I try to enter Publisher's Clearinghouse everyday for free false hope. They have a contest for some $55,000 truck.

Do you track your expenses with any app or spreadsheet? Getting ahead is a simple matter of ensuring outflow is less than inflow. Give proportionally more attention to cutting back on the larger expenditures, and give proportionally more attention to the largest sources of income. Be price sensitive about everything; nothing is too small to consider. This is the behavior of a frugalist.
Regarding winning; I don't gamble because unearned gains don't satisfy me. The last thing I won was a 42" LCD TV, and I donated it.
