Lottery here in our country is being run by our government and the majority of the citizen in our country are lottery bettors for many years, I personally know people who are betting for ten or more years but they still have not hit the jackpot I wonder what these people think or if you're a lottery bettor for many years and you read that one first time bettor hit a huge jackpot in a lottery.

Will you feel envious? Ok with it? or motivated?

Filipino first-time bettor wins 15 million Dirhams in Dubai lottery (https://www.philstar.com/lifestyle/on-the-radar/2023/02/09/2243740/filipino-first-time-bettor-wins-p223-million-dubai-lottery)

I'm okay with it and here are two things that come to my mind:
- luck is random
- the very definition of a successful gambler (if he doesn't come back and gamble again)

Hopefully, he doesn't end up like most lottery winner, which is bankrupt after several years.

Holy smoke, that's 11 digits ;D

Envy for what reason? I can not feel jealous at all. But does this not look off-topic? It looks off-topic to me because this is not about gambling but about how someone feels if another person won lottery.

I guess it's better to pick numbers that's somehow related to you or your family instead of just random numbers. The only thing I'm missing in this story is how the heck did he not choose number 15 if that was really his lucky number? Any other lottery ticket buyer would have added that in the mix.

there is really a LOT of luck here in this win!

Generally speaking, winning the lottery is really hard (there was a tool in another topic that help to complete simulations... although i played for hundreds of years i never won the top prize ::) )...

envious I would say never.
ok these are important figures that give security but there is not only money in this world, there are much more precious and "priceless" things ;)

I'm kinda obvious we're just human for someone who accomplishes it on one bet while you still do it after so many years it kinda hurts your pride, but it just proved that the lottery is a game of luck and anyone can win a lottery with one bet, I also read one news online that it took him 25 years to hit the jackpot the man is already old and it's a good time to come just when he is retiring.

I am happy for everyone who wins it big,be it state lottery,sport betting,slot machines or any other game as long as they hit it big I am happy for these persons who if they are smart enough these are life changing events and should be taken with caution and not be arrogant toward the luck that favored you.

Of course it is also motivational as every time I see such stories my moral goes up when I place sport bets or when I start playing a new session in a slot machine,I have higher hopes than I would normally have without seeing such great stories.

Well, maybe there is a little jealousy to see someone who managed to hit a big jackpot in the lottery.
But we don't have to envy them long because their victory is certain.
After all, they have luck so they can only get the jackpot after years of buying the lottery.
I am not motivated to buy the lottery even though the tickets are cheap and I can budget some money to buy them weekly or monthly at a time.
So I think they really deserve to be the winner and can get the big jackpot.
If I'm interested someday, I may go ahead and buy it for fun.

He was so lucky that his first bet on the Lottery instantly won a Jackpot of 15 Million Dirhams.
Why should I feel jealous? It's common and I see so many lottery winners around the world so it's just random luck, but we keep betting on the lottery then never expect more because picking numbers is very difficult, so I'm just used to it.

We all know the lottery, the type of gambling that many people often bet on, in other words, the lottery is easy to bet on and if you get a large amount of money, don't be surprised if lottery gambling can arise various fantasies for gambling bettors.

I think everyone has lucky days and bad days, that's the main problem that is felt by every human being, for that for me someone is really big in lottery betting or not in my assessment referring to point number two, meaning: (I'm ok with it), envy and motivation are not the main factors in my assessment of that person's big win.

Even though I chose number two, it doesn't mean I'm not motivated and jealous of getting money in 1-10 hours, one day and so on.

From the very start, it's known as a luck-based game so there's no heartbreak upon hearing someone wins the lottery for the very first time and I'd be even happier to hear that knowing someone won and beat the system. LOL.

Those that have been betting in the lottery for a lot of years and haven't got a chance to win only believes on one thing. And that is winning the jackpot once and they'll break even.

Even though I wasn't the winner and there's no relation about him with me, I feel happy with his win because I can relate about big achievement feeling.

Don't feel sad with anyone else winning, maybe he's the winner now, but maybe in the next year it's your turn, just believe in yourself. I think the winner now worried about this privacy because anyone already know if he's the winner, pretty sure many people will ask money.

Definitely envious lol Who wouldn't want to make that much some people are just luckier than anyone else. And he got what he wished for in his first attempt, while others are just wishing it for years yet never got the wish.

I remember buying a lottery ticket as well thinking I might win. There are days in my life when I got extra dollars to spend and a ticket wouldn't hurt if I get the chance. Sometimes I forget about the ticket the next day. Never knowing if I won. Sometimes I check.

I would be lying if I would say I'm not jealous. Damn, what a lucky man he is! It's just so fascinating that there are extremely lucky people. I feel a little bit envious because the odds favored him so much, but I'm more than happy for him even if I don't know him. Money is very much needed nowadays so I hope he'll spend it properly so that he won't have to bet anytime soon because he have more than enough fund to sustain his needs and wants. Other people might find this motivating to bet on lottery, and there's nothing wrong with that. Just be reminded that there should be limitations in betting to avoid unmanaged finances that could lead to chaos.

No one can control the result of lottery and it is very difficult to predict it.  Winning the lottery is a matter of great luck. I have seen many people win the lottery front in my eyes but my luck never worked in the lottery and I never won the lottery. Lotteries with million dollar jackpots are not run in my country. In my country I have seen $25k max in lotteries and that was the first prize. Lottery is a form of gambling that's right but it is not predictable like all other gambling.  Lottery can be won by people who have a lot of luck

I feel like I need to bet on it too from now on mode. I will never be envious if that luck wasn't for me in the first place and I'm ok with it that they are winning something, it's just too immature to feel that envy. We all want to win or be successful even if it's just thru gambling, there's nothing wrong with it but getting envy from a first-time bettor is not that great, they deserve it if they win it. A fact, we want to be them too if they win.

I'm also okay with seeing another bettor win big, but I don't see the need to feel jealous or motivated because i'm already used to seeing others win big on crypto casinos. I guess i'm past that phase of hoping to win big that's why I don't feel anything aside from congratulating them but I understand if others feel that way when they see another bettor win big. Anyway, I have to say that this is probably the craziest beginner's luck since it's his first lottery ticket.

We all know that the lottery depends on luck, so there's no need to be jealous of the winners because they are chosen at random, so you don't have to be jealous of anyone, it will only make us more disappointed with this game, most people who see other people's success are motivated. to do so, it's the same as winning a big lottery, of course, people who see it will be motivated to buy the lottery.

After all, we cannot predict and guess the lottery, so everything is really due to luck, even though we have been playing the lottery for decades but haven't won it, it all depends on ourselves whether we want to stop or not, because we don't know our luck might come when we stop. . no one knows when luck will come

It would be fine to envy someone who is in a state or place you desire, would only be bad if your actions would be affected by it. Lottery is a game wherein people who win is quite on a ratio of 1:10,000,000 or even more which simply means that things rely on your fate and luck. If someone you know actually won the jackpot, it won't still be advisable to go all out 'coz you won't be certain that the same thing will happen on your end. It is okay to be inspired or amazed by such instance but never allow your emotions to control your actions such as letting envy and inspiration push you to gamble more or what not.

This is a pretty simple case, if I come across a news or an article about a rookie who just got lucky with their first few lottery tickets and won a huge amount the first thought that comes to my mind will be "what a lucky dude".
You can't possibly be envious of someone or something you know nothing about. If it was something that happened to someone close to me, I would have wished it was me and hope my turn comes.

If you should become envious what exactly do you stand to gain? After all lottery winning is not something that's based on skills, so you trying to be envious would only drive you to buy more tickets which would lead to more losses rather then the winnings you anticipated.

It's why that guy is very lucky to have won with his first attempt while thousands to millions of people live their lives just buying tickets and nothing happens.  I couldn't say I'm jealous as I don't buy lottery tickets but congrats to him. Such an amount certainly will change his life entirely, he said he wakes up one morning and sees a new house. Seem instantaneous that he moved to a new house.

I wouldn't really feel safe having that amount of cash in my bank account, I would probably turn them into BTC after a few days if it were me.

Why should we feel jealous of this victory because we cannot hope for beginner luck and usually those who are betting for the first time can get beginner luck to win big.
After all, everyone has different luck depending on the fate of a gambler himself.
Being motivated by other people's wins is not the right thing to do because it will only make us spend more money and lose bigger.
It's better to bet according to our wishes and do whatever makes us happy in gambling so that we realize that victory can come by itself.

Any lottery winner is essentially pulling off extremely unlikely odds and given a whole universe of time this sort of story will come up occasionally. It's not really much of a surprise and it doesn't matter if it's their first or ten thousandth lottery ticket, it just makes for a more enticing media story which is why they get a lot more coverage. Let's hope that they get lots of good financial advice and while sharing it with family, are on the look out for people who will take advantage of their new found wealth. Sometimes those people with the least experience handling money can end up losing it the quickest. It may be wise to put it into some sort of trust fund where they cannot access a portion of it for 5 years until they've figured out what they want to do with it.

