RE: Why Do People Play the Lottery?

in #life6 years ago (edited)

@trafalgar - a very sensible post. never knew that 50% of Americans played the online lottery - that's surprising.

I've spent my money on many things - MLM marketing, stocks, F&O and cyrptocurrency, but lotteries are something I'd never put a cent in because the odds of winning anything there is way way too slim like you pointed out - I remember myself in school working out the odds of a lottery in a math problem and the solution convinced me that that's something I'd never put money in - that was over 20 years ago and I never did.

Thanks for the post! I do hope people would stop frittering away their money with undue expectations from lotteries.. Even if they do win, it's a one time thing - learning how to make money is far more important than winning a super lotto....
