to my office immediately!" We laughed, it was so perfect.

"Ray," I said, "there's something I want you to do for me right now."

I entered the factory floor and went to my station. There were the tools, all neatly lined up as I had left them on Friday afternoon. I did a quick inspection and checked they were all there, then took a deep breath. Now was the time.

But before I could turn to leave, the foreman approached me from around the next booth. "Mr Winzer wants to see you in his office right now," he barked, then hurried off. I climbed the steps to the office high above the factory floor. As I shut the reception door behind me, the sound of the factory sank to a hum. I waited in the hard backed chair. I could see my boss through the glass window, talking and gesturing to someone across his desk. Then the door opened and the visitor left.

"Come on in, quickly now," ordered my boss and went back behind his desk. "Close the door." I took a deep breath as I stood in front of his desk. It was just like my schooldays when I had to see the headmaster. I was reverting to type all that time ago, but swallowed my nervousness. This interview would be different to any other I had ever experienced.

"Yes?" he said without looking up, busily flipping through his papers. Hang on, I thought. It was him wanting to see me. But that didn't matter any longer. No more games. In a strong voice I said, "I quit."

He looked up, unsurprised. "When?" he asked. I was caught off guard... I hadn't expected acceptance quite so quickly. "Right now," I replied.

"No, everyone knows you can't do that," he said gruffly. "There's your superannuation term requirement which means you have to give a month's notice. And the union needs signing..." But I interrupted him with my hand and immediately he stopped talking: "I want to quit right now, and I don't care about any of that. I'm leaving right this minute."

His mouth dropped open. A feeling of power swept over me. He dropped back in his chair and looked at me quizzically in surprise. I went on to explain:

"I won the lottery in the weekend. I got over $35 milllion dollars cash which I collected in a ceremony at the lottery headquarters up state yesterday." As I talked I could feel the excitement coming back as I relived that adrenalin-producing day... the signing, the giant check I had to hold up for the press, the interviews. "That's why I didn't turn up yesterday, and in the excitement I'm sorry I forgot to tell anyone about it."

Now his face was a picture of astonishment as he took it all in. I continued, "All my tools are accounted for. My co-assembler Raymond White has checked and signed them off." He was speechless as I finished lamely, "Hope you can fill my place." Then I turned on my heel and left the office, to complete silence. 

As a final parting move I left his door open, and smiled faintly to myself as I did it.

Down on the factory floor people were coming up to me with smiles of congratulations, shaking my hand, patting me on the back. The word had spread, and for a few short minutes I was center stage as I collected my gear from my locker. Then the room was quiet and I was alone, just me and my locker. I stared at the empty metal shelves which had been so much a part of my daily toil this last decade and more. And I knew I would never see them again.

There was very little I regretted as I walked along the yellow lines leading to the main exit. I would miss my friends, but I would still see them outside of work. And I knew in a few short weeks we would have a happy little gathering as I revealed the plan for their trip. I smiled with excitement as I thought about it. Little did they know I had arranged a group tour for them to a Caribbean island for a week when they finished for the holidays. Paid for by me.

Outside my partner was waiting in the rental car we had ordered for the occasion. And as I left the grimy factory gates, I kept looking straight ahead, never looking back. I was free. My new life was about to begin, and I didn't know what might be in store for us.

All I knew, was that it was going to be good...very, VERY good.







Happy Winning!

Andrew & Gerald's Lottery Time Secret






It's morning. Andrew yawns, stretches, and rolls out of bed. 

"I might buy some lottery tickets today," he decides.

It's a bright Saturday morning as he saunters down to the lotto store, and exchanges pleasantries with the girl behind the counter while his tickets spew out from the machine.

Later that night his numbers roll down the chute from the lottery barrel. 

And Andrew discovers he is a millionaire many times over.

His life has changed forever. Nothing is out of reach. 

He is secure for the next 30 years and more.

At 65, Gerald has worked for the same company for the last 30 years. This afternoon he is being presented with a retirement gift from his boss, a man who owns a large yacht that Gerald has seen many times from the dock on his Sunday drives to the harbor.

