Myturn08 you said it perfectly. We all have some sort of hope for ourselves and our families to make our lives better than they are. I believe that if it's in the cards for me to win the Super Lotto Jackpot or Mega Millions then God will make it happen for me. I believe it's all about divine intervention for anyone who wins a jackpot. I don't believe it's false hope because this may be your month to win the jackpot. I mean someone has to win the Superlotto Jackpot so why can't it be you or me or... [ More ]

We all have a little false hope from time to time. But what it all boils down to is that we want better for ourselves, and that is something that never really goes away. Cause that one day where everything will change is very possible. Without something to hope for we have nothing, whatever hope may be..Just keep exploring your options and try not to leave any stone unturned....

I totally get that way too. I have great plans of buying up houses and turning them into rental properties. I don't know any other investment that will return in upwards of $10,000 a month or more, depending on how many properties you have and how many tenants you have. PLUS if you ever get tired of the real estate game you can fix them back up and sell them for a profit given you wait until the market is booming again.

Whenever the jackpot amount of California Super Lotto gets close to 40 millions, I start having another hope. And it's not good at all.

Even though I try to fully reject any kind of superstitious belief and supernatural worldview, I am still dominated by this hopeless....hope.

Some of you guys might already know why I feel anxious whenever the jackpot reaches to 40 millions, if you guys have read my posts.

You know, being 17.2 million dollars richer is no small thing, even in LA coun... [ More ]
