These days, Arizona residents are spending record amounts on lottery tickets. During the 2009-2010 fiscal year, lottery sales jumped 14%, giving it a first place ranking in a La Fleur's Magazine study of forty-three states and DC. For the 2011 fiscal year, which ended June 30, the Arizona Lottery sold $584M in tickets -- an all-time high for the state.

State officials in Arizona say that lottery revenue is needed more than ever, as the state grapples with budget cuts and decreased consumer spending. To make lottery more popular, tickets have been changed to improve the odds of winning.

Richard Lustig -- the seven-time lottery grand prize winner and author of "Learn How To Increase Your Chances of Winning The Lottery" (winninglotterymethod.com) -- sees this as great news.

"In Arizona, the state introduced scratcher tickets a few years back, and now they've improved the average odds of winning to about 69% from 60%... And, there are a lot more retailers than before, so you don't have to spend as much time and fuel getting to a location to purchase your tickets. That's smart: when times are tough, people need a good reason if they're going to play the lottery," said Lustig, who often receives calls and emails from happy winners who followed his book's advice.

So how can Richard help Arizonans increase their chances of winning such a jackpot? And how should the winners manage their instant wealth?

Richard Lustig is well known to Florida Lottery employees. He has collected wins from them totaling over one million dollars, including seven grand prizes. He claims that his winning strategy, not luck, is behind his wins. Another couple following Richard's advice recently won a grand prize of over two million dollars.

Richard is hitting print and airwave to discuss his lottery wins and his book. Interest in Richard's advice has been growing worldwide, especially with so many people facing economic distress. “Playing the lottery using my method may actually be safer than putting your money in the stock market these days,” he says, only half-joking.

Ask Richard:
-- Why more Arizona residents are buying lottery tickets
-- How to take advantage of the improved odds of winning
-- How lottery revenue helps Arizona residents
-- How lottery players can avoid damaging their economic security
-- How his method can help players win big
