8There's a famous saying that goes "You've got the same chance of winning the lottery whether you play or not. "Now of course that's not strictly true. You've actually got about a 1 in 292 million chance of winning the Powerball jackpot. But that's about as close to zero as you can get. And yet, every year, the average American spends $219 on lottery tickets. Each hoping they'll be the one.So that's over $4 a week, every week. But if I asked those same people to buy a single $219 ticket once a year, do you think they'd buy one? Of course they wouldn't. Because they could then see how much they'd be losing. But because it's such a tiny, regular amount they can't see it. They never win, but they live in hope. And that's how most people live their lives. They never win, but they live in hope. Because they're playing someone else's lottery. And the odds are just too big. But how about, instead of playing someone else's lottery, you played your own. In fact, how about if you were the only player? Then you'd be sure to win. So that's exactly what this book is about. Learning how to play and win your own lottery, instead of playing and losing someone else's.