I will be envious if I’m an hard core lotto player since I’m longing for long time but I will ok with it at the same time since lotto is just a game of luck and chances. My longetivity on playing doesn’t give advantage on winning the prize since there’s is very low chance of winning on this type of game especially if I’m betting only few combination per game.

Motivated? Lottery is gambling, There’s nothing I can do to increase my winning so being motivated to win is just a waste of time since this is just for entertainment.

that's my fellow countryman winning a lottery from another country and it's more than Php200 million. thats a huge amount, people kill for such money. why he is talking about safety in Dubai when the real threat could be back home?

he is very lucky to win 15M Dirhams. people spend a lifetime betting on all sorts of games without winning that much, his fairy godmother must have been watching over him while it's the leprechaun that watches us.

Not at all. I don't have to feel envious or sad. I have to take it that way because I understand gambling is about being lucky to win. Lottery games are strictly luck base even though some people still feel it is manipulated by government officials who are assigned to handle it. People believe those who win lotteries are from the families of those who manage it or there friends.

So I will still feel cool and not motivated. I could go on playing with the pace that I am playing with and wait for my luck

I wouldn't be envious on someone's win because I hope to win big like that person. If I see a gambler that won big,it gives me more hope that someday I will also win big. The problem with winning big is that the gambler might end up using his wins to gamble and would loss everything at the long run. Luck is what helps a gambler to win and lottery is one of those games that is based more on luck. Any gambler that envies someone winnings can equally go and do some drastic things to the winner. In whatever that we do in life envy shouldn't be part of it,so that we can be successful in life.  I wouldn't say that I will be motivated because I might start chasing my loss which is not good.

Wow what an unforgettable first time lucky trial and life changer. Meanwhile some people have been betting on same lottery for many years yet couldn't run into such luck. That's a simple way to remind us that luck is not fair, it can happen to anyone, anyhow.
Feeling envious would be a wrong thing to do, I'll be glad about such persons fortune and pray my own luck locks in ASAP. That's my motivation that someday is gonna be my turn and quiting isn't an option. One badass about life is that when you're happy for the success of others you're in like manner attracting same to yourself.

Lottery, is a type of betting that is very common and is liked by many people. the same way, like sports. in my neighborhood I have a few people I know who have been into this lottery gamble from time to time. I mean, they've been betting the lottery year after year. apart from the varied and relatively low ticket prices, one can bet with a small bankroll. uniquely, the rewards that can be obtained by connoisseurs, can make someone rich instantly. and IMO, this is what makes lottery always loved by its many users.

Referring to what you ask, to be honest I have never known anyone who bet on the lottery to win a big jackpot. So, I can't describe the atmosphere that happened to me. I mean, if someone I know gets a fantastic amount of lottery rewards. even so, some people I know have won lottery numbers that are quite large. as someone I know, I'm fine with that, not even the slightest bit jealous. on the contrary, I feel happiness even though I am not the person who won the lottery. besides, I'm less interested in the lottery.

I cannot tell...but I will be hopeful. One day it's going to be my turn if I do not give. I know it is based purely on luck but then like they say, you miss all the chances you do not take. If I keep playing the lottery, one day, I am going to win big too. These would be my thoughts.

And if I am wee bit superstitious, I may start to do more good to others around me to attract good fortune or good luck that will enable me win the lottery.

Lotteries can be humorous. Lotteries - what's up? Wild money-losing games. Hope and despair cycle forever. Could the insurmountable odds entice us? That jackpot is enticing. My first thought would be, "Well, could they BE any luckier?" More unpredictable? Lotteries are chocolates, friend. Who wins, when, and how? Why not newbie? Wild card, dice roll. The newcomer may get lucky. Lotteries are crazy, pal.

Oh, how unfair that a novice walks in and wins the jackpot while we've been betting for years? Is this chance game more beautiful and cursed? Isnt it unfair?

Can I be sure lotteries should be fun? Why not gamble for pleasure if you can afford to lose? If the notion of someone else winning makes you envious or hateful, reconsider. Could we clarify that the house always wins in gambling and the winner is generally the one who knows when to quit?

If im the one who had been making out bets for a decade but still havent been able to hit up some jackpot then it cant really be avoided for you not to be that envious on what those first time bettor do able to hit up

jackpot while you had been betting for almost your entire life? thats totally unfair you would really be saying into yourself but well this is how life as it should be. If your lucky then you do hit jackpots but if not then you wouldn't. There are really things which are really that supposed to be for you no matter on what are the things you've been doing but as long the fate would really be dictating then
you would be surely be able to hit up those good things.

Motivation? I dont really care but it doesnt mean that it would  really be weakening me out on making out some lottery bets just because there's someone who is a first bettor does able to win.

I feel like winning the lottery is incredibly difficult and it requires an extraordinary amount of luck. That's why some gamblers spend years trying to hit the jackpot without success. It's something that is very hard but not impossible to achieve.

In my country, a few people have actually hit the jackpot and won a huge amount of money. I'm talking about a sum of money that could sustain them for their entire lives.

I occasionally try my luck at playing the lottery, but to be honest I have never won it. However, I don't feel envious of those who have won because I believe it's a matter of destiny. It actually motivates me to keep trying, and I will bet on my luck again. If it happens, it happens and if not, that's alright because at least I gave it a try. :)

This is exactly the same thing I actually stressed on my previous post about "successful gamblers not being regarded as addicted gamblers" ...I said it on that post that peeps winning big on Thier first deposit sometimes aren't actually gambling addict...
For this case, I'll say there's no motivation to feel - cus I believe some things are just meant to be, honestly... "It normally falls at a table where it's least expected" - so if that's the case, then skills and experience has only 40% role to play, compared to LUCK.
I know for sure that alot of peeps are gonna get motivated at this point and the casino's pool will be filled up.

Why we should feel envious or motivated? It is purely luck, there is no way to get the same luck although we play multiple times. I never feel envious/motivated when I read news about winning jackpot on luck-based games, it is their luck and it is a random thing.

By the way, I think we mustn't feel motivated because it harms us. When we feel motivated, we may try harder to chase the winning. We all know that more attempts never guarantee for the winning in betting /lottery. It just wastes money and we may spend all money without getting anything. Just think realistically that it is about the luck, it is not about the hard work.

Well, I am. But then only for a moment and that's about it. I've never tried to think past of that since, well I've tried a few times, but it never really ended that well. Just a self-swallowing kind of pity that would probably never end, so I just move on. I'd probably think how lucky for them for about a minute or two then I'm done.

Though I guess in the first place I wouldn't exactly feel this that strongly, lotteries aren't really a thing for me, not really hate it, just not my type of thing. It's just a money sink that doesn't guarantee anything at all. Sure, it's a game-changer, but the odds of you being one of them? Absolutely minuscule. I do try it sometimes, but never with the expectation that something will actually happen, mostly just for the sake of trying it out since it got into my eye.

I'm happy for them, typically (if I think they are a good human being).  Of course like I imagine with most people do, I always wish that it would have happened to me, but then again I rarely play the lottery as when I see people constantly throwing dollars at lotto's /lotto scratch off tickets etc I just think wow what a waste of money overall.. I would rather put a few bucks on a stock or a crypto coin or bitcoin as I know the chance to profit is much better. 

But, you can't win if you don't play!

Envious? yes, Ok with it? yes, Motivated? no,

I'd be envious since it was his first time betting and he won. That being said, although I am envious, I wouldn't have any bad feelings towards him. I mean, why would I have negative feelings towards him, only toxic people would have those kinds of feelings. also, knowing the chance of winning you have when betting on lotteries, I don't think I can get motivated even if there are stories like this.

anyway, Congratulations to him this is a life-changing win!

Does anyone know how much money he earned converted into US dollars will be? i read the article, it's an article from months ago, to be more precise it's an article from february of this year, also according to the article he said he's not afraid to post his face, but the question is how many tickets has he already bought, how much money he has already spent and how long he has been buying lottery tickets. many people I know buy lottery tickets in my country, there are many companies that do big money raffles in my country, but the problem is that I don't see the winners in public so I don't see the winners in public

I don't believe in lotteries in my country, I get the impression that nobody wins and they take a person to pretend they won and with that entice more people to continue buying tickets, and that's why it's taking the opportunity to answer OP's questions I don't I don't feel anything, I don't feel jealous of the winners, because I don't believe most of the people who supposedly appear as winners, I see them being fake. I'm sorry but I don't trust and I don't believe in the lottery and its fake winners. and it's true that there are cases of real winners that people can see them on the streets

I'm ok with it and at the same time motivated, lotteries are luck based you just never know when you will hit the jackpot that's one of the motivations of die-hard lottery bettors, so they keep betting every single day because nobody knows when will luck falls on them.
In third-world countries, this has been their people's shot to fulfill their dreams for a small amount they have a shot to fulfill their dreams.

