I don't know anyone who wouldn't want to hit the Lottery. One of these days I'm going to the jackpot! When I do, I'm going to call my favorite TV host, David Bromstad, from HGTV's My Lottery Dream House to help me find the home of my dreams. While I fantasize about my lottery dream come true, it turns out that winning isn't just about fate or luck.

At least that's what Richard Lustig says. He should know a thing or two about winning the Lottery. He won seven times! Is that not incredible or what? Check out his winning stats below:

WIN #1 - JANUARY 1993 - $10k (SCRATCH OFF)

WIN #2 - AUGUST 1997 - $13, 696.03 (FLORIDA FANTASY 5

WIN #3 - JUNE 2000 - WHEEL OF FORTUNE - HOLIDAY TRIP TO L.A. (valued at $3,594.66) - SCRATCH-OFF 2ND CHANCE

Lustig wrote the book on how to win the Lottery. Literally! He published the book, How To Increase Your Chances of Winning the Lottery offering winning strategies that he used. There must be something to his method beings he won seven different times. According to Lustig, you should always use hand-picked sequential numbers and use the same numbers every time you play. Below he goes into to more detail on how to win.

Wow! I think it's so cool that he shared his playing strategy with the world. He could've kept it to himself, but he didn't. Prior to winning the Lottery, Lustig worked for an entertainment booking agency and reportedly was struggling financially. So, the winnings could have come at a better time. Sadly he passed away in 2018 at age 67. May he rest in peace and may his memory be a blessing to everyone who reads his book.

If you dare to dream, Lustig’s story is a testament to what is possible.
