These stories, although you may have heard them in the past aren’t quite as memorable as a story of a lottery winner, or an investor who made millions overnight, or those big winning poker players and gamblers you see on TV. The reality is that it is much easier to recall a local lottery winner. This makes it that much easier for you to imagine what it would be like for you to win; and your brain then assumes that the scenario is not only possible, but probable.
This is why big winners are featured on the news along with all those human-interest, heart-tugging stories. Watching them makes it easier for our brains to think the big payout could ACTUALLY happen to us.
