This is the smallest lottery jackpot you should be aiming to win if you want an easy life

His hands shook as he checked the figures again.

The paused tv picture with the lottery balls all lined up filled his vision.

He could feel the tension as he underlined each number and looked back at the ticket and tv again, and again.

He had just won $22.2 million.

And the Silver Lotto System was responsible for his huge success.

Even as he celebrated, the Oz Lottery organisation was already getting his win details organised. And he suddenly realised his life would be different - worry-free, forever.

Or would it?

Many winners have spent that amount and more in just a few action-packed years, and have nothing to show for it today.

So what amount should you aim for to get complete security for the rest of your life?

Is buying a large home the best way to spend your lottery jackpot?

I have that figure, and it's this: A minimum of $10 million or more, in your pocket.

This is the reason behind that amount...

The interest.

You see, when the capital - your win - runs out through spending, it can never be replaced.

Nothing you've bought so far... houses, cars, yachts or jets are likely to return you the money you spent if you have to sell them again.

At best you might get a third of the amount you spent back.

And vacations and gifts - you get zero back.

So spending your win is not really a sensible idea. So if you don't spend it, what do you do?

You invest it, after first taking out some play and payback money.

But let's say you had the full $10 million available after that.

Imagine getting $500,000 like winner Jaspal Sall of North Van resident - but each year!

You invest it in a government fund or bank for 5% interest. (That return is high, but do-able in many countries with a good financial advisor).

That gives you half a million a year to start with. That's a cool $500,000, more than you'll ever earn in a regular job or even a medium sized business.

You have to allow for tax of course, and maybe some accounting costs, but that amount will get you almost anything you need in a normal life.

The best thing? The money stream never runs out.

Every month the same amount comes into your account - around $30,000 a month after costs - in your hot little hand.

Wasted money. Euromillions winners Matt Topham and Cassey Carrington's new cars can be bought for much less if they were secondhand.

The first month you could replace your old car with a slightly used European luxury vehicle (don't buy new - the 50% depreciation is not worth it).

Three months later you could put a deposit on a home, knowing you'll never be turned down for the loan because of your invested capital locked away.

Even paying $5,000 a month on your mortgage still leaves you with $25,000 a month for trips, travel, furniture...

And every month the same amount turns up, waiting for you to spend it or donate it.

Is that the sort of life you want to lead? Having a perpetual money machine feeding you cash?

All you have to do is find a game that gives $10 million as a minimum win so you can play it each week.

The best way is to use the star rating in your LottoPredict chart to find that game, and play as often as you can.

Remember, frequency of play using my System is the secret to winning and living well.

Spending wisely is the other part. Now you know how!
