<P> The New Zealand lottery game Big Wednesday uses a coin toss . If a player matches all 6 of their numbers, the coin toss will decide whether they win a cash jackpot (minimum of NZ $25,000) or a bigger jackpot with luxury prizes (minimum of NZ $2 million cash, plus value of luxury prizes .) The coin toss is also used in determining the Second Chance winner's prize . </P> <P> A technique attributed to Sigmund Freud to help in making difficult decisions is to toss a coin not actually to determine the decision, but to clarify the decision - maker's feelings . He explained: "I did not say you should follow blindly what the coin tells you . What I want you to do is to note what the coin indicates . Then look into your own reactions . Ask yourself: Am I pleased? Am I disappointed? That will help you to recognize how you really feel about the matter, deep down inside . With that as a basis, you'll then be ready to make up your mind and come to the right decision ." </P> <P> Danish poet Piet Hein's book Grooks includes a poem on a similar theme: </P> <P> A Psychological Tip </P>
