Step 1
Write down how much money you spend on lottery tickets for a whole week. Now take a look at how much money you won on the lottery tickets for that week. You will most likely end up with less money than when you started. Think of all of the things that you could have if you did not waste that money on lottery tickets.

Step 2
Pay at the pump when you go to a gas station for gas. If you go inside, you will be tempted to purchase lottery tickets. Only buy the things that you need if you do have to go inside. It also helps if you do not carry cash on you because you have to purchase lottery tickets with cash.

Step 3
Every time you think about buying a lottery ticket, put that money into a jar. Keep doing this and eventually you will have some money to get yourself something nice. You will most likely have more money in the jar then you would ever win by buying lottery tickets.

Step 4
Breaking this habit might be hard but it will save you money in the long run. You might get lucky one day and win the lottery for a ton of money but it is not likely. Save your money and do not waste anymore on lottery tickets.