The boss smiles. "It is my pleasure Gerald..." he says, handing across a small box elaborately tied up with expensive wrapping, "...to present you with this appreciation from our company for all the valuable work you have done over your 30 years here with us."

The small group around him applaud as Gerald opens the box. 

It is a gold watch. He recognizes the brand and knows it cost about $100, and the gold is plated, not solid. 

That - plus the retirement allowance, Gerald realizes - is all he has to show for nearly half his life of struggle and toil.

Two entirely different scenarios... 30 years of toil - or a few minutes to achieve lifelong bliss for the next 30 years.

Easy to choose between them...

There is no other form of investment that will produce so much return, in so little time, as a major lottery prize.

And the most effective way to get that is by using time leverage. 

The Silver Lotto PRO System (http://www.silverlottopro.com) does this quickest... it allows you to shortcut many years of experimenting, because the testing has been done for you. 

And my systems can bring amazing results almost instantly, as Robert Welan emailed me about this $281,183,09 winnings:

Dear Ken, 
I'm writing to advise you that my aunt and uncle won a major prize in our Tattslotto on Saturday night... When I talked to them yesterday my auntie says she bought your silver lotto system last week and this was the first one they had entered using it... Details: 1 of 10 winners in TattsLotto Draw 2117: Won $281,183,09 share...
Robert Welan.
 
My advice to 'gold watch' Gerald, and you, is the same - don't waste 30 years... 

Get started now...







Happy Winning!
Ken Silver

P.S. The Silver Lotto PRO System isn't about a one-hit success. It will keep working for you constantly, as John writes: Hi Ken, I bought your system about two years ago, and I have been a constant winner since. To date I have won $33,675.00! My last win was this past Wednesday 
when I knocked off another $1,370.00! J.M.R. (name and email supplied)

11 Practical Examples Of The Freedom That Lotto Brings







Sometimes I need to remind myself of the advantages of the freedom that money brings. It's easy to take for granted, but doing without it is a very hard road indeed.

As Mae West, the famous film star is reported to have said, "Honey, I've been rich and I've been poor. Believe me, rich is better."

Here's a small list of the ways I benefit from financial freedom - and why you should take every humanly possible step to win your next lotto game with my Silver Lotto System and join me:

Convenience: My mother-in-law, a gracious lady of 94 broke her glasses a couple of days ago. I was able to pop across to her town about 20 minutes drive away, get her out into the big wide world, and have her glasses fixed on the spot.

Family: I have a regular weekly lunch date with one of my daughters who works in the city. If her work hours or an appointment date changes, I'm flexible enough to pick her up whenever the time suits her.

Fixin': When tradesmen call, I'm always home. I never have to take time off to wait for them. And we all know how reliable some trades people are!

Queues: It's been years since I had to stand in one. I always shop off-peak or have my groceries delivered, and rarely have to wait in any line for more than a minute or two. The freedom of acting only when YOU want to is the secret.

Weather: If it's raining I can choose to stay indoors. Gone are the days when I had to trudge in all sorts of weather to get to work.

Hours: The days of someone telling me when to get to work, when to take a break, when to meet appointments, when to go home... are over for good. Enough said.

Sunrises: Sometimes the sun rising or setting over our harbor presents a picture that is breathtaking. One day it can be a rich red sky above a glassy sea, and the effect would make an artist weep. I can watch it for as long as I need to, without worrying about work.

Wallet: Lately I've taken to carrying about $1,000 in cash in my wallet. Accessible cash gives you immeasurable mental freedom - even in this day of credit. And if it got stolen I wouldn't worry unduly. It's a far cry from the early days when I got shortchanged at a store by $20, and it affected my whole week - my budget was that tight. That's many years ago, thank goodness.

Money: Like most entrepreneurs I dislike accounting and the picky financial details involved in managing a business. But I need to be hands-on to make sure I know where my business is heading and where it's been. It's essential to know, but time consuming. To save money, up to a few years ago I filed all my tax returns myself. Yuck. It was a thankless chore that took days and sometimes weeks each year to achieve. Then I saw the light... I handed it all over to an excellent accounting firm. I now have no worries, and all my time is spent doing things I want instead of tax returns. This morning a package arrived on my doorstep from my obliging and friendly accounting firm. It contained all my year's activity and account information set out in a nice package, easy to read. Best of all everything was 100% accurate for the taxman, and the price was a measly amount that I could make back in a couple hour's work. Why I took so long to realize this I'll never know. But that's what money does for you.