I would say that I’m happy for him/her. They beat the odds to get a life changing amount of money and it didn’t take them a lifetime of throwing money away to do it. The negative part of this situation is that there are probably plenty of other people who will read this story and then try duplicating it, costing them quite a bit of money in the process.

And those are people who do choose up "Envious" & "Motivated". They would really be trying out to mimic on what happened here and assuming that they could really get the same luck on what that
person had able to obtain. This is why its always been that ideal that you should really be that contented on what you do currently been doing with your lottery betting means and dont really
make yourself that get desperate because if you do have this kind of behavior then for sure you would really be buying more tickets.

Luck is something that wont really be on anyone, there's always that one person who would really take it all and this is the time that we do say that he's/she's extremely lucky on hitting
up that jackpot on a single bet which this is really that very rare i should say.It is really just that amazing that there are people on this world whose been born lucky
which this isnt something that we could see on everyday.

I agree that the majority of lottery bettors will be motivated and envious in fact there's a study that whenever someone hit a huge jackpot the lottery betting tends to increase, so far in the poll I place the, I'm ok with it got the highest vote, but I want to be honest since I place a bet from time to time, I feel envious and motivated, it's possible but it's very rare for a first time bettor to hit a jackpot, sometimes you will feel sorry and think that betting in the lottery is not your thing, but you will be back betting and hoping that you will be the next to hit the jackpot.

I'll probably be okay with it. After all, winning a lottery is purely about luck. Even if you maintain a number combination and bet on it every single day for decades, your probability of winning remains very low.

In a 6/45 lottery, you've only got one out of 8,145,060 chances. In 6/58, that would be one out of 40,475,358 chances. In percentage, that's 0.00000247%.

Arithmetic is the reason why I'm not a fan of lotteries. Unless the entire universe wants you to win, you're just throwing away money.

I am not a lottery bettor but one thing comes to my mind if someone who is betting on a lottery for more than a decade and did not hit any jackpot wins is that person would be envious and at the same time ok with it.  It will also spark motivation because he will surely thinks that if he keeps on buying tickets, the time would come when he will hit the jackpot one day.

The thought of hitting the jackpot one day is the great motivation of lottery tickets buyer so we cannot remove the fact that they are hoping that they will get lucky one day so the news of someone hitting the jackpot gives them more motivation.

Just Ok with it. The probability is too low for any of us to get it. What happens is that there are so many millions of people buying lottery tickets every day, that eventually someone will win. Not always, however, because most of the time in lotteries like Euromillions the jackpot doesn't hit anyone and the jackpot is accumulated for the next one.

The fact is that I play the lottery from time to time, knowing that the probability of winning the jackpot is almost 0, because if you win it can change your life and the price of a ticket is very low. But that's all.

15 million dirhams is equivalent to 4 million dollars, which is huge, the guy must be very lucky for winning such a big amount only for the first time, I would probably faint out of happiness if something like that happens to me, lol, but jokes apart, he does have great luck and his family must be very happy seeing him get success like this, he can probably live the rest of his life in luxury if he uses that money in the right way, start some businesses and eat while sitting at home.

Anyway, coming back to the topic, I don't think I would envy him even if I have been buying tickets for the same lottery for years and didn't manage to win anything at all because it's all about luck and if I was as lucky as him, I would definitely win at least once out of all these years but it didn't happen which means my luck never worked for me.

Of course, I will feel envious, especially if we are lottery bettors who have been doing it regularly for years and haven't produced anything exciting that will be quite upsetting, but it can also be motivating because it means that there is always a chance to get the jackpot even though it is quite a difficult thing to do achieved by anyone because the lottery is luck-based gambling and no one in the world can know when luck will come to him other than continuing to buy lotteries so that the chances of getting the jackpot are still there.
But I am not a lover of the lottery because it is not a type of gambling that can give pleasure unless you can get it while the chances of getting it are very small because of the many competitors, especially if we are people who can only buy very few tickets, and in my country, there is no lottery so if people want to buy they have to go through online through gambling sites from other countries.

The Lottery is all about the luck of the draw.... not about the time that you participated. I always say, you cannot win the Lottery, if you do not buy a ticket... and that first timer bought a ticket.  ::)

How will it help you to be jealous or angry about this? It should motivate you that anyone can win the Lottery, even if you only bought tickets for the first time. (It just shows you that it is random and that your buying history does not factor into the way that tickets are drawn)  ;)

I would be fine if I saw a beginner buy a lottery ticket and get a very large jackpot. what am i jealous for when the luck that everyone has is very different maybe he is lucky in the lottery but I am lucky in sports betting or slots this is fair to me and no need to be jealous of other people's wins.
to me seeing other people's triumphs is like a child whining when he sees his friend having something extravagant.

btw, I personally don't like the lottery, I rarely buy lottery tickets, so it's impossible for me to be jealous of what other people get from lottery tickets.

Why should I feel envy about another guy being lucky? Luck is luck, either you have it or you don't.
I definitely don't feel motivated by such news. I have always been skeptical about my luck and I don't believe that I'm going to win the lottery jackpot. There's a reason why lotteries are called "tax for the stupid". I have bought lottery tickets in the past with zero success.
My mother always urges me to play the lottery. I don't know why. I guess that she has that delusional hope, that I'm going to win someday.
Playing the lottery every day actually doesn't increase your chances of winning the jackpot. There was a Romanian mathematician, who had found the formula for winning almost every lottery, but it requires buying lots of tickets at once(which is big investment).
I don't remember his name.

It is natural or normal to feel envy/jealous especially if we have tried for so many years but win nothing while some people win it in their first few tries. The most important thing is that our feeling should not lead us into something bad such as pushing ourselves to buy more tickets than we used to do (exceeding our limit). By the way I'm not a lottery lover, I did buy it several times in the past but I could not really enjoy this game so I stopped it.

When it comes to that kind of luck there is nothing we can do except to accept it, obviously I think that is something anyone would wish it could happen to them as who does not like the idea of earning a huge amount of money by just buying a lottery ticket? However we cannot control our luck, and while some people are incredibly fortunate, there are also many other people that have very bad luck through their life and a lucky event like this will never happen to them.

       -  He's lucky if that's the case, I hope he can use the money he won in Dubai properly. Because I have seen and watched many people here in our country who won the lottery who also ended up with nothing, and also went back to being poor.

After all, he can put money in the stock market, invest in real estate, and build businesses that people will always look for, and so on, as long as it goes to something that can produce profit, not something that can only be used for things that are not can produce earnings.

Yes, it's true, because the lottery relies on luck, there are many cases regarding the lottery, even people who buy lots of lottery tickets don't necessarily win, even people who only buy one lottery ticket can win, after all, this game is also not based on how old he is playing the lottery, it's just maybe luck. there is no one on his side and it falls more to new users who may have just bought their first lottery, there is no need to be jealous either with anyone's victory that luck comes to anyone no matter you are an old or new player.

Luck comes to the right person, so there's no one to blame for that, still whoever is lucky he is the winner, buy a ticket don't expect a win so you don't get too emotional when you don't win and get it. it is the way that matters

Not feeling any envy and not motivated as well especially since it's the lottery so everyone has got a little chance to win and its randomly perfect. Am I okay with it? Yes.
Definitely, I am okay with people winning the lottery tickets and that's much better, and having the sense of satisfaction to see people win the lottery instead of all of us losing.
And much more amazing if the bettor won his very first time betting on the lottery. That's already history for himself.

Can you name other 20 lottery winners like this man? There are millions of people that are into gambling and this man got lucky, there is no other way to explain things than this, so this is nowhere going to motivate me a bit, I will drop motivation for discipline anytime any day, gambling is a total game of luck, I don't feel left out or feel missing out because one person made millions from. gambling, it's good for him but I wish that many lives are changed just like him, gambling is the slowest way to achieve anything and it's better to avoid trying to get anything from gambling, I get more unexpected surprises when I gamble because I was not prepared or expecting it and I like it this way.

Hope drives lotteries and other luck-based activities. Even with long odds, hope can bring joy and bitterness. Im sceptical. Unlike lottery, which is completely random, investing and gambling can be informed by information, strategy, and odds. Lottery numbers are exciting, but well-executed investing schemes are intellectually satisfying. Lotteries favour the wealthy. Its unfair and depressing for the regular Joe. While 'what if' scenarios may make you envy the winners, remember that for every winner, there are many losers.

