A WOMAN who claims to have won the lottery more than 50 times has shared her surefire trick to winning the jackpot.
Social media influencer Paulinha Leite has said that you absolutely have to “play to win” and that confidence is the key to securing that win.

Leite is best known for her participation in Big Brother Brazil and although she didn’t secure the crown for the 11th series of the reality show, she has had much better luck with the lottery.
The 36-year-old, who has 841,000 followers on Instagram, lives a lavish life with her winnings – which reportedly include hefty sums.
She claims to have won jackpots worth £50,000, all by having a keen eye for magic numbers.
On December 31, Leite was crowned one of the winners of the Mega da Virada draw in Sao Paulo, matching 16 bets.
After being awarded a prize of R$70,083.58 (£11,340), Leite told O Globo newspaper that she is successful simply because she believes in herself.
Although she added: “The tip is to pay attention to the numbers you see during the day, use the birthday of the people closest to you or a number you really like and set your games together.
“I’ve been doing this and it’s been working for a long time.”
Leite said she has always been vigilant about numbers and said the extra attention she pays to everyday numbers has led her to make big profits even from a very young age.
She also revealed that her lucky number, four, comes up a lot when she places bets.
Early last month, Leite shared on Instagram the fact that she, along with 64 thousand other people, had earned R$4.2 million from Lotofácil.
“Every participant in this competition paid 35 reais and it was a success, thank you God, thank you universe,” she said in her caption.
While other lottery winners blamed the jackpot for their downfall.
Like Callie Rogers, who made headlines when she became Britain’s youngest ever lottery winner at the age of 16, raising £1.9 million in 2003.
She gave up her £3.60-an-hour cashier job and started spending the money on designer clothes, three boob jobs and wild parties.
The teenager also gave away £500,000 of her winnings to family and friends, but soon realized some were just using her, leaving her with “trust issues”.
Callie, 36, described winning the lottery as a “curse” that drove her to attempt suicide. Fortunately, she was rescued by her mother, who found her and took her to the hospital.
Then there was self-styled King Of Chavs Michael Carroll, who wore an electronic anklet when he won £9.7million on the National Lottery in 2002.
He was 19 years old at the time and squandered his fortune on a six-bedroom country house in Norfolk, which he equipped with a swimming pool and a motor racing track.
His drug addiction caused Michael to spend £2,000 a day on cocaine, which ultimately left him destitute.
He previously said: “The dealer who introduced me to crack has more of my lottery money than I do.”
And Gillian Bayford’s eight-year marriage was destroyed when she and ex-husband Adrian raised £148million at the EuroMillions in 2012.

Their lives changed overnight, putting so much strain on their relationship that it completely broke down 15 months after their victory.
Both Gillian, 50, and Adrian blamed the stress of their stunning victory for their split.