ROI: I mentioned Return On Investment in yesterday's newsletter and post here, and I need to emphasize it again. Assuming you win a large lotto prize of $20,000 up, even if you have spent $50 a week for a year, you will not get a bigger or faster return on your money. Not property, not stocks and shares, not business will better it. $50 a week is $2,600 - a lot, for sure. But if you get $200,000, or even $50,000 back, it's only a tiny part of the purchase price. And of course you don't pay it all at once... it's dribbled out over the year.

Don't ever disregard the power of the lottery to make you exceedingly rich and give you undreamed of freedom... far more than the 11 examples I give you here in my life.







Happy Winning!
Ken Silver

P.S. I was watching a TV program last night on dream homes. And one large contemporary home had 2 active children and white interior walls throughout. Gulp. Bad combo! So how did they keep them clean? The answer was simple... the owner had them all painted EVERY year! Wouldn't YOU enjoy that kind of freedom?

Before You Quit Your Stinkin' Job...







Your job sucks, right?

I'm safe in saying this because I know very few people who are truly happy in their job.

- They have unreasonable bosses.
- They are forced to work at the company's times.
- The pay is never enough.

That's why lotto is such a great incentivizer... who wouldn't like to ditch their mundane existence for a life of ease and leisure?

So while you're waiting for lotto and my Silver Lotto System to change your life, here's some suggestions to start with...

You should start a home-based, part-time business for some extra income. Then ideally you should build up this business until it matches or exceeds the money you receive from your job. After that you can go full-time (but don't risk it to you know for sure that your business is solid).

But what kind of business?

The world is a big place, and it's tempting to think that there are millions of opportunities out there. But there are not. I've looked at many, and I believe there's only two or three methods that are low-risk enough:

1. Multi Level Marketing (MLM).
Some people think of Amway when they hear about multi-level or network marketing. But there are countless other companies. Just google the term "mlm" and see what comes up. The advantage of MLM is that there is no product to buy, and all the accounting is done for you by the company you're with. You just have to spread the word.

2. Affiliate Marketing.
Another easy and risk-free way to beat your wage-slave existence. The Silver Lotto System is the best product to sell because the potential sales from billions of Lotto players who play each week are enormous. All you have to do - if you've already bought any of my products - is to contact me through www.silverlotto.com/support.htm. Ask about becoming an affiliate and I'll get you started.

3. An Online Business.
There are countless opportunities to make a good living with tiny overheads (business costs) with the internet. In the last 10 years it has created the most remarkable wealth makers in living history. However, while there are many opportunities available (don't even think of searching "home business" - there are 242 million pages out there) - few make the grade.

One of the best I've come across is the second book from the Rich Jerk. As I mentioned last week in this newsletter, he claims that:

-You don't need to create or maintain a website of your own.
-You won't deal with customers or follow up on leads.
-You don't have to create your own products or services.
-You don't need to stock any inventory.
-You don't have to take or ship orders.

You can get it here: http://www.kensilver.com/jerk.htm

One of the biggest advantage in having a home-based profitable business like this is the tax advantage. In many cases you can claim a portion of costs from your telephone, rent, utilities, computer, software upgrading... in fact, anything to do with running a business - even while you work for someone else.

It's the reason "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" author Robert Kiyosaki has swept the world with his philosophy. A home-based online business is tremendously rewarding.

Stop Living Frugally! 7 Essential Riches Tips






What I'm about to say here is totally opposite to everything you've been told to believe when it comes to getting money.

My views and action steps here will get some folk hopping mad.

I don't care.

Because you need to realize we are all being manipulated to achieve less than we're really worth.

And once you see how that's happening, you can change dramatically.

Even in these negative times of housing and gas price stress, you can change your life around 180 degrees in an instant, and live happy. A rich mind is just a mindset, and I'm going to tell you what I do to rise above your current problems.

