Most of us know that the lottery is nearly impossible to win. If it’s set up properly, there’s no way to “hack” it. You win or lose according to the laws of probability—and most of us lose because it’s out of our control.
But there’s some really good news: with the career lottery, you have a great deal of influence over the results. Those results are not out of your control. The actions you take now will directly affect the opportunities available to you in the future.
