I like your last paragraph when you talk about hiring people smarter than you. If people were to realize the best thing you can do is surround yourself with people who you deem “better” or “smarter” than you chances are you’ll slowly accrue some of their traits and knowledge. I don’t play the lottery my hard earned dollars are better off making money for me in the market =)

I avoid the lottery as a losing proposition as well. My wife doesn’t feel the same way, so it is possible I could win be extension

I’ve always believe strongly that you create your own reality and then manifest it accordingly.

Nope, just because you have money doesn’t mean you know what to do with it!

I play sparingly, I will pick up one ticket when the jackpot is giagantic. While it would be great to win, these stories show it doesn’t mean you become a financial wizard when you receive your windfall!

…an argument for the notion of personal reality! The fact is, the world that the person in your example, not only did not include him being a millionaire, it included the fact that he was not.
This is not to say that free will does not exist, it does…within the context of the person. (Your) Will is free for the choice described and defined by your personal reality.
Good thought provoking Post.

Interesting I just do not like the odds in the lottery, for example you have a greater chance of getting mauled by two bears than winning the lottery. This is the reason why I do not play it. I prefer saving the dollar everyday and letting compound interest give me a small lottery everyday.