I started thinking about this when I recently came across one of many websites that seeks to pull me down to the dull level of the unthinking masses... people who are unable to think for themselves and who use the popular media to do their thinking for them.

I got mad.

Because success in any field is not made by the average Joe doing average stuff. It is made by the contrarian thinker who takes action, who ignores the media viewpoint to become wealthy beyond the rest of their neighborhood.

Could you change your mindset and realize your true worth?

I have done it, and I'll tell you how.

Sometimes it takes a little motivation like completely ignoring people who suggest you can save a penny here and a cent there by buying soap powder in bulk. Who also say you can become a millionaire by wasting your life putting 10% away in a compounding account and waiting 30 years.

What! I can't wait 30 minutes for my wealth. I could die any minute. All those years wasted for nothing!

I'm sick and tired of people trying to make us scrape by on a penny... to convert us to poverty thinking. Here’s some of their twisted thinking:

- Stop buying cars, they say, it will drive you broke with depreciation and running costs. As for expensive cars, they aren't necessary, you only need to get from A to B, right? Wrong! People treat you differently when you drive a quality car (Notice I said 'quality'. It doesn't need to be expensive, for now. Even a 20 year-old Mercedes in nice condition will do). A quality ride is a magical experience. Ask anyone who has ridden in a Rolls Royce. Why should you settle for less! People with low self-esteem can drive anything. Notice they also dress poorly and have worn out shoes. Owning a good car is essential to boosting your well being. A car liberates you, and defines you. Taking a train or bus will just keep you grounded in poverty thinking.

- You only need a 1,000 sq ft home, they say, and wow - look what you save on maintenance and taxes. Wrong! I gladly pay a small fortune for my upkeep because I'm enjoying every minute of it. I happily make the financial sacrifice. Know what defines the rich from the poor, apart from money? Space. The more you have, the better you live.

- The best things in life are free, the saying goes. Nope. Do your family really want to visit you in your rundown slum in a swamp on the edge of a nuclear plant development? Wouldn't they prefer to play tennis on your double area courts, take a hike round your 200 acre wooded back yard, swim in your Olympic size pool? You bet. Your family will still love you for free, rich or poor. So why not aim for rich?

Are you proud of having the biggest pile of grocery vouchers in your street? Are you overjoyed when you score a bonus point on your loyalty card? Do you forage the local tip for stuff you can use in your own home to save buying it?

Get real.

Free stuff is good for meeting low expectations. Penny-pinching depresses you and keeps you at a low level of achievement.

When you're on the breadline, everything looks like bread. When you live at this lower level, your mind shrinks to adapt to it.

By contrast I have a rich mentality. So I never do these things:

- I never look at the petrol pump prices.
- I never know what food costs. I just buy what I need.
- I never worry where the money will come from. It always does.
- I rarely question the price of things. But I will try for a bargain where I can. Saved 10% (that's $20,000 I got back) on my recent new Lexus by buying clever.
- I always pay a tradesman their worth without a quibble.

The point is this - you and I are not going to get vast millions by spending a $2 lotto ticket each month. You need to change your mindset and earn more so you can buy more tickets. More tickets means more chances.

It's time to step up to the plate and go for gold! Here's some crazy ideas for you to get started earning and thinking big in your new life:

1- Buy an expensive watch.
Even if you own nothing else, get a good watch for the simple fact that it will inspire you. It's a mobile symbol of your expectation. Every time you look at it, you'll think about the good life it represents. That constant trigger will give you incentive to get moving, get earning more, spending more on lotto. A few years back I bought my wife a Omega watch to match mine. Hers is a Cindy Crawford model with umpteen diamonds worth three times the value of mine. Mine is an Omega Constellation, a more modest watch. I'm not a flashy person by nature. Interestingly, whenever I look at her watch, I think about what I need to do to drive up my own income further.

