Solve your Financial Problems with the Lottery

It may seem like a weird piece of advice, but my accountant has always advocated buying lottery tickets each week (allocate no more than $20) as a way to invest in the future and absolve financial woes.

As it happens over the years i've made a small profit by 'investing' in lottery tickets. I choose the same numbers and buy my lottery tickets online at a different lottery provider each week.

Here's my favorites:

Powerball:The jackpot in America’s favorite lottery game continues to grow. Even though the grand prize was not awarded Saturday evening, two lucky tickets matched all 5 white numbers with the Power Play and won $1 million cash each! Florida Lottery: The Florida Lottery announced on December 15th, 2009 that Justin Smith, 26, of Spring, TX, claimed $10,000 from the POWERBALL drawing held on December 5! California Lottery: "Make Me a Millionaire," the California Lottery’s TV game show, awarded 12 lucky contestants a total of $86,500 in cash and prizes on this week’s show. Mega Millions: The Mega Millions lottery is continuing to grow rapidly! The estimated Jackpot has reached an astounding $162 Million with a cash option of $102.2 Million.
