Rags to riches stories tend to be fun to hear. The top stories involve hard-luck cases, where significant winnings may be used to help out those truly in need. Even though most of us have not won the Mega millions Jackpot, everyone has their own lottery success story. Maybe, your story is a $5 scratch-off that paid off and bought lunch and dinner for you as well as your friends. Or possibly, you’re part of a work group who’ve used the same lucky numbers for years. No matter what your story is, you share a common hobby with millions of Americans.
Four factors why we love to hear lottery success stories:
The fantasy of being a millionaire
Yes, money is not everything, though the promise of great wealth is something that none of us can resist. For instance, shows from Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous to MTV’s Cribs are already wildly successful since they showcase a side of life that most of us do not get to view. Most of us are hard-working people, and the fantasy of living the “good life,” with its promise of exotic vacations and lavish living, can excite even the most practical person. Plus, most of us can feel good inside when we hear those special lottery success stories where a lottery winner is able to use their winnings to do great deeds and accomplish something special. It’s the rationale that shows like Extreme Makeover: Home Edition are so popular. We like to believe that all lottery winners will be going to be as generous and charitable as some top winners have been.
We love to root for the “little guy”
Whether it’s really a contestant playing for a million dollar prize on your favorite game show, or the sports team that nobody thought could win coming from behind in a massive upset, people love to root for the underdog. As an example, the story of XXX is a great story and one where most readers are happy to see that they’ve become big winners. Since most of us happen to be the underdog eventually in our lives, we determine what it’s like to face tough odds, overcome them, and take pleasure in the exhilaration that victory can bring.
It sparks our imaginations
Whenever we hear about others winning, it is easy to imagine ourselves in their shoes. Because most lottery success stories are about regular people, like you and me, it’s not too tough to see ourselves in their shoes. Some of the most successful lottery slogans were the famous slogans “Hey, you never know,” and “All you may need is a dollar and a dream.” And, those ads are 100% correct. You do not need a PhD or perhaps a fancy job to win the lottery. Who will not dream of winning millions when they choose to play “just this once,” or who hasn’t experienced the excitement of buying a ticket with a group of co-workers? Until those numbers are picked, buying a lottery ticket is just one of the most exciting ways to spend a dollar!
The lottery is universal
Playing the lottery is one thing that everyone in the world can connect with. Because each state has its own lottery agent, and online lottery games are now available to most anyone through an Internet connection, everybody knows how you can play. The lottery phenomenon isn’t exclusively American – in other countries, the lottery is a national event. As an example, in Spain it’s known as “El Gordo” and a lot more celebrated there than perhaps anywhere else on the globe. For this reason, clearly, the shared culture of “rags to riches” stories is a component of the human condition and an element that can be shared by people around the globe.
