Turn That TV OFF! Why?

I get annoyed by people who complain about television watching and playing lotto.

At the moment a couple of prominent internet commentators are complaining against the wastefulness of television. Their main gripe is that this form of mass entertainment is a time waster.

Well I'm sorry, but isn't a book the same thing?

You can spend hours reading and not achieve anything either. And worse, the pages aren't moving and don't have sound.

Some advocates of the written word say that a book stimulates the imagination in a better way than television does. They even claim to have measured brainwave patterns to prove it.

Bunkum. I find it hard to believe. You can get knowledge or enjoyment from whatever medium YOU choose. It all depends on your attitude.

The real reason, I think, is the eternal battle of two schools of thought... books versus television. I have a foot in both camps. I know that while I get a lot of information from books, I also wouldn't be without my 50" plasma for up-to-date news and vicarious entertainment.

Does watching TV waste time?

My answer - if you can't make time for an hour a day catching up with the news or relaxing with a good program, you're not a terribly good organizer.

These same do-gooder whingers also complain about lotto. They say it's a waste of money... they say no one ever wins... and it creates bad habits.

How exactly it does all these things, I'm not sure. I have yet to read any newspaper report of a lotto player who left their families starving because the housekeeping money has all gone on the game.

Pokies, maybe. Lotto, no.

Here's a reality check: We need to see if the spoilsports have a personal, vested interest. Often they do:

• Fact: Newspaper barons have a vested interest in keeping readers. They don't want them running off to the always-moving, bright and cheerful television land. So they'll slam the medium whenever they can. You'll always find their horror stories about spam and viruses are designed to frighten you.
  
  
• Fact: Television moguls have a vested interest in keeping viewers. They don't want them running off to the internet. Unfortunately it's a losing battle with the coming convergence of the net and tv.
  

Know what I'm saying? Examine the motives of everyone. Rarely are they purely out to help you.

You might say too I have an interest in keeping people playing lotto. It all helps to sell my Silver Lotto System.

Sure I do, but I also feel I'm helping people to play better and more efficiently, and I feel good about doing that. I'm not subverting the masses. The number of people who have bought my system are such a tiny fraction of the huge billion lotto population, that anything I say won't even make a dent.

As well, I constantly advise my Silverites (buyers of my system) to always play within their needs.

Just as I said in some of my earlier posts, I'm an advocate of having fun. Not at the expense of others, but living life to the full.

That means just because some moralistic do-gooder tells you so, drooping over a boring book - when you want to be watching the magnificent electronic marvel of communication and entertainment that is television - needs some rational thought.

As always, think for yourself. The rewards are greater.

A Shortlist Of Life Experiences

After telling you that I've enjoyed life in this post, I thought it was only fair to tell some of the things I've done.

Sure, some of it is old hat to many adventurers - but I'm not one of those. Just an ordinary guy enjoying life.

So here's a shortlist of some of my more interesting experiences. It may give you ideas for your own lotto freedom time:

• Black water rafting.
• Raced a stock car.
• Became scuba certified.
• Played in bands 15 years (bass), and backed top vocalists.
• Played and mastered 6 and 12-string guitar, mandolin, banjo, electric bass, mouth organ.
• Flew a hang glider.
• Belicopter pilot.
• Glider pilot.
• Private pilot.
• Flew a Skyhawk fighter jet.
• Attended a funeral flypast in one of 13 helicopters.
• Met the Duke of Edinburgh and took his official photo.
• Ridden in a military tank.
• Visited Antarctica.
• Nearly crashed in a Harvard aircraft. (Lost oil cap).
• Wrote 3 best-selling books.
• Watched Fiji firewalking ceremony.
• Was passenger in a hot air balloon.
• Visited Stonehenge, England.
• Taught a class for 1 year.
• Climbed the Eiffel Tower, France.
• Visited Tower of London & Windsor Palace, UK.
• Rode an elephant.
• Rode motorcycles for 20 years.
• Visited Hollywood.
• Published 2 community newspapers over 14 years.
• Whale watched.
• Flew over an active volcano at White Island.
• Climbed Mt Cook during a blizzard.
• Visited 'edge of space,' saw earth's curvature in a Skyhawk at 48,000ft.
• Motorcycled west to east across Australia via Nullabor Plains.
• Flew in an open cockpit (a Tiger Moth).
• Flew in a Sunderland flying boat.
• Flew in a gyroglider.
• Flew in a DC3 topdresser.

