Every time the lottery cracks the $500 million mark people start going bonkers despite the fact that everyone knows that the chances of winning are slimmer than a piece of paper yet people still buy tickets in droves.  The chances of winning the current power ball lottery are 1 in 292 million but since that isn’t stopping people, here is some perspective.

You have a better chance of the following happening to you than winning the lottery:

• Giving birth to quadruplets
• Being killed by an asteroid
• Being killed by lightning
• Drowning
• Being struck by lightning while drowning

The chances of being struck by lightning while drowning is 1 in 183 million.  So, if this information is out all over the Internet, then why do people still play the lottery?  It’s because everyone wants to believe that they can get rich without doing the work that by some act of god, the fortune of 12 lifetimes will just fall down their lap.  People cannot accept that if they are going to be wealthy they are going to have to work.  It’s all simply because no one wants to do hard work.  Sure someone might enjoy busting their ass for a day or two but no one wants to do it for a lifetime.

There is a way to make hard work much easier making the reward too good to miss.  If you are making thousands every time you log onto your computer then no matter what you have to do there is a good chance you are going to get it done.
