Email

If you are serious about increasing your odds of winning, then you'll be playing quite a few different lottery games on the web. It's a case of not putting all your eggs in one basket.

Most of the lottery-sweepstakes-raffle games out there will send you a confirmation email, and possibly also an email with the winning numbers. Depending on how many games you play, you may well receive several hundred email messages each week. This can quickly become overwhelming if you don't do a little advanced planning. This section will describe:

	How to set up a free email account to use for your online gaming activity. (in a nutshell, try http://mail.yahoo.com or http://mailandnews.com)
	How to tell your email program to automatically process incoming lottery emails.
	How to automatically search all your email folders for a specific piece of text. Because this information will come in handy when those lottery people call you to tell you that you're a winner, but they want the confirmation code for the numbers that you played.
	There will be lots of how-to screen shots for some of the popular email programs. So if you have a slow connection, give the pages a little extra time to finish loading.