2- Fill your wallet with cash.
What's the amount of folding paper that scares you to have in your wallet? $50? $200? $500? Choose the amount that makes you nervous, and keep it in your wallet. Guess what? After a while, you'll start to feel good about it. You won't be worried about being caught away from an ATM or bank. You'll be able to negotiate with sellers - offer them card, or a lower cash amount. You'll be surprised how low you can go with cash. But the best result of this move is that you'll feel rich, very rich. Cash is king. It's tangible. Just don't flash it about :-)

3- Live beyond your means.
There's nothing that inspires me more than to get up each morning and find ways to get a bigger mortgage. I'm living in my dream house, but I have a better one lined up. Just need a few million more to acquire it :-) And having a big commitment makes me work smarter, buy more lotto tickets. Don't listen to Suzy Orman or any other number of 'sensible' financial advisors who dispense ordinary advice. They're only trying to bring you down to the masses' way of thinking, and keep you poor and compliant.

4- Don't have a rainy day reserve fund.
What's the point of having money if you don’t use it? It's useless sitting there, gathering a tiny few percent in interest. Instead, take out a credit card with a limit that allows you to live for 6 months, and keep it in a safe place. Don't ever use it unless in an emergency. That's your rainy day fund, and it only costs you $35/yr. Better than having $10,000 in savings which could buy you any number of fancy things right now.

5- Change your job to sales.
Working for $15/hr? You're exchanging time for money and you'll never climb out of the pit. Because what happens when you run out of time? Simple - you limit your income. Say you work in a widget factory and can produce 1 widget an hour. You get paid $15 an hour to do that. How are you going to increase your income? You can't! Sell the widgets instead. If you sold 10 widgets at $100 each in an hour - hey, that's $1,000 an hour! Could you sell 100 widgets? That's $10,000 an hour! See the difference? Unlimited thinking is the key.

6- Write your goals daily.
Set extreme goals and confirm them in writing EVERY DAY, in the morning - to set the pattern for the day ahead. Do one thing towards your goal each day. Remember "The Secret"...that book that swept the world a while back? Though much of it was marketing twaddle, one of the most important parts was the goal setting through writing. For some reason the mind works on your written desires and brings them to fulfillment. It works for me all the time, and I don't know why or how. Like me, just do it and believe it will happen.

7- Tithe.
Tithing works. It doesn't have to be money you give away. You can also quit your unused possessions. We gave away a perfectly good clothes drier last week to our church, and someone right now is giving thanks for it. Money is just more convenient. Here's how tithing really works. Forget the spiritual rubbish about 'the universe' giving stuff back to you because you tithe. The reality is that by giving money or stuff away, you are subconsciously acknowledging that you are in fact wealthy enough to do it. That is an important boost to the ego, and before you know it, you're doing more, taking more risk, living more fully. The fear of not having enough wealth is driven out when you give money or items away with a glad heart. It works on YOU.

Why am I suggesting these 7 strategies?

Because unless you are able to play more than the average $10/week that most other lotto players spend, you're going nowhere fast.

The More You Spend, The Faster Your Odds Improve.

It's simple maths. Accelerate everything in your life and you get there faster... whether it applies to success in your sales job, or winning lotteries.

Should you take any of my advice?

No. Because only a privileged few reading this are mentally capable of using this information wisely. The rest will end up poorer and in debt. And blaming me for it.

Is that you? Only you know.

If you have any doubts, or lack vision, give up now. Keep buying your $5/week lotto ticket and maybe win it back, or maybe not. At least you'll be safe and secure and your life will be comfortable in the rut you're in.

To sum it up:

1- You need to increase your income to be able to afford more lotto tickets.
2- Even if your winnings are slow to start, at least your income will be working towards getting you to most powerful position in the world - your own independence and personal freedom.
3- Ignore conventional thinking. It will severely limit your earning opportunities.

Up to you now!

Follow Warren Buffet...






Start thinking today about which charity you will give some of your winnings to.

Yes, I'm serious. Donating some of your winnings to a worthy cause - like the world's richest man, billionaire Warren Buffet - is an essential part of your life growth.

This is why...

Most people, when they come into a windfall, tend to follow the same path. They buy a new house, new cars and a boat, maybe help out their friends and family, and intend to goof off for the rest of their life.