You speak with so much conviction that there is no positivity in gambling but some other people will also doubt your reasoning maybe when they look at what they have achieved through gambling. I believe however that gambling favour few like lottery winner but it leaves much more people in penury. I agree however with you on your ending part as to unexpected surprise. Yes if you gamble without so much high hopes in it to become your source of income, you are likely to be hitting some difference in your account probably because you are taking all the measures for right ways to gamble, like gambling as you can afford to lose, not gambling always etc .

Will definitely be jealous if they win it the first time and I am a long-time lottery bettor. I mean, that's just kind of unfair right? Just imagine how much money I spent and the effort of going back and forth to the lottery outlet even if it rains or it's in the maximum heat of the sun and then one person will get it the first time which I doubt will go back and bet the next time.
But I am not a fan of that gambling habit. My Grandpa is. Actually, that's when I learned how much money he is spending every day just for it and I don't want to copy that because it's a waste of money. The percentage of winning the jackpot is just too low for me that I'd rather bet on something else for just x2 and try to win it every day and make profits.
Up until now, I don't understand why people still keep their hopes up on making that jackpot.

Maybe I won't be jealous because the lottery is based on luck, so I understand that first time bettors can get a big jackpot in the lottery. I don't feel motivated to keep buying lottery tickets just knowing that there are bettors who can win a lot. It was everyone's luck and everyone's luck would be different. So there's no point in us feeling jealous. It's better to try to play the lottery by buying as many tickets as possible and seeing the results later.

I supposed I would just be okey with it, after all, lotteries are supposed to be random so theoretically that person who won at their first time had the same chances a person who continues to play for many years had.

There is nothing constructive on feeling envy on the luck of others and I do not think other's luck is the reason which is supposed to lead someone to partake on gambling or playing lottery, because people are supposed to have low expectations while wagering money; and keeping in mind the wins of others only makes harder to keep realistic expectations.

Im okay with this on which if you are lucky then you're lucky but if not then you lose. This is the basic principle on gambling world or something that you do make out bets on which it would really be that giving out those
probabilities or chances of anyone who do make out bets on having that kind of hit or jackpot.Doesnt matter whether you are a first time bettor or a decade bettor  ;D. Chances or odds would really be that the same
but literally different basing up on the tickets that you have bought but of course when extreme and all the luck in the world would be on your side then even having a single ticket and on first time bet would really be having the chances for you to hit up the jackpot.

For sure there are lots who do feel envious on this regard but there's nothing we can do and just accept the fate because thats how things goes when it comes to gambling or betting.
Chances are chances and lucky would be lucky. For us who had been betting for so long then there's no assurance that we could able to hit in our lifetime.

But the luck of getting a prize in a lottery ticket for everyone will be different and not everyone can get lucky at the same time. We depend on luck when buying lottery tickets, so we have to realize that the lottery tickets we buy may not necessarily win. So it's better if we just have fun buying lottery tickets and not think about winning so we just let the luck take care of itself. And if we lose, we won't think about it and if we still want to buy another lottery ticket, we can buy it with the money we can afford.

Envious of their reckless spending, and lasciviousness that comes with winning huge amount of money unexpectedly without any financial discipline? A big capital NO. Well I won't blame them. If I didn't know what I know now on financial prudence, I would probably squander my first lottery money on vanities and bling blings, wine and women.  We should talk about first time sport bettors who also won big.

I don't envy him because most of such winners lose the money in just a few years. You can read about lottery winners years after, there are many articles about them.
It's very hard to manage such wealth in s smart way because you haven't had to work for it and aren't used to being rich. People who suddenly become rich want to show wealth and try everything, so they buy expensive properties, not knowing that they are also expensive to maintain. They buy luxury cars and cry when they have to pay taxes and fix them...
I wish this guy all the best and hope he hires professionals to manage his wealth.

I feel indifferent. Here in the Philippines I came across some news back in 2010 of some Overseas Filipino Worker who got back to the Philippines, and out of some funny joke he tried to make a bet on our version of the Powerball. Lo and behold he won if I'm not mistaken around 740 million Pesos back then which in USD was probably around more or less 15 million bucks, and he did it all while being a first time bettor too. I never felt anything about it, didn't feel inspired to take the chance and make the bet in hopes of actually landing the jackpot, never felt envy that he got a little less over a billion pesos just from jotting down a few numbers here and there. I didn't feel proud and happy for him too cause at the end of the day he's not gonna give anyone he doesn't know a piece of the pie.

I don't get why people are stoked about other people winning the lottery, it's one thing to celebrate other people's success but it's another to actually congratulate people who lucked it out, and to top it all off someone that's most likely you never even knew your whole life.

Nothing can be done, the person is lucky, and it's his fate that bring him the winning combinations, I will personally feel jealous but still nothing will affect him as I don't know him personally or if in case I know him, then I'll be glad to congratulate him/her with his huge luck that he / she experienced a lifetime change for sure with that huge amount of money.

In terms of action, I'll still be the same as how I choose to bet. Maybe even in that longer time, the chance of winning is still the same for everyone. We never know when is our time, just keep believing..

Hitting jackpots is highly determined by luck. I have never also won big in my life but some people I know have. Man is naturally jealous and self-centered. When someone wins big there is sometimes a feeling of "It should be me" or "Why was it not me?". But we should learn to suppress this feeling because it is not proper. I have felt disappointed for not winning big but I have never envied someone for winning big. Envy can bring evil thoughts which can lead to crimes like stealing or scam. Rather I celebrate with the person and even share drinks and dance together. And we should also understand that it is not everyone that will win big. Some people will just earn an average income from gambling and should be okay with that.

lottery is pure luck, there's no strategy on this luck-based game. so am just glad for those first time bettors to win. that's their time to win big. some even are claiming they dreamt of the winning numbers, but who knows?
not envious about their fate but happy for them. if you are a long time bettor, usually, you have numbers that you are taking care of and bet them over and over again.

Lottery is one of the most common games or gambling on which you would be needing that extreme luck for you to win and its not really something new that there are bettors who do make bet on first time but able to win
but this is really that a rare case actually because most of winners of these lotteries are those long time bettors or been a while on doing so. It is really just not avoidable for you not to mind about on how he do that?
Extreme luck does really the main thing needed for you to hit up those combinations whether you are first timer or long time bettor then it wont really be that a significant reason.It is really just that amazing to look at
that there's someone who do really able to change up their lives on just a single bet, this do shows that people could win up on a single but this one would really be motivating other people on doing the same thing.
Its never that a good idea on doing so because trying out to mimic yourself on winning lottery on one bet would really be just making you desperate and would bet even more and having no control. Take this situation
as a normal stuff on lottery, it is really just that rare or unusual on having those single bet winning or being first time but well thats life which there are people who are born lucky on this world.

Lotteries are a game of luck. If a first-timer tried his first bet on a lottery and won, I will feel surprised at how he managed to get the lucky numbers than for me to be envious.
What's the need to be jealous when I know that I can't take away the lottery win from the guy that won the jackpot.
His win will rather motivate me to keep trying harder until I win mine. But if I don't, no problem. I will take it as the lottery luck is not for me.

Good on them. They must be thrilled getting that amount of money and never have to work ever again - that is if they know how to spend their money and invest it so that they are still generating passive income. Even if I win the lottery, I know for a fact that I'd still be going to work as that's the only thing that's really keeping me going and waking up in the morning. Also, that's where my social life revolves around unfortunately. I'm okay with the amount of money I'm bringing home but it must be nice to have that much money and help people whenever possible and splurge every now and then.

I'm a lottery bettor for several years - the one that runs by the government.

Personally, I don't associate any emotions with my lottery betting activity. Simply just placing a bet and that's it. If nailed, then good. If not, then fine. Expecting too much will just create disappointment. I understand clearly the so-called "politics" behind the lottery here but I don't care. I mostly bet on 2 digits and 6 digits and already won minor prizes several times.

I don't even have a favorite number set and just pick the "Lucky Pick" option most of the time.


Again, personally for me, doesn't really care. Not the first time though to happen in the history of the national lottery here that's why many people are already used to seeing that particular situation where a first-time bettor won a huge jackpot. Lucky after all, simple as that.

Whether it is first time or we've been part of the game for a long, the luck one hold is the major thing. Big winning always gives the hope of earning big out of gambling. For this reason we were able to see good number of people who aren't much into gambling activities. The best part, rich people aren't the majority which makes way for common man winning easily.

Just usual lottery news for me since there are many first-time bettors already who won big. It's also easy to say and claim that these people are first timer bettors but in reality, already spend lots of money in the lottery and now it's now their time to shine.

These people are just really lucky as winning the lottery is really damn hard that it's even more chance to get hit by lightning than winning huge in the lottery.