Quite a few items relate to my interest in flying. I've flown in more conventional aircraft than I can remember, but the ones above are somewhat unusual.

Most of these adventures are stories in their own right. But that's what life is about, isn't it?

What's Your Future Occupation?

When you win enough lotto money to give up your day job, what will you then put down on paper as your occupation?

On a market survey questionnaire... on your passport... on your CV... on a government form... on an application. What?

When someone asks you at a party, "What do you do for a living?"... what will you reply?

Sensible Folk Should Not Read This Post

One of the aims of this blog is to educate you in thinking about money incorrectly. You heard it right... INcorrectly.

So why am I the best person to do this?

My views on handling money are somewhat unconventional - and I think this makes for a more interesting life. So instead of advising you to save all your money and live frugally, I suggest you splash out when you want to... buy whatever you want, live the life you want right now. You're a long time dead.

I wouldn’t make a very good budget advisor, would I?

Well, maybe I won't influence you as much as you think. Here's how I figure it...

If you're the kind of person who's going to spend lavishly, you will ignore my advice to put your money in the bank.

And if you are a careful saver, there's no way that you will splurge your hard-earned savings on a Ferrari.

Automatically you will put yourself in the correct camp without any direction from me.

So what I'm about to say next will probably only makes sense to a small percentage of you who read this.

It's about how you handle your winnings.

Consider this: Many lotto winners are broke after a couple of years. Some take 5 years to do it.

Why? It's a combination of "sudden money" shock, combined with the fulfillment of years of dreaming finally made real. It's not only lotto winners that fall under this curse, but many others who acquire a large sum of money overnight.

A small number of sensible winners don't have that problem. The first thing they do after they win is visit a financial expert. These shinyshoed, pinstriped advisers will usually tell them to put most of the money away into a range of investments, and maybe spend 10% on themselves.

This is tremendously sensible advice, especially if the winners want to remain rich the rest of their life.

But it does take the fun away. Instead of splurging out immediately on your gated mansion with tennis court and heated pool, you're forced into waiting for your investments to mature before you can spend them. The years pass while you patiently wait for the interest to accumulate and your new life to begin.

Sounds a bit like real life, but without a win, doesn't it?

Now, some people may be happy with that, but I'm not. All my life I've tried to achieve beyond my grasp. Sometimes it's worked, many times it hasn't. My life has been a roller coaster ride of extremes that I still haven't learnt to cope with properly.

But you know what?

If I had my time again, I wouldn't trade the experiences for the world. I would never trade them for the boring, sedentary, plodding life of a sensible consumer. My life has been extreme - consisting of exotic cars, grand homes, travel to many countries, gadgets galore...

... and often - the worry of how I was going to cope with retirement.

Of course, as the years have passed, retirement is less of an issue. A successful internet business like mine can be automated to a large degree and provide cashflow for a long time without work.

While I still have sound mind and active body, I never intend to retire. I hope to write my last creditor's check on the day they put me in the box.

In the meantime I've had a great deal of enjoyment and done exciting things many people have never experienced.

So here's some advice from a lotto renegade to a winner... live your life as YOU want to.

PS. This post is not intended to replace sensible financial advice from a qualified professional. It comes from me, someone who has lived an exciting life to the full, and regrets nothing. You choose your own path.

The Deliberately Forgotten Word In Lotto

I'm going to reveal a word that most lotto system promoters - except me - never use, when they promote their outlandish claims.

Because the use of this word immediately makes all their programs useless. That's right... if they used this word in their marketing, their sales would drop to zero.

And yet I use this word constantly for my program. And my sales are always increasing.

You see, when you buy a lotto system, there is a lot of expectation. You're hoping that their program will get you results immediately, maybe even win you the jackpot. And the complicated methods these other lotto systems use gives you reassurance. (Hey, nothing simple ever works, right?)

So you look forward to your win, forgetting the power of this word to upset the whole apple cart.

That word is "luck." It's the last denominator in the whole structure of a lotto system. And yet it's the most important.

To see why, here's how the Silver Lotto System works...

My system is the only one that removes "bad" numbers. These are millions of numbers and number sequences that will never appear in any winning lotto game. Through years of research I've identified most of these, and so have managed to increase the percentage of successful numbers that will appear in a winning ticket. Sometimes it's as high as 98%. Many times, with enough lines, I've won a prize in every game I've entered.

