winning the lottery

One lucky player just claimed a 1M dollar prize in Monmouth County. It was a Powerball ticket in Marlboro.  That got me wondering...are you a person that plays the odds? Do you think there is some science to winning or is it simply luck?

I won $20 playing a $2 scratch-off the other day and then I started daydreaming...

Hint...it has nothing to do with spending.
