Optimizing My Lottery Strategy: Lessons Learned in 2023
Written on
Chapter 1: A Fresh Start
At the start of this year, I made the challenging yet necessary decision to shift my life in a positive direction. Through a brainstorming session with Major Hindsight, Lieutenant Literal, and Colonel Mustard, I organized my strategy into three essential components:
- Embracing Naps: There’s absolutely no guilt in taking naps once you hit adulthood. In fact, it can actually help you reconnect with the carefree spirit of your childhood.
- Cutting Screen Time After 10:30 PM: This is a change I should have embraced years ago. It's funny how clear things become in hindsight; trust me, I've learned that lesson well.
- Pursuing Lottery Wins: I’ll save the details on the first two points for another time and concentrate on the lottery aspect instead.
So far this year, I've invested $142 in Powerball tickets. That’s just under two plays weekly, aligning nicely with my financial plan. The funds for these tickets come from the coffees I’ve skipped.
As for my winnings, I've earned $18 from Powerball payouts this year. I hit one number for $4 in April, and twice I matched two numbers plus the Powerball for $7 each, both times in January. While my results aren't exactly what I envisioned, I sense the potential is there, and patience is key. With over 200 days left in the year, there's still ample opportunity.
Ideas I'm Considering:
- Increasing my Medium earnings to support a third weekly ticket.
- Walking more often and keeping an eye out for found money.
- Pawning my Captain Obvious cape (a risky strategy I’m saving for later).
That’s all for now! I’m hopeful for a jackpot win and plan to provide an update in July. Fingers crossed for luck!