But the last stretch... that last 1% or 2% of random winning numbers not covered in the Silver Lotto System, is down to pure luck.

I can't make you lucky. Nor can I give you lucky numbers - that's something only you can achieve through dogged determination. But with enough persistence and patience, it's possible. Hundreds of my buyers tell me so, like Phil:

Ken
I bought your system ... Since then computer crashed ,new computer,changed internet carriers, etc,etc.Anyway still kept trying the system and 2 weeks ago won 2nd division powerball $100,000.00....
Be good to hear back from ya
Thanks Phil.

Most other lotto programs don't tell you about the important part that luck plays in your winning.

Luck is the forgotten word they don't want you to know about. (That 3-leaf clover in the photo needs another leaf to bring good luck - so don't rely on it either!)

A Story About A Hairdresser

I don't remember where I read the story. It may have been one of Michael Gerber's "E-Myth" books I have on my bookshelf. Maybe not. Perhaps it was The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley.

I can't remember - but it doesn't matter...

Here's what happened. The author of the book visited a hairdresser and asked her the secret of her success... why her salon was always busy and bustling whilst other businesses in the area languished.

She explained, "It's the personal interaction. I'm one of the few professionals who actually have the permission to touch a part of your physical body - your head. It's because of this that you feel connected to us more than any other business."

The author was bemused, but not convinced. He believed that it was just her own personal interpretation of success, and this flowed through to their business.

This belief was allowing her to become more confident and in turn it attracted more clients.

What's this got to do with lotto, you ask?

This... I am 100% totally convinced that the Silver Lotto System is the only system that will allow you to get substantial lotto winnings.

But here's the critical difference. My belief is not based on some airy fairy example or warped personal belief like our hairdresser.

It's based on fact... my own experience and hundreds of testimonials on my Silver Lotto System website, and the absurdly high win rates - sometimes as high as 98%.

As I speak, of just received an email with last night's lotto winning for my game. Already I've discovered three winning lines - and that's without even checking more than seven or eight tickets. As you know I always let the lotto shop check the tickets through their machine for absolute accuracy.

So I'm not like the hairdresser. I'm not thinking that my lotto success is due to some twisted belief process. It's based on solid fact, not fancy.

When you go to check out different lotto systems, you'll often be greeted with a multitude of mathematical gobbledygook. This is a smokescreen - the sellers are trying to convince you with their own brand of self belief.

You should only choose a system that is proven to work. And as far as I know, mine is one of the few who prove it.

Do You Look Like A Lotto Winner?

My wife was outraged. I had been pointing to photographs of criminals and suspects in one of our national newspapers.

"Look at this," I said, "they all have the same grim look about them. I bet you could distinguish a crim from an honest bystander just by looking at their photos."

Then, to shock her further, I went on to say... "We should gather up all the people that look like criminals and put them in jail immediately - even if they haven't done anything yet. That will solve crime before it happens!"

Of course I was kidding. But there is a modicum of truth in that theory about people matching their lifestyles.

Here's what I mean...

A while back, in one of our monthly telephone conversations, my son remarked to me, "You know Dad, I think I've got the measure of you."
I was interested. He's a bright boy - oops - I mean man.

"I was dealing with a bunch of journalists last week," he continued, "and I was really surprised... they all had your mannerisms. They acted like you, they talked like you."

He finally understood - after almost 40 years of being my son - where I fitted in life. I have been writing, and involved in newspapers, for much of my adult life. That's my calling I guess.

It was my turn not to be surprised. Because I knew there is also a strong correlation between what you look like and what you do. Could you imagine President George Bush as a rock star? Could you imagine rock star Sting as an accountant?

Does your local plumber look like a plumber? I bet he does. The match is absolute.

So what does a lotto winner look like?

I can tell you right away, they are all different. There's no way you can put a bunch of lotto winners together in a lineup and find any similarities. They're all quite dissimilar.

That's the joy of playing lotto. You're not obligated to look like a lotto player before you buy the tickets.

But there is one thing that distinguishes the lotto winner... can you guess what it is?

Yep, the look of complete satisfaction and happiness on their faces. I'm told this condition lasts for up to two years after a major win. What a buzz!

So, who do you look like?

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!

Mega Millions Biggest Win In History

A Georgia truck driver stepped forward yesterday (Wednesday) to claim half of a $390 million jackpot, the richest lottery prize in U.S. history, reports CNN in this article.

