As far as Regina Hammond is concerned, luck has little to do with it. The 37-year-old flight attendant won $100,000 in a Colorado lottery game on top of the $50,000 she won the previous year the same way. And she's not finished yet. Her goal is the $1 million grand prize. Hammond believes that prayer has paved her way to riches. "I pray to God to help me and he answers," she says.
