Your determinations will keeps you to move forward chasing things up to come true.
Here I would disagree. I would say that in case you are not lucky despite taking lottery tickets for an extended period of time, then you should try your luck somewhere else. There is no point in chasing the lottery jackpot for many decades. In case of this Canadian lady, she won the jackpot in the end. But 99.99% of us won't be that lucky. Persisting with a low-chance game would only result in financial loss and heart burn.
True, no matter what one says, determination, effort, hardwork, will, all of those only build up 1% of the process. The 99% of that is always reliant on luck. Doesn't only apply on gambling tbh, getting an opportunity, hitting it off with someone, getting a promotion, all of those would always include luck, and you can't get any result without it. Doesn't mean that 1% can be ignored though, cause it still completes 100% of the result.
*in this world nothing is impossible, we can only keep going and work hard...
being financially free with tens of millions of dollars is everyone's dream and that woman feels it at an old age, me and you are definitely not over 40 years old, therefore we have the same chance of being able to win big like that woman. continue to be patient.
Sadly patience doesn't return the time you've spent. Life is just like a lottery tbh, to hit or miss, sad enough to say that even with numerous organizations that try to help life be easier, it still has that factor of getting only a hit or miss.