"I'm still numb," said Ed Nabors of Rocky Face, Georgia, about 90 miles north of Atlanta. He elected to take home his winnings in a lump sum instead of annual installments, and will get $116.5 million before taxes.

Brave man. Personally, I would stay anonymous for as long as I could.

Previously the largest lottery jackpot in the USA was $365 million in 2006, when eight workers at a Nebraska meatpacking plant hit the Powerball lotto.

Mega Millions is played in the USA - in California, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Texas, Virginia and Washington state.

The next draw is worth $105 Million and will be drawn 6 April 2007.

You can use my Silver Lotto System to work out Mega Millions.

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.

The Cracks In My Lotto System

I'll admit it first - my Silver Lotto System has some cracks and flaws.

These are the main ones I see:

- I underestimate its true value to buyers. The fact is that any system that promises to get you within 98% of a win is extraordinary. But I don't make a big fuss about it - I leave you to make up your own mind about how effective that percentage is.

- I neglect to say how easy it is to use. Let's face it, when all you have to do is spend 30 minutes filling out a system just once... then never having to touch it again... if I fail to tell you how easy it is, that's a bad flaw.

- Many times I fail to tell you that you don't need to spend much time filling out the system. I provide Custom Profiles so all you have to do is transfer the system to your tickets. Takes a couple of minutes.

- I don't reveal testimonial email addresses. Many of you want to to be reassured that our winners are real. For the sake of privacy, I can't put in their full contact details and this gets some of you annoyed. I'm sorry... I can't avoid that. To release any e-mail addresses is to breach the privacy act. So I guess that's another flaw.

- I don't give enough information to affiliates. For example, my system has one of the lowest refund rates - 2% - on the planet which makes it one of the top programs to sell. I don't make enough fuss about that point... so there's another crack.

As you've probably guessed, many of these flaws are actually great points of positiveness. Depends on which way you look at them... cup half empty, or cup half full.

People Who Criticize Lotto Systems...

This is not a criticism of you. Just about low-lifes in general.

To start, let me tell you, there is a strong link between literacy and success. Here's why I say this:

I occasionally come across people who criticize my system or don't have any luck using it.

When these losers write about me, the first indication that it is bogus - is that without fail the writing is juvenile. In fact, much of it is what I call "uneducated" spiel. The sentences don't make sense... there are usually no capital letters... punctuation is often nonexistent... most of them use swear words (the prime indicator of a dull and simple mind).

So what I want to explain is this... if you read a criticism of my Silver Lotto System by someone who appears uneducated, it's also likely that they haven't been able to understand how it works.

They are not that bright.

Therefore, I recommend you don't believe a word they say.

And if it sounds like I'm defending my case, you're exactly right.

Here's why. This morning I read an article about how irresponsible criticism on a blog - fabricated and peppered with wrong information - caused huge problems for an innocent businessman. He had no comeback. His business took a dive.

That stinks.

The Firefox browser is another one of these irresponsible sources.

They use a website ranking system - and I can't figure out the construct. It seems that if you put out more than a couple of selling emails a week, they're going to call your website spammy. And worse, you have no comeback either. There is no way to refute the decision when some lonely Firefox editor loser sitting in front of his computer decides to blast your system.

I'm annoyed, and I don't get annoyed easily.

The Shocking Truth About Minimum Lotto Lines

Many players play only 2 or 3 lines (about $2-$4) and wonder why their wins are small.

You MUST increase your investment in more tickets. You don't have to spend a lot of money - even $12 a game will improve your odds.

But to win constantly you must start playing professionally, which means taking lotto seriously.

That's the whole concept of the Silver Lotto System. It is a fantastically strong system, providing you give it the fuel it needs to produce winners.

My Lotto To-Do Secrets

Started early this morning. It's 5:30 a.m. and I've got a bunch of things to do. But life is pretty easy, really. Because most of it is structured.

So I thought I'd let you into my organizational secret... how I manage my daily to-do list, and how it will help you work your own way through this giant hubbub of information we call the internet.

Now, let's say you wanted to read this lotto blog each day. But sometimes you forget. Maybe you haven't signed up to get an email reminder from that box on the top right-hand side. Or maybe your ISP blocks my emails to you.

Add to the fact that the name is not that easy to type in: - http://honest-lotto.blogspot.com/

So you should do what I do. Bookmark it.

But Ken, you say - I do that anyway.

Aha. Yes. But you can refine bookmarking this way so your whole life becomes easier.

