In it and won it

A first time prize winner asks

I entered a competition having never bothered as I never win and went and won. Should I take this as a sign and go and buy some lottery tickets, raffle tickets and go off down the casino or should I just enjoy the glory?

    Not sure that the advice from anonymous rely answers your question. Hopefully we might be able to though.
    Common sense suggests that there is no such thing as a winning streak. Instead, winning is random. However, if you now entere many competitions, and win a few, you will perpetuate the illlusion of a winning streak by simply increasing the opportunities to win. You may end up with a house load of junk though. So, don’t buy a lottery ticket as you have to pay to lose.

Provide common sense...

A dodo. Well known for its common sense.
