Virgos' ruling planet is Mercury, which means they're excellent communicators. Virgos are also committed and hard-working and love to solve problems.

True to the balanced nature of their sign, they can see all sides of an issue. This has pros and cons, because although they have a well-rounded view, they may be seen as indecisive.

Demanding but also loyal, this sign is committed and loves a challenge. Determination is one of their primary traits and they have the persistance to overcome obstacles.

Scorpios like money, and they're lucky with it too. This sign will be the one who gets a great job with just one interview, or wins a tropical cruise.

Practical and realistic, goats are cautious, and can be shy and suspicious until they get to know someone.

This sign is dependable and trustworthy, although they can drive a hard bargain financially and are sometimes seen as materialstic.

Aquarius may experiment with different strategies to choose lottery numbers, drawing inspiration from license plates or phone numbers to make unique combinations. This sign isn't afraid to be a bit quirky and different.

The communal aspect of a lottery pool may be appealing - Aquarius excels at bringing people together around their projects.

This sign likes being at the top of the heap, but they prefer to see the big picture rather than concerning themselves with details. They tend to be big spenders, so they'll need to be careful about where their money goes. They should use their intellectual and self-sufficient side to help them to balance impulsivity.

With their generous nature, Pisces would use a lottery win for good, whether donating money or time to charitable causes or setting up their own foundation.

And of course Pisces would help out family and friends with their windfall - loved ones are likely to be the first things Pisces thinks about when they hear they've had a life-changing win.

But sensitive Pisces should be careful to protect themselves so they don't get drained by too many requests for money.
