These people don&#8217;t even bother to circle the block once in the off chance that they might get lucky. However, the &#8220;lucky&#8221; ones probably circle the block a few times.<\/p>\n<p>Ric Wallace, the subject of the article, considers himself very lucky, he even calls himself a &#8220;Luckologist.&#8221; He has a website &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/lotterysquirrel.com\/\">lotterysquirrel.com<\/a> and he says that he&#8217;s so lucky that even when he goes for a walk, he often comes home with a few dollars.