Will I feel motivated? envious? Of course, no. I just hope that someday, even at 0.000001% chance, I will become one of those big winners too. I don't mind my security and safety as what matter first is, I should win first lol. While betting in the lottery, I hope my spend money here really goes for what the lottery is intended to in the first place.

Yeah, we're able to see those that have dived in to gambling and spent lesser time and then they've been winning jackpots in the lottery.

That's the best part and if it's not yet our turn to win, we only have to cheer for the victory of the others because that's how it goes.

They might be at their luckiest moments for winning for the very first time and we're not yet there. And that is okay for someone who is happier to see people win.

I'm not going to envy those who win big lottery bets, and I'm fine too because I often hear about gamblers who get big wins.
Togel is a pure game of luck and maybe someone who gets a big win, luck is on his side, and we also don't know exactly how much capital was spent before.
and I'm also not motivated, because motivation will only make me curious and keep betting to get big wins, which actually only makes me accept more losses.

of the three I feel fine, there are no problems and I also feel happy if there are gamblers who get big wins. And hopefully those who get big wins can use their money well and wisely.

Is it in gambling there is a thing called "Beginners Luck"? because I think  that man is truly a great example of this calling .

My thoughts in this kind of chance is pure luck and he really deserves it , I will not felt envious instead will be shocked because like me that had out lot of money in Lottery since younger time and till now never got to win even thousand bucks and here a first time bettor will take this winning?

Not entirely true though, I humbly would love to add that you can win if you don't play ...this happens when you're a signal giver 😉. You sell signals and have over 90% always coming out well...then people will patronize you and their win becomes your win. I am sure you get my point 😊

You don't have to feel envious if you understand how life works, we have those that are extremely lucky in life and we have others that haveto struggle or just like everyone else that life isn't fair to them. The users that won the lottery might just be one of the lucky ones.

Seeing him win the lottery will motivate me as I know that winning is possible and it won't stop me from keep playing believing I might have the opportunity to win one day just as he did. If I become envious and quit, it could be I was closer to winning but my emotion prevent it.

Two things might happen here, the first time winners mightn't know how to manage the money since he didn't struggle to get it. He might think he'll be lucky again so he'll useless the money he received but because I was putting efforts into winning, I won't mismanaged mine.

I think if you are a signal giver, of course you have to play to find examples of analysis, for example selling signals to other people, of course you have to analyze with your own account and play to find out your ability to give signals, that can't be said not to play, that's right that there will be no win if you don't play so don't think that signaling is also called not playing.

So the bottom line is that don't play if you keep failing because you don't get lucky in the lottery, after all, this is a game of luck, no one even thinks that people who have lots of tickets can win, it could be that beginners who have just bought lottery tickets can win jackpots compared to other old players. play the lottery. playing there will be victory but if not playing there will be no victory.

I do think that once you do something over the years, it becomes part of your routine where you do not expect anything from it. Betting the lottery for years is something that is done routinely- people will not win this if they do not continuously try and attempt to do it.

While this may be the case, I would definitely envious if a first-time bettor tried the lottery and won the jackpot. But at the end of the day, those are the odds and numbers do not lie. Even if the chances of you winning the lottery is astronomically low, I would, still, do and try it!

People feel they have found their world in betting on the lottery because they see the big prizes provided by the lottery agent, so they still bet on the lottery. Maybe they keep trying because they haven't been able to get the prize, so after years of trying, they can get the prize. But if they haven't gotten the jackpot from the lottery, they may still continue buying lottery tickets. Feelings of envy from seeing bettors try the lottery and win the jackpot for the first time are normal because at least it was experienced by other people. So maybe that's why many people keep buying lottery tickets because they want to hit the jackpot.

Yeah! Was talking of with view of an already experienced bettor who's kinda retired 😂. But I get it you're also right

And that's much better as luck always depends from each individual, even it's just a first time or the only time that a person place his bet for a combination in a lottery game, once that lucky combinations show up there's no one who can accurately say that there's something bout the bet but the only explanation is luck that backup the winning combination.

I'll go with you as making happy for someone who manage to succeed a life-changing opportunity, no one knows when will that same luck will come and bring you the same fate or even a lesser one but a life-changing win from a lottery is really something for sure.

i was very excited when i heard that someone won a big prize in the lottery, it was truly once-in-a-lifetime luck...

In my country too, there are many lottery bettors who have even been lottery bettors for decades but have never won the jackpot, the lottery has become the hope of many people who might be able to change their lives 180 degrees in 1 night, with those expectations that have kept them going for so many years. 

i don't do lotto very often, i'm a bit of a fad and only place a few times in 1 month, maybe one day i will win big prize, that's really my dream lol.

This is what we called luck and destined to win the jackpot, imagine the emotion of many bettors after reading this, I'm sure many will be very envois about this one. Personally, I'm not since I'm not betting it lottery that much and I'm not expecting to win as well, its like a million of probability for me to beat the system. This is not the first time that a Filipino won the lottery in other countries, its good that they are finding their luck there and living a good life too, hope they will spend the money correctly.

I guess that is one way to look at it, but there's one thing I don't understand. If you sure know the signals and the likelihood of the combination, why don't you bet in the lottery yourself? Doesn't really make sense to me if you're just handing signals but is not engaging directly towards the lottery as you're only committed to get a cut from the ones who have win from your signals.

Yeah! You got my point right! Oh yeah to your question... it's almost very likely that such an one would probably be faced with situation that restrict him from taking active part in the lottery , perhaps home issues..the wife is gonna k*ll the husband if she discovers... every dime that leaves the family account would be accounted for...or perhaps religious reasons... actually many things can ..the world is full of so many baffling situations and to passively participate he'd rather give friends who he can trust to return the favour such signals.

Life change in a single lottery win. It is time for him to act wise and use it in the right way to make his life better. Some people easily get into the ease of life and spend lavishly and finds it hard to live after some time period. Same time he should also keep it secure as he can receive threats. In my country a person who won lottery hide himself for weeks and later the reason behind was the relatives who kept disturbing him with money request. Winning a lottery is enjoyable and only with our activities we can make it the best.

Some may be envious of this person, however a great deal of the lottery winners end up wishing they never did, some buy all kind of useless stuff and lose all their money in a few years, others cannot control themselves and end up being addicted to drugs or other substances and from that moment on all kind of bad things happen to them, or like in the example you give their family and friends begin to ask for loans they have no intention to pay, then the lottery winner gets tired of their attitude and they lose a few relationships as they are not willing to keep giving them money anymore.

If you are that someone who do end up on having no financial management then for sure you would really be losing all of those winnings in due time if you arent mindful on utilizing those amounts on

putting it on a business or investment.You would definitely be regreting that kind of decision or action you had been made because we know that it isnt really just that you cant be able to get back
those money once you have been able to spent. There are lots of stories on which into those individuals who had really lost back on what they had won in lottery on which if they had just that been wise
on managing those winning amounts or funds then they might have able to change up their lives completely without needing on going back because of what they did.

Its normal that you would really be having that feeling on being envious on what you had seen considering that there are lots of bettors who had been betting for how many years but
until now, you didnt or wasnt able to hit up the jackpot. Financial management would really vary on each individual.

For a long time bettor I think they will feel envious but for those who are not betting seriously or haven't tried betting in lottery yet, they are okay with it and maybe motivated to do the same thing? That bettor is so lucky. He won a relatively huge amount even if he is only betting for the first time. I guess that is what they call a beginners luck. It happened to me a lot of time after I signed up and try my first few bets in an online casino.

The only difference is the amount that I won. They are not that huge enough. It might be a kind of lure for an online casino but for a local lottery? I don't think so because they are giving millions here. Even if you come back often, it will still be hard for you to spend all of you winnings back in the game.

Seeing someone winning that kind of amount makes me happy, as long as they can utilize it entirely and be smart about how they will be handling it. A lot of people are having a hard time because of mishandling. Those who have won and lost after a few months don't have any plans with it, and I think that's pretty common. It's just a waste of energy to be jealous of it or something. You cannot do something about it.

I have read somewhere that if you buy lottery tickets and the government controls them, it is somehow a subtle way of "giving" hope to the poor and collecting money from them without noticing it. It's something that I read the other day.

I will truly feel motivated to continue to bet consistently if I had the opportunity to do so because I had the belief that I will also hit the jackpot in the nearest future, lottery is a game of luck, all participants has the slightest and equal chances of winning or hitting the jackpot, envying a jackpot winner wouldn't change anything rather iit will encourage bettors to be convinced that winning the jackpot is real therefore I will continue to bet as usual provided that the money spent on betting is what I can afford to lose and I will avoid placing a multiple bets to increase my chances of hitting the jackpot just to avoid being addicted.