You can do it to:

• - check your lotto results daily
• - visit your favorite lotto blogs (like this one)
• - remind you to take action by seeing a particular website each day. Then you can remove it when you're done.

Here's how:

1. Go to "Bookmarks" in your browser menu and set up a new category. Call it -Daily. Note the hyphen in front of the name... this is important because doing this puts the category at the top of your bookmark list.

2. Now click on "Bookmark This Page" (or something similar in your browser), and add this Lotto Life blog under -Daily.

3. Repeat for every other web site you want to keep an eye on each day.

4. Now open all your -Daily websites together. In Firefox it will be "Open In Tabs." In Opera (my browser of choice) it's there as "Open All Folder Items." Haven't seen a similar system for Internet Explorer, so you might have to open each website separately.

I have about 50 sites that I need to look at, and this includes most of my own lotto sites, including the Silver Lotto System. I do this to check to see whether they're all working. There are programs that will do this for you, but I find it easier to manually check this way.

They take about a minute to all open fully. Because I have a triple screen setup, I can do something else on another screen while I'm waiting. You might have to make a cup of coffee!

So, what you are doing is compiling your favorite websites under one category. And because that category sits at the top of your bookmark list, it's easy to get find.

Now you have to remember to look at it daily, and that's another story. :-)

Charting Our Alexa Lotto Blog Progress

Every day I check out my lotto websites readership statistics in a number of places. This tells me where I've been, and hopefully where I'm going.

But the chart above from my Google Analytics interested me today. It details the number of people who are returning to this lotto blog. While the figure may not mean much to you, I've watched the percentage of returning readers climb dramatically - from about 5% at the beginning to nearly 50% now.

This is good, since it shows me that I'm writing material that is interesting enough for you to come back. So thanks. It helps me in my target to reach position 20,000 on the Alexa toolbar.

At the moment we are at 655,408. That means we have still a way to go, but if you read this previous post about Alexa, you'll see we've already gained over 100,000 places since then, and are making steady progress. Slow but sure... ain't that the way!

Forget About The Zeros

Here's a tip passed on to me by a multimillionaire that has helped me control how I think about large sums of money.

You see, when you think about big money... whether a lotto winning, purchasing a house or buying a new car... most of us make a financial comparison to our own circumstances. So most people automatically calculate the sums in their head like this: "This car is going to cost me $25,000 to buy. It's almost my annual wage."

When you measure large numbers against your income, it becomes harder to deal with them emotionally. You are always making the comparison against something you are familiar with.

The figures become scary.

This is not necessarily a good thing. For example, if you wanted to invest your lotto winnings in real estate, you're going to have to get used to dealing with large sums very quickly.

So my multimillionaire friend suggested you never include the zeros in any large figure when you talk about them.

I never do. I always say "300" for $300,000. Or, "1.1" for $1,100,000.

Even for the small amounts... I'll say "2 and a half" for $2500.

It makes dealing with larger sums easier to deal with - they become mere figures instead of having an emotional content.

Most people understand what you're saying too. Nowadays it's rare for someone to not be able to understand the real cost of something you're talking about. But of course, in the final transaction you need to spell out the exact amount just be sure.

In the meantime, start by making large figures small by removing the zeros, and see how it changes your thinking.

Snatched By A Low-Fying Seagull?

After last night's game, Powerball is starting this week at $15 million. As you know, the main jackpot has gotten to over $350 million at times.

This is a huge sum of money.

So what would you do if you had the winning ticket? What say a family member phoned you and read the winning numbers over the line... and you discovered yours was the winning ticket!

What would be your next step?

From stories I've read, people often go into shock. Then they go into screaming, dancing, cheering, crying mode.

What happens to the ticket during these moments?

Just think... you're holding a small piece of paper that represents a new life - a future that is so different to anything you've ever experienced, giving you the freedom to do whatever you want. A reward that fixes all your problems... helps all your friends and family... forever.

What would you do - at this very moment - with this small piece of paper you are holding in your hands?

What happens if you put it through a scanner to copy it, and it got ripped apart by the wheels? Or if you put it into a photocopier that jammed? Or if you put it into your shirt pocket and ran excitedly through the rain, only to discover that all the writing had smudged? Or waved it in the air - only to have it snatched from your fingers by a low-flying seagull?

Crazy thoughts! But what would you do? How would you keep it secure until you marched into Powerball's main office to collect your winning check?

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.
