Heh i remember one more story, not interesting much, but real! My friend was working in one shop (little supermarket) near beach in Spain. Time to time was coming there guy who was walking along the beach and was selling donuts. One day when my friend was closing shop, comes this guy and want to check his ticket. My friend told him that he is stupid and for sure have nothing. But he really insists! Finally checks his ticket.. and 1st prize. The next day disappeared, and no one no more saw him.. It happens around 10 years ago.
Well its a nice story and well those could happen to anyone that keep playing loteries,but well the odds of that happen is a nightmare,and a dream for those who win. Yeah lotteries are bad.
The chances of winning are very slim and even if you do win. Most millionairs from lotteries blow their money in a few months or years and go back to the life they had before.
That is true, we have a lot of these cases here in Brazil, that winners from favela's become poor again in a matter of months due to the lack of financial administration and bad education / instruction. It is not easy to manage a bunch of money suddenly for somebody without knowledge. Anywhere Brazil or any other country when the person who win gets not financial control of their money,they will waste all the prize and return to their life and some of them return to their life worse then when they had won the loterie.The lack of knowhow,makes the most become poor very fast ,some people spend milions in less then 6 months,its insane to i wanna buy ferrari a new house i can get womans,i can go parties i can borrow some money to family or friend,in the end will end without nothing,spending more then are earning.

The payout ratio in the national lottery is low compared to other games. There is excuse that the profit will go to good causes. I prefer to use the money for good causes myself. Dice game with 1% house edge is much better. Even though a few millionaires are created every month, the winnings are not used wisely.

I've played a crapton of lotteries, but have never won anything. I've spent nearly six hundred if I remember correctly on an $80 million dollar jackpot.
Yes in lottery the probability of winning is very less because their are so many varieties of numbers to cover and one can't do it so it is not a good idea to buy more to try your luck in lotteries instead to check your luck just buy couple of them only and if you have luck then surly you win with those couple of lotteries. I never buy lotteries

yes i am playing loteries for several times and only won small amount 0.001 BTC
Does the winning amount even count as compared to the amount of money you have lost in gbling ?If you're still doing it I request you to stop as you're wasting time and money.

I used to gambling at loteries i may say i didnt risked a lot money usually i spended 2 euros up to 5 euros weekly,meaning 20 euros montly,but well i had won some prizes but in the end i may say for personal i lost much more money then earned at this.Soo why people keep buying?Word is facing financial problems but people keep buying these.. did you figured that already?There is some lotery of bitcoin online,where we can buy a ticket and be able to get the prizes ,i mean one trusted not a scam.
The worse the economical situation gets the more lotteries people are buying, that's a fact, that's how life is. If you can't rely on something which is rational you start believing in miracles.

I am playing national lottery for at least 20 years (not every week, but at least when jackpot is big enough) but i had only small wins till now. My biggest win was around 100 Euros (ticket cost around 2 Euro). Anyway, i dont play seriously, only to have something to dream about lol.

Lotteries are just shit! Play Blackjack or Dice games! Though dice is fully based on probability of odds, you can at least use some strategies in Blackjack as when to hit, double, stand or surrender a bet And lottery is based on nothing but luck! Also it's based on the ratio of number of tickets you have purchased vs the total number of tickets in supply! Yes! it goes like this "The more tickets you buy, the more luck you have in favor for winning".

That is because in lotteries winning chances are very less because there are so many probabilities one can't think and if can think also need a lot of money to buy all those different numbers so it is not worth in investing money on these lotteries. But what your doing like spending 10 to 20$ per month should be OK and if your lucky one day you may win big money.

I quit playing the lottery a long time ago. I never win nothing. I could play $1 out $10,000 and I would not win. I am so lucky that I would play 998 different numbers out of 999 possibilities and I would be the one that lost. That is my luck

Playing lotteries is somehow just relying on luck. Its somewhat like dice game. I prefer betting on sports as I do have much chances of wining base on the athletes' capacity and by also comparing the results of their previous games.

If you like lotteries, check out https://www.pevpot.com/ - it is the only lottery where the odds are in your favour. The prize pool is BIGGER than the sum of all the tickets that are sold each week.

Yes I have played the national lottery for a very long time now but I have never won anything. I think now I will switch to other forms like playing chess and dice which I will influence directly the outcome and at least I know I can win