The reality is that after a short while--anything from six months to two years, they get bored.

Some return to their old jobs. Some make a hobby a full-time occupation.

But for most winners, a large amount of money produces problems. But not many want to part with it, as in this example where a company director in our city gained $47 million from the sale of an online auction started by his son. Since he had no use for the sum (he was already well off from the investments he had made in it), he has decided to give it all away to qualifying charities.

This caused a lot of publicity. But his decision was quite sensible. Coping with a windfall is often quite stressful, and has results that follow you for the rest of your life.

Giving to a charity - or helping people in need - satisfies most people in a spiritual way and also solves that problem. This also offsets the problems of having a large amount of unearned cash, and makes life very much easier... or maybe reduces the guilt.

Regardless, most people gain tremendously by giving away a percentage to charity, whether they are lotto winners or not. It's worth thinking about, isn't it?

Will A Lotto Win Make You Happy?






Now...the big question I bet you all wanted to know - does a big win make us happy?

You'll be happy to know it does.

According to a recent survey from the British Camelot Group Plc which runs the lottery there, over 70% of Lotto winners say that they are happier now than before their win. The rest - 28% of all winners surveyed - say that they are just as happy as they were before the win.

Whatever they won, large or small, does not seem to make a difference to the levels of happiness they experienced. Those who have won $3 - $9 million are just as happy as those who have won more.

The main reasons for the increase in happiness are:

  • Having greater security and no money worries (57%),
  • They can buy what they like (28%) and
  • Being able to look after their family and friends (12%)

The X Factor In Lotto

I've just come back from buying Silver Lotto System tickets at my local lotto shop. And you know what?

I still get excited each time.

The simple act of anticipating, then buying tickets... with the promise of a life without borders or problems, is tremendously exciting still. Even after all these years - and wins.

For most people like me, buying a lottery ticket is not a mechanical event. The anticipation has a real feelgood factor. In my shop this morning, there was laughter, cheerfulness, some joking... people were in a good mood. This is what buying lotto tickets does for you.

Many people need something to look forward to, and the promise... the x-factor... of a vast amount of money does that.

This is why I'm moving into supplying systems for the larger games... Mega Millions and Powerball.

As you know, I already have a system for Powerball, and I've been working on my Mega Millions System for a while now. This should be out within the next few days.

Saturday is just a day away. How prepared are you? How excited are you!

What's The Price Of Freedom?

Circuit City's decision today to sack 3,400 of its top-paid employees makes my blood boil. What a waste - tossing employees on the scrap heap like that.

But it also points out the fact that when you work for someone else, your future is in their hands. I had a Job once or twice, and always regretted it.

There is no greater feeling on this earth than to have full control of your own life... true freedom. You can do this by having your own business, but often your customers become your de facto employers. They can crack the whip faster than any boss!

As simple as it sounds, the best way to successfully exist in this world is with the power of money. The more greenbacks you have, the more freedom you have.

One of the quickest and most painless way to accumulate a vast fortune is by winning lotto... either by winning one big prize once, or win a multitude of small prizes many times. The Silver Lotto System does both well.

If I were an enthusiast of freedom and enterprise - which I am - I would be going licketysplit towards that grand prize as quickly as I could.

What Do Most Winners Do First?

This morning I was reading a story in our local paper, the Herald On Sunday, about a couple who won $18 million in our country's lotto.

Do you know what they did first?

And did you know that the majority of winners do this one action every time they win a sizable amount?

They quit their jobs.

It seems that no matter what anyone does for a living... work in a factory, stand behind a counter, sell insurance, run a branch office... when substantial money comes calling, the daily grind is the first thing to go out the window. That tells us a lot about how we live our lives - lacking true freedom to make life choices.

How about you? Would you give up your job right now if you won lotto? I bet you would in an instant.

Think about how you would feel. Even after a decade I can still remember the supreme satisfaction I got when I quit my day job. The job was okay, the people were great. But being trapped in a small room during daylight hours for a living was not my idea of life.

And so I quit, and it was the best thing I've ever done.


Think about it. Isn't winning your freedom back the best incentive to buy my system now? Sure it is.
