Games of Luck

When you heard about gambling problem, do you think that it will never happen to you?

The fact is, it is hard to stay sensible and it takes real sense of control when it comes to Game of Luck.

Just this week, there was a 22 mil mega draw.  Normally, I just buy Quick Pick, with minimum game, cost me less than $10.
With this 22 mil mega draw, I have decided to play Quick Pick System 9, which is equivalent to 81 games, cost me around $55.
The idea is, I only need minimum 1 number + 2 supplements, would at least get me around $12 for one win and there are 6 numbers for the combination out of the 9.

Just to be safe, I buy a normal Quick Pick of 12 games, cost me another $10.
Cool, great investment, I thought.

Believe it or not, there are 14 winners for the 22 mil, I am not one of them.  In total, there are around 1.4 mil winnders and again, I am not one of them.

How disappointing..... 

To be honest, I was a little desperate.  I wanted to change job and get some free money for buying a small property.  I got a little desperate as I have been job hunting for a while, but can't seem to find a job I like.  I am desperate to leave the current job.  In 2 months time,  it will be Company Christmas dinner, and I am not even looking forward to that.

All this add up to the desperation, and guess what, I thought I cannot be that unlucky. 

No, no, no......  That is the self-created trap. 

Keep in mind, you can try your luck... but, if you get suck into encouragement of winning small $ and then hoping for the Big Windfall, before you know, you would have spent too much.

Just a small calculation. $10 * 52 weeks = $520, $50 * 52 = $2600, which covers nearly 2 months of groceries.

So, think again.
