What Did You Win in the Lottery?
My husband won a $3,900 prize in the IL state lottery a few years ago.
How I Won the Lottery
Every week, a group of people at his office would pool their money together to buy a batch of lottery tickets. If any of the tickets won - they would then divide up the winnings equally. My husband never participated in the office pool - except for one week they convinced him to join in. Of course it was that week they won a jackpot!
Tips and Tricks
- You can increase your chances of winning by joining with your friends or colleagues and buying a batch of tickets together. If one of the tickets wins, the money is split among the entire group. You may not win as much but you're more likely to get something.
- Also - you may not need to play the lottery regularly to win. My husband was just feeling lucky and entered for the first time in his life! That's when he won!
