Do I still need to repeat the title? As it says, winning a second prize doesn't make you a winner. It's as simple as that. Many of you will argue that if you win, you are a lottery winner, but I tend to disagree. I have some arguments of my own to support this claim! I'm ready!
Any lottery has multiple levels of prizes. The more numbers you guess correctly, the bigger the prize. If you happen to be new to the lottery, it may be difficult for me to get you closer to the question about the title. I had to give it a try, though.
Small prizes don't change lives
Let me start with the obvious. Winning $100 won't change your life. It may change your perspective, but it's certainly not enough to get you to buy the apartment you've always wanted, the car of your dreams, or pay for the vacation you've so craved. On the other hand, winning a multi-million dollar jackpot is certainly possible.
Some secondary prizes can make a difference, but not like the jackpot. What do you think is the amount of money that will change your life? How much money can make a major change in your life, for the better or for the worse? I must point this out, after all, many lottery winners have experienced changes that have made their lives worse. However, I have no doubts about your money management and investment skills. You'd hire professional accountants and managers, right?
The second prize is the source of lottery funds
That's right! I see the second prize as the source of funding that will ultimately allow me to win the jackpot. I didn't buy the lottery ticket for any consolation prize. I'm aiming for the jackpot. Still, in order to hit the jackpot, I need money! Imagine a lottery with no other prizes other than jackpots and jackpots. That's going to be boring! Of course, there will still be a lot of people trying to win the only prize – the jackpot. This would also be a fast-growing jackpot!
However, there is a big but. None of these players will stay in the game for long. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to those who came up with the idea for the second prize. Without them, lottery players would have to spend more money! Skilled lottery players pay for all the costs associated with the lottery with these cute little prizes.
Small prizes are not the ultimate goal of lottery players
When I started playing the lottery, all I knew was that I had to match all the numbers to win the jackpot. That's it. No one talks about any small prizes. This is because, the only, ultimate goal of any lottery player is the first prize, which is the jackpot!
Any game has its rules, but any game also has some kind of objective that needs to be accomplished. Keep an eye on the prizes. Not any prize, but the first prize!
Of course, a small prize can keep you entertained all day, but a jackpot can make you remember for a lifetime! Whenever I win a small prize, I say to myself, "Dude, you made it." "It's not that I don't like small prizes, I do, but I know I have to win the jackpot to say, 'Dude, you made it'.
Finishing second will not bring fame or fortune
Of course, sometimes the news media doesn't have anything else to cover, so they will focus on the second prize, say $50,000 or $100,000. This kind of news looks ridiculous. People who don't win the lottery will be jealous, but I won't. However, I do get jealous when I hear that players who live in my state have won the lottery.
If you want to become rich and famous, winning the lottery is a great way to have both wealth and fame! Your persistence will pay off. At least based on my experience and knowledge, perseverance pays dividends in the long run. The point is, you have to make huge sacrifices. Small lottery winnings are a breath of fresh air, especially when losing a mess. I don't want anyone to lose in a mess. The lottery, as a game, tends to penalize lottery players who don't play well.
Back to the point, I don't remember the last time someone became famous for being number two. We all know who was the first to go to the moon, but do you know who was the second? 90% of people don't know. I'll tell you, it's Boole · Aldrin. He hates to be called the second man on the moon.
There is only one at the top of the mountain
Like our dear Mr. Aldrin, the second man on the moon, no one likes to be the second. Everyone remembers the number one, mainly because fame and wealth are hidden there. Find them by playing the lottery as efficiently and effectively as possible. Don't get frustrated if you keep winning second prizes. That's a good thing! An extra $50 here, an extra $20 there means you have an extra amount of money in your budget. Remember, don't spend all your winnings right away. Stick to your normal payouts and only invest when necessary.
The bottom line is that there is only one at the top of the mountain. Only one player can become the King of the Hill. Well, yes, you can share the jackpot, it's an option, but you're still at the top of the hill, standing side by side with another jackpot winner. This is quite common, especially when a number like a date is pulled out of the wheel.