Well, it depends. It is not necessarily only the poor who play lottery. I have had people in my family who I would consider to be middle class and they played lottery now and then through the years. I would say that if a government is behind a lottery and one can be sure the profit of the lottery is behind used to improve the life of people (instead the government stealing the funds) then I would be okey with it. I would even participate and consider it a small donation for a good cause.
In the end, one is supposed to be a responsible adult and learn how to properly manage one's finances, specially if one is going through harsh times. Of course, it is easier saying than doing it, I am aware of it.

Comparison is the thief of joy, you need to make your own way in life and be content with your choices that come from that. You should seek to pick up clues and advice on how people became successful, then utilize them to build your own path. Success is not always about being super rich, like gaining millions from a lottery win, but finding a state of peace and even achieving an average income that you can survive on. Financial freedom is great as well, but it takes a long time for anyone to acquire by themselves. Some people get lucky in life, but you should always assume that you will have to grind your way over a long time period and only then might you get happy bonuses along the way.

Despite the hearsays that the government is manipulating the lottery in our country, I still have my trust on it since it's also sustaining a charity sweepstake in our country which has been helping a lot of people in need. Despite the issues, I still believe that a portion of our bet could have a good purpose.
Yes, lottery is for everyone since each ticket is affordable. Many people in our aread has been betting for a long time because of the hope that in one right number combination, their lives could changed instantly. It might be false hope to others but it's a considered chance for most betters.

Gambling is majorly based on luck that is why we could see someone that had been gambling for many years still yet not making a good profits from gambling. Someone new might start gambling on a particular sport of game and start making good profits. Gambling does not know whether a person had been in the field for long or not, anything can happen anything that is why we should be ready to follow the latest trend so that we can am earn money from the games we are paying or betting on.

Gambling is for fun and something that would really be heavily relying with luck on which it would really be just that understandable that it would really be needing up that kind of approach on which you arent really that

making yourself that too optimistic on the time that you do make out some bets specially on lottery.You would really be finding the situation on OP had been stated on having that first time bettor at the same time it did really able to hit up a jackpot on lottery which is something that it is really that very rare considering that most of these winners are really the ones who had been long time betting before they do able to hit up
plus its not something that you could really just simply be able to do so. Lotteries does really need that extreme luck for you to win up and it is really just cant really be that avoided that you would really got jealous into those people who had been able to hit up with their first time.

Well, there's nothing we can do about it on which there are really people who are really that extremely lucky on this world and the thing we could only do is to be happy on what they have achieved.
Getting envious is normal but well its a common reaction.

Many people are inspired by the successes of others and are looking to replicate that for themselves. I get that, but if you'll be inspired on the success of a gambler then it's something that you should drop immediately. No one really succeeds in gambling that much, except for those who are using their luck too much, or have found a loophole that isn't getting patched any time soon. Good for the lottery winners in getting a big pot, though hopefully they learn that the money they received isn't limitless and it's going to run out soon due to mishandling and overindulging.

Even if you trust your government held lottery, ideally they would try to implement a system which is trustless and easy to verify by anyone I test in the country, more transparency could be translated to more people convinced the game is not rigged against them they could even feel more encouraged to give the lottery a chance.

I am personally more in favor of state owned lotteries rather than private ones, because I am interested in the positive social impact those can have on economically deprived communities. If gambling income can be used for a greater good beyond the sole accumulation of wealth, even better.

Your point about the government controlling and manipulating lotteries for their own benefit might be right but I think people shouldn't just buy tickets blindly without checking if there is enough transparency from the authorities managing the lotteries. If they don't disclose the winners publicly or don't give away any big rewards to anyone, people would eventually come to know about this scam and they should avoid buying tickets for such lotteries.

Poor people usually use a portion of their hard-earned money in these lotteries only with the hope that maybe someday their destiny will change and they will win a life-changing amount through one of these lotteries, but if governments manipulate the results only to have the money, that's too bad.

People who buy lottery tickets should be able to manage expenses to buy lottery tickets because they have to make ends meet besides buying lottery tickets. At the same time, the government may give hope to its people to buy the lottery and pay taxes on the winners.

But if anyone thinks buying the lottery could change their life, that's up to them. They must be able to accept the fact that it will not be easy because lottery tickets require luck to be the winner. And when there are people around us who really manage to win their lottery tickets, we don't need to feel jealous because it means their luck has come and allows them to win a lot of money.

Nothing about the lottery?

It is based on luck, that is true. But in the lottery, there are also theories that they may have been altering the winning numbers so that it will target a set of numbers that will have no winners, or if there is, it is just a ghost. So, I don't think luck applies to that if there is cheating happening inside, although that's not proven yet.
Envy will be the first emotion that a long-time lottery bettor will feel when he/she discovers that a first-time bettor would win the jackpot. The unfairness will be the first that will come out of their mind. I mean, that is how I will feel. And I bet there will be gossip about the winner having a connection with the lottery owner/management themselves.

Responsible gamblers can always manage their finances so that money that is also used to meet daily needs is not spent on gambling.
Even though there are several lotteries drawn every day if one can limit it and only use a small portion of the money then the possibility of losing large amounts of money will not occur.
In my opinion, any risks experienced by a gambler depend on how they can control themselves and finances.
After all, lottery tickets aren't that expensive either.

Risks is everything that circulates the space. Lotteries are frequently associated with good luck, and there are numerous possibilities to uncover in the system. It's simpler to place a wager on lottery games in the hopes of hitting the winning numbers. Gambling is perhaps one of the few enjoyable activities left in our otherwise dull lives. Gambling is not a regular activity that has been isolated by investors; rather, it is continuous and ongoing in the system. It has remained the principal location where most gamblers make good money year after year.

State owned lottery will be much better choice to us since we can assure that winnings can be surely gotten by the winner and we can say that there's less evil since they might afraid to do some manipulative techniques. Compare to private owned lotteries where manipulation is possible to happen. I can't say anything about its proceeds since its out of our line but maybe we should look at the fairness since in government owned we can see that all is fair with them.

why do I care actually ? it is their faith and luck so who am i to feel bad or something ? what I only  see is that people who have this luck should understand to spend and use their money or else they will end up losing everything in the future.
actually never that I heard something similar to this in my community or even sometimes from people that I knew but if this is true(that this is truly their first bet) then this is the prove of what we called in gambling about Beginners Luck.

There is no real motivation behind gambling and please don't come up with one, this person is just so lucky, remember that there are millions of people buying lottery tickets every time and they are still yet not as lucky as this man is.

I don't care or have a desire for such dreams, I believe in hard work more than anything, because grinding so hard will get you there more than buying fantasy, I don't want my journey to be like a dice game.

I hope this lucky man use his money very well, only one in a million have this type of opportunity he has, I have read about lottery winners going back on the street because of mismanagement of their money, and I hope the same won't happen to this fella.

It actually depends on the government, the society and the country where a state-owned lottery would be held. For example, here in Latin America there are political administrations which I would not feel any confidence with. If the government of Venezuela decided to launch their own lottery, about half of the population would immediately say it is just an scheme for those in power to pocket even more illicit money or a scheme to launder money from the market of drugs and stolen oil. Regardless of the case, and whether one trust on ones' goverment or not, the provably fair aspect should be an implementation which requires priority. Imo

But there is almost no pleasure to be had in this type of lottery gambling unless one day we can win it because in the lottery we only buy the ticket by determining the number we want, indeed there are certain people who make number selection an activity where they do calculations with a certain method but even this I do not see as a fun activity.
Routinely buying a lottery that maybe in some countries is held by the government is just a way to keep the chance open that we can get a prize someday, as someone has felt when he keeps choosing the same combination of numbers over and over again and finally succeeds, even though we might also to never win it because the competition in the lottery is very fierce, and there is never a strategy to win it other than luck

Ive just also remembered hearing news from our country that someone has also been betting on the lottery, and he is keeping the receipts, and he has a huge box full of them, but he has not even won a single jackpot from them. He only won a small one, but if he totaled all of his spending on them for the past decade, he said he could build a beautiful house. Again, the lottery is really for the lucky person, if you will, to win, no matter if you are a first-time bettor or not. He must be the luckiest person on earth, for sure.

And this should be a lesson for gamblers out there, in the pursuit of instant profits people end up spending so much money that if they saved and invested that money instead they could have reached their dreams in a surefire way, so whenever we think that a hobby of ours is harmless we need to make projections for the long term about how much money we will spend on it, and if at the end we notice that we can buy a house o even a car with that money then it is better to reduce the money we use on that hobby.

of course highly motivated!  I am very fond of lotteries, in a week I place 2 or 3 times. Several times I won a small nominal, when I heard that a lottery player won the jackpot, it really spurred my adrenaline to keep believing and believing that one day I would win the jackpot too. btw I identified some people around my neighborhood to be lottery addicts and even they are willing to use their savings just to put up more lotteries, lotteries can really be addictive.

