A successful businessman wins a quarter of a million dollars and it is nice: a bonus, a chance to splurge on new toys, opportunity to retire outstanding debts, or expand their company with a welcome infusion of capital.

A working-class-stiff wins a quarter of a million dollars and it is truly life-changing. A janitor, a gardener, a fast food worker, a guard - with a windfall like that, they can turn their back on roach-infested slum apartment and move to a better neighborhood or buy a small house and a new car. They can quit their hated job, help their families, participate in good life they have only previously experienced as outsiders, looking in.

The problem is that it is non-sustainable. Winning what seems like an enormous amount of money seldom leads to rational investment: education, skill upgrades, saving for future college costs or business opportunities. Moving from nothing to something, in an instant, is not an event likely to produce rational planning. For those whose monetary and emotional needs have never been truly met, immediate gratification is direction of choice. A lifetime of denial demands a certain degree of self-indulgence when means for it become miraculously available.

Is it any wonder that a large percentage of lottery winners file bankruptcy within five years of their win? The moves, changes, life enhancements that substantial wins provide are ephemeral.

In short run, they provide an exciting exit from a black tunnel. In long run, such a win turns negative - because dream has become a reality, even if only for a brief moment, returning to prior levels of existence becomes an even more painful form of imprisonment.

The need to recapture that dream, and perhaps maintain it this time if a mega-million prize can be snatched, keeps gambling industry thriving and promises of dream fulfillment entice us all, most especially poor, into one more venture, one more ticket, one more chance.

Some signs of a woman's deepening sexual attraction to you include: - Sitting with her inner thigh exposed. - Fidgeting with her clothes. She might even unfasten a button or two of her blouse. - She engages in "triangle gazing." She'll look at one of your eyes, then another, and then at your mouth. - You notice her stealing glimpses at your chest and even your crotch.

The problem is you can't just say, "Let's go to my place and have sex." With women you're on a first date with, whenever you verbalize anything sexual, it kills mood for her and results in you sleeping alone that night.

Instead, mention an innocent excuse for two of you to go to your place. (Examples could be, "You should come hear my 'Best of 80s' CD" or "That's awesome that you're so good with art... I have a painting in my living room that I'd love to get your opinion on")

Since two of you have an "innocent" reason to be alone together, it avoids triggering alarm bells in her mind that scream, "Uh oh! I don't want to be a slut!"

Once two of you are then alone, isolated at your place, you can set scene for seduction.

It can take several hours for woman to feel comfortable enough with you at your house, so you need to be patient.

Sit on your couch and watch a movie. Slowly escalate. Hold hands, stroke her hair, and so on from there.

Sexually, women are like irons. They heat up slowly. Keep that in mind and don't rush things, and you'll have your maximum shot at having sex on a first date.
