What do turtles and winning the lottery have to do with each other?

PERSISTENCE – Turtles are slow moving and take a while to get where they are going, but eventually they get there.

Playing the lottery can yield no wins for weeks or months, but if you are persistent you can have success (dollar amounts will vary).

If you review the documented wins on LotteryCharms.com, there are weeks or months with no wins. The small wins keep you in the game until the big win.