There's no such thing about loophole or holy grail for winning up a lottery game considering that results would really be entirely random and this one do definitely needs up that extreme luck for you to be able

to win up something like this with lottery. It is really that neither these huge wins on first time bettors could give out that kind of impression whether this one would really be that become someone to be that
decisive on making the same bets and trying out to mimic these bettors and hoping that they could get that similar results which we know that it is really that impossible.We arent that dumb
about not to know on what are the odds and chances for us to win on lotteries.It is really just that there are people who are really that lucky when it comes to gambling.

Despite on being first timer, he/she was able to hit up the jackpot on which everyone had been longing up for so long and even up to now, they arent able to get even up to now.
Getting envious or having the feeling of jealous on such situation is really that a normal reaction i should say.

By understanding the risks that can occur, gamblers can manage how much risk they can accept so they won't use too much money. The money used for betting will be adjusted according to their gambling budget to not cross their limits. And even though they can't win right now, they can still buy their lottery ticket another day and wait for the results to come out while doing various activities. By doing things like that, they have become wise gamblers who know how to manage their money well and don't budget a lot for gambling.

I can relate to that as I have a relative who also do the same, keep saving his lottery tickets and when he sum it up in total, it can give him decent amount of money where he can use to put up a business, though we really can't control things out as they are saying that they are doing it to seek some luck and until now there's none aside from a small winning but the luck for taking the main pot still yet to come.

Moving back to OP, a first time bettor who wins the main jackpot, an experienced that will change a lifetime.

Not all have that opportunity and if you are close or if you know someone who manages to be that lucky person, for sure the motivation will come to you and will also hope for that same luck.

When I was a kid, I often asked my mom to buy me lottery tickets. To be honest, after a few years of constantly playing the lottery, we became completely disillusioned with this game of chance and stopped participating in it. I can't say that we didn't win the lottery, because we had some wins, but these wins were so insignificant that the motivation to keep buying tickets gradually faded away. 

And this is something we must do with everything not only with gambling, an example of this is a friend I had long ago, she always complained about being short on cash all the time however I always noticed she bought a coffee and something else from Starbucks every single day, so when I calculated the amount she spent on this in a single year her eyes almost popped out of their sockets as she was impressed the huge amount of money she spent there.

Being lucky can't be connected with the persons who are hopeful. We don't know in what way a person gets lucky. In my country there is a person who have been working as a lottery ticket seller for years and he used to spend have few tickets regularly and he have been saving those tickets in a bag. During his 70+ years he won the jackpot and it happened as he kept the unsold tickets for himself. So, whether they get disappointed on spending for long time or not is not at all a matter for the regular buyers who keep moving with the hope of winning. Further while calculating the amount he had spend on buying tickets based on his tickets saved on big bags it was higher than what he had won.

That is what happens with 99.8% of people buying lottery tickets because only a small percentage of the luckiest nature manage to win significant amounts through the lottery that too in the very early stage of their participation, whereas, on the other hand, people who are buying tickets for decades manage to get nothing but peanuts in the name of wins in these lotteries. Out of all these people, only some people realize that they are wasting their money and they should stop buying tickets.

Buying tickets and not winning any amount means giving your money to the lottery management which earns way too much money and gives away way too less to just a few people after selling millions of tickets each week. That is why everyone wants to run their own lotteries so that they can earn money.

It would be nice to win the lottery, but it's so unrelastic that I can't really be envious towards him. He picked the right number and deserves to win, it doesn't really matter if it was his first time playing or if he played for 20 years. He took the risk, spend his money and got rewarded for it. I gave up feeling bad about my missing luck in the lottery a long time ago. For more than 10 years I play the lottery more or less regularly, especially during high jackpot times I play more. So far I have never won anything big, 20-30 USD here and there, but never anything above 100. Maybe I am just a very unlucky person when it comes to lotteries. There are lottery winners every week, I am not changing my gambling habits based on that.

One thing came to my mind is, there are people meant to be an extremely lucky, that even you're not a regular bettor if it's meant for you no one can take it away. Honestly I envy the person for winning such amount but that's how lottery works, it's more on luck. I'm an occasional lottery bettor. I only buy ticket if I have numbers in mind or my kid's birthday is near.

Obviously, i'm not really a fan of lottery due to the slim chance of winning (though, the jackpot prize is really attractive that can change your life instantly). I still prefer a game that somehow I have a chance to win and not entirely relying on luck.

Why do I need to be jealous? I know that everyone's luck is different, so it's not a problem for me if someone gets the jackpot even when he's just playing for the first time. In my opinion, the lottery is like entertainment, not a race to see who can get the jackpot fast, so I just enjoy it and don't think too much about it.

There is like one in ten million chance that you will win the jackpot (a wild guess, it will vary from game to game). So don't purchase lottery tickets with the expectation that you are going to win the jackpot. If you are participating in the lottery game just for fun, then it is OK. I also purchase tickets once in a while to test my luck and I never get disappointed if I don't win anything. That is how it works. You can play lottery a few times a year. Anything more than that is a massive waste of your money. Just take everything in a positive way, so that it is not hard for yourself.

How nice of someone to be this much lucky and hit one time wonder. I don't know what's more cool? Becoming rich for no reason whatsoever (I see lottery as weird way of gambling) or guy/girl being one time only gambler. I am jealous for sure because especially in past I played a lot of lottery thinking I will be lucky that will come back with million liras (local currency) one day. But as everyone knows lottery winning chance is so close to zero.

Playing the lottery is not a strange form of gambling, as men and women buy lottery tickets to win. Indeed, winning the lottery is not easy because they must keep trying by buying it until they can win. Some bought lottery tickets a long time ago and haven't even been able to win, but that doesn't make them give up and stop buying them because they still hope they can one day win the lottery. And even though the chances are close to zero, they don't seem to care because their belief and desire are still strong to buy that lottery ticket.

Relatively right, if you don't know how to manage your finances you will have experienced that, though it's far from the topic but the essence of that wordings will help, people tend that they are just doing something in spent for their entertainment or enjoyment, relating that to gambling or to the topic, same with the amount you will spend buying lottery ticket, but if luck permits and allow you to win the jackpot , Oh wow! That's for sure the only words that will come out of your mouth! ::) ;D

Well, as players, and as people, what we should do is see these things as something good and as an example, obviously as a motivation, I think that envy has no place here to have those kinds of thoughts, things happen that way because It should be like this, if that player had his jackpot it is because he deserves it. Also, I know many people who play the lottery, and since I was a child I have always seen that they have been playing, betting, buying lotteries, and they spend all day looking for data, and possible ways to get a good combination and luck.

When a person who has sought to win the jackpot is rewarded for their effort, and this brings happiness to the person, it is something I like to see, besides the things that people who like lotteries are always looking for a way to obtain data that is quite reliable, in this regard the people who have managed to have the good luck of winning after so many years of searching, I think it is not because they have sought such luck so much, but that suddenly randomness allowed them to win this Once, now the people who continue looking for this type of luck, well, they only have to continue like this and look for enough encouragement to achieve it.

In lotteries of this style I think that probabilities and statistics can help a lot, there are many tools that can help to be a little more precise, what is that in the world of lottery possibilities this is very open to what Anything can happen, what is always insured is to lose, but it is not known at what point you will have that great touch of luck that many look forward to, and this can only be achieved by persevering.

The fact of always looking for a way to win in a lottery is something that I respect a lot, because I know that things can be achieved by insisting, you never have to give up, sometimes there are people who say not to try anymore, or that they are not Give encouragement, but you don't have to listen to them, you have to always believe in what you have in mind and dreams.

My view is the same among people who win a lot of money in the lottery or gambling: They go bankrupt after a few years because they simply don't know how to manage money.
Getting rich betting on the lottery or gambling is different from getting rich investing in the right places or working hard, because in the latter cases the person has acquired financial knowledge that will help him to keep that value for longer and multiply it. Very different from someone who always had few resources and suddenly becomes rich due to luck.... she does not have the knowledge/education necessary to maintain this wealth, and many make serious mistakes because of this, because the brain is agitated, releases adrenaline and some even panic.

Another problem for those who win the lottery is the desire or persuasion of their family members to share the prize or help all their family members pay off debts and make their dream come true too.
Helping others is cool, but you have to be aware that the money is yours.

But most even believe that money will last forever, because they never have so much money in their lives, they believe that they will never be able to work again, that they can spend as much as they want and the money will last until their death.
Unfortunately, not even the biggest lottery prize in the world is enough for those who don't know how to manage it.

