lottery gives you the highest leverage with negligible amount of money. Like everything with extremely high leverage, don't expect to win all the time.

Jason, your idea about using the lottery to make money does not fly with those of us that took 6th grade math ;-) For us, we tend to go on to college, study something that will provide us 6 figure incomes and well, I know this is not as romantic and idealistic as you might want, but it works for me. ;-)

32) Win a $1.4 million prize for doing nothing. (Note: Can probably only be done every 4 years and might require being a minority).

Neither did any of the Oscar winners get an Oscar on the year they went to acting school, if at all they went to one.

There is a saying, you can't win what you don't play. We only live once, let's give everything a shot!

Well, even if lotteries are viewed as a money-making scheme, it's not a very good one at all.

This exercise is kind of silly because most, of not all those jobs don't pay real money.

Raise your standards people! Don't you want better for your life?

Study something that has a high paying future and get a realy job paying real money.

Life is too short to subsist on low wages doing menial work, even if that work is honest, and if one is hard working.

The best way is often to go to college, major in something that has a high paying future, and doing your best so you can build a career that will provide for you and your family.

Something that provides options you your life, and really that is the nugget of truth in all I write here: OPTIONS!

Get jobs that pay real money? interesting... let me stretch it a bit, how about becoming the ones who create companies which provides jobs that pay real money? ;-) Someone needs to create jobs, why not you?
