How to play lotto

1. Get the card corresponding to the one you want to bet on. Normally, the betting cards are just on the table or somewhere outside the booth. But if you can't find your particular card, or there are no cards at all, ask one from the teller. Sometimes they only provide cards on a "by request" method in order minimize wastage.

2. Mark your preferred numbers according to the instructions at the back of the card, fall in line, and present it to the teller along with your payment, and you will receive a receipt which serves as a proof when claiming prizes.

3. Read the instructions or reminders at the back of the receipt. You wouldn't want yourself leaping for joy when you win but later on your prize is forfeited due to a mutilated receipt.

How to Digest Cases

Case digest is a digest, hence it must be concise.

1. Speed read the entire case. This will give you an overall picture or idea of what the case is all about.

2. Read the dispositive portion. This can be found at the last part of the decision which usually states "WHEREFORE ... "

3. Identify the issue first. So that while reading the whole text, you will know which facts are important.

4. Read the entire case at your normal speed.

5. Pick up only the ultimate facts which are relevant to the issue. Ignore those which do not have something to do with how the issue came about. This includes unnecessary dates. This is the reason why you need to know the issue first.

6. Identify how the Supreme Court ourt settled the issue. If you are using the SCRA, check the syllabi of the case. Quote the exact phrase/s or paragraph/s.

How to Answer Law School Exams

1. If the facts are specific, do not qualify your answer. Answers must be responsive to the question.

2.Organize your paragraphs. I suggest you use the inverted pyramid structure which means that you must place the topic sentence (the most fundamental or relevant facts which answers the question) at the top. The non-essential or supporting information should then follow. Get to the point immediately, then follow through with your bases.

"It's also an extremely useful tool for thinking and organizing because it forces the reporter to sum up the point of the story in a single paragraph. Journalism students who master it and then go on to other fields say it comes in handy for writing everything from legal briefs to grant applications."