^ In our country, the lottery has been operated by the government for many years, and it has become a popular activity with a large number of citizens participating regularly. It Is not uncommon to come across people who have been placing bets for a decade or more, hoping to hit the jackpot someday. While some probably wonder what keeps these persistent bettors going despite not winning, their reasons could vary significantly. When hearing about a first-time bettor hitting a huge jackpot, reactions among long-time bettors could differ. Some may indeed feel a tinge of envy, as it is only natural to desire the same level of luck and success. Envy, however, need not necessarily be negative, it probably is an idea to keep playing and hoping for their turn to win big.

My thoughts on some guy I don’t know and will never meet winning the lottery on his first attempt are just congratulations to him. I feel no envy towards other people doing well in life. I just think, good for them. You will never get anywhere & succeed at anything if you have a ‘not fair’ attitude.

Every lottery type game is luck, somebody has to win it. If it’s the guys first or ten thousandth attempt, it keans nothing. Congratulations to him, I hope he has a great life.

Lottery is mostly dependent on lucky stars; merely wish for your lucky stars to shine, and that is how the entire lottery industry operates. Winning is both simple and difficult, but we have no choice but to stick to the plans we have in position. I would have been overjoyed if I had won my first lottery predictions, but the fact that I never had to participate in it again prompted my complete focus on gambling. We call it "beginner's luck," and the guy happened to be wearing that shoe. It does not, however, happen to everyone in the space; it varies.

There are many people who have been involved in gambling for many years but they have yet to win a big bet yet. There is a person in my area who has been playing the lottery for several years but has yet to win the lottery. But we often see on social media that people in different countries win huge bets in their lotteries, maybe it's their luck. We basically know that betting depends a lot on people's luck which is not everyone's luck so only those who are lucky can win big lotteries. In many casino platforms, various people are able to win big jackpots, but there are many people who gamble and lose without winning bets. But the person who won the 15 million dirham lottery for the first time may have been lucky because those with good luck can win the bet. However, I have seen many lucky lottery winners who have won more than that mainly due to their luck, but I don't think we should be jealous of that.

I, too, will never envy those who won significant amounts in the lottery. Instead, I would be proud of them. Imagine, one in a million people they have been given luck. Being envious is just a toxic trait that won't help you go places.

Recently there was a lotto lucky winner in our country who won PHP93.6 million / USD1.7 million, and I am happy for him even though I do not personally know him. Rather than being envious of them, I am more curious about how they will handle the money they have won because there has been news on the previous winner of the lottery who went back to zero just because his spending habits quickly ate up the money, and even use it in his addictions. I always hope they use their money wisely and serve it as their steppingstone to go more in life.

The gambling participant will be huge number mostly in the lottery game.But the 98 percentage of the people will not get any benefit from the participating in the lottery.They just try their luck and if they are lucky.They can possibility of winning 98 percentage of the lottery brought at that game.The winner will be the lucky person as compared to the other people.I had no issue for the first time lottery ticket buyer to get the big win.Because it help them to understand the real gambling and it will help their family member to get enjoying from the lottery winnings.But I advise him to skip the reinvestment of full winnings to the lottery.Because we can’t assure he will win again.

I don't know about others. But for me lottery is a scam. Look at Powerball or Mega Millions. Only a fraction of the ticket sales are used to fund rewards. And even then, the winners need to pay income tax (both federal and state) on the amount they receive. A large fraction of the revenues end up with the government in the form of various direct and indirect taxes. I would rather prefer casino games. Casinos maybe having 1% or 2% house advantage, but the remainder is being paid as rewards. Obviously you need to pay tax on whatever amount you win, but net receipts are still greater when compared to lottery games.

I'm a gambler, and although I want to be in that kind of situation as well, I don't feel envious at all simply because it's not my nature. Good thing this guy knows how to handle money and is very cautious about what to do next. I've watched stories of how lotto winners came back from being broke after months or years because they don't know how to handle finances.

Only really lucky people can get that kind of victory and I usually call it the luck that comes once in a lifetime.
But maybe it's because at first they only live in a less so when they get the jackpot from the lottery and are suddenly rich, so they just use the money to have fun without thinking about long-term fate, while no matter how much money have if they can't control their use, then over time it will still be used up without residue and almost everyone experiences something like that.

Some people who have succeeded in getting rich from gambling should immediately think about business so that their life will get better and the winning money is also very useful rather than just being used for fun.

Yes, that's true, after all, why be jealous of other people's wins where it's their luck, if we've never been lucky or we've often bought a lot of lotteries compared to him, why be jealous, even though it's not certain that if we win, we can manage the winnings well. The lottery can make people suddenly rich, it can also make people poor, but before playing the lottery you should first learn how to manage money.

Are we ready to be able to manage winning money well because there are not a few people out there who win the lottery or gambling but they can't manage their money properly and end up going bankrupt too, at least we really understand how to use money wisely so we don't go wrong and make mistakes. manage our own finances. for me if there is a friend who wins the lottery as long as he is good at managing it there is no problem.

It's great if you don't feel jealous of other people's wins in gambling and that's how it should be because we can't always be lucky in gambling. And surely there will be other people who can be luckier than us so that they can win the gambling game. But there are many winners from gambling who cannot use their winnings properly so their lives don't change and they may return to how they were before. This is what we have to learn and realize that if one day we manage to win a lot of money, we must know how to take care of that financial money so that it can benefit our lives.

Being envious isn't really a bad thing, what makes it bad is when you act on it and do something because you made it as a negative driving force to harm to do something bad. Enviousness can be a good thing when you use it as an inspiration or motivation to attain the same thing. It could be your stepping stone to do better and to aim higher which makes it a good thing for you.

Just remember though that you shouldn't be comparing your progress to others because once you get used to doing it, you'll lose the joy.

My motivation is "other people can why not me"

when you see other people getting big wins there are two possibilities;
  the first possibility, makes us crazy about lottery gambling to continue to chase victory like other people get. which makes us continue to raise bets and place as many number slots as possible.

the second possibility, it can motivate us to continue to improve our ability to do number analysis to get a chance to get a big win.

I think those who just joined can get a big win then why can't I get it, if speaking of luck it seems impossible too. the thing that makes the most sense is that... because he is good at analyzing and predicting so he can get the win.

depending on how one perceives it, there are indeed those who, when they see the progress of other people, make them full of motivation and enthusiasm to go beyond it, there are also those who feel jealous so that it makes them do bad things, whether it's the business they are doing or those who are more advanced, who make it possible him to denounce and harm those who are more advanced than him.

I want to follow this as small progress is better than nothing, just like what you mentioned comparing yourself to other people especially in terms of success will mostly remove that enjoyment, you'll keep being bitter and you will not be satisfied with anything, though on the other hand, if you will treat it as inspiration to try doing your best in order for you to have same or have some good results then it will be a good vibes and not a bitterness inside that will be generated.

Being glad with the success of other people and hope that things may happen to you too without any kind of jealousy will allow you to have that positive vibe in life.

I'm with you on that one, I mean, why would I be envious of someone winning a lottery through their own luck? That is what was meant to be theirs, and if I was the lucky person and if I was destined to win that amount, I would be the winner, and if it's not me, the one who won it basically deserves it and there is no reason for me to feel bad about him winning, I might feel bad about myself not winning but that's a totally different thing everyone has that instinct.

I believe the ability to manage finances should be learned when you get your hands on a significant amount of money, because as you said, someone who doesn't have money-management skills, tends to get back to where they once were in no time because they will waste most of that money doing things which won't have any positive outcomes for the long-run.

To be envious is kind a personal thing and not tied from being a gambler. There are even people who are envious about the other lottery/gambling winner and they want to be the same but how can they do it if they are afraid to risk their money at all?

These people are joking. Yet they could change their life in other ways it can only take time but it can be better since you are not only relying in luck and every hard work that you put it is going to add in as your experience. The featured winner said he will invest his money but I think other winners have said the same thing and their attitude still changes later on. We shouldn't believe on it immediately.

Only greedy people become envious on another people's success since they become jealous and wanted to have those achievement of other people. It is nice to see lots of members here not envious of the person who won huge amount of money.


Yeah almost all winners of huge amount of money states that they will invest the won money but the question lies on where they will invest it.  Many of the jackpot winner of lottery do invest their money but it was invested on the wrong ventures where the person does not have enough knowledge of the investment.  I think winners should educate themselves first on financial management and take their time in choosing investments.  Many of so called lottery winners hastily invest their funds without studying the nature of the investment making them lose them fast.

When the gambler face the person who had won the lottery,they will think the next win should be achieved by them.Taking the situation will be the positive one,but they will do the betting by selling the property is not the recommended one.The use to buy more number of lottery by thinking all about the change in the life after the win.But they never analysis the current situation of betting by selling their real property which is hard to buy in future.The property rate will increase to every year, if you get the winning after two years.The price of the sold property may be double the price at that time.So gambling addiction is not good for the gamblers and enjoy the gambling by take gambling as the fun.
