[jacee]

[zeraTunerse]

Lottery is pure of luck, it is hard to win unless you have a lot of money to buy the tickets. Lower ticket will end up losing that is for sure. So if you want to win better get a lot of cash to buy tickets

Lotteries are harder than:
1)Dice
2)Blackjack
3)Roulette

That is in list from the most hard to less hard. Imo

Lottery can is more hard because blackjack you have 50% of possibility to win, lottery depend of many ticket have sell and how many you have buy

A couple years ago, I got pretty hooked on scratch offs (dumbass, I know) ... but when I played my first one, just for the hell of it I won like 50 dollars off the first ticket.  So I thought, what the hell might as well try out some other gas stations and play "for fun" now that I'm in the profit area... next thing I know I lost like $300 worth lol

Lotteries are cool, when they are educational lotteries.. but when you don't know when to walk away your screwed. Now for the online lotteries with btc and stuff, I'm not really sure how that works out.  I would imagine it would be even harder to win/walk away from since your just casually sitting on your computer clicking a button to buy the next ticket.

IMHO lotteries are stupid

Blackjack does not have 50% possibility, the house edge where I play blackjack in Las Vegas is 0.457% (Double Deck, 3 to 2 blackjack).

Lotteries do not depend on how many tickets are sold, if you were the only person purchasing a ticket your odds are the same if there where 1,000,000 tickets sold.
The only effect the number of tickets purchase has is the overall jackpot payout, it does not effect the odds.

Using our 5:55 LOTTO game for example: Pick 5 numbers from 55

The overall odds of 1 correct out of 5 is  2.56:1, where the actual odds are 3.02:1
The overall odds of 2 correct out of 5 is 16.68:1, where the actual odds are 17.75:1

Many people get the overall odds and actual odds confused, the only odds that are exactly the same is the jackpot in this case 3,478,761:1.

Bottom line is lotteries odds are high, but not as bad as some slots or Let it Ride games.  All lotteries will tell you the overall chances of winning.

Powerball USA overall odds are 31.85:1 and jackpot is 175,223,510:1 -- this is the reason they can have such large jackpots because its even difficult to win the lower prizes.

i remember the phrases to italian newspaper: "lottery is a tax for the dreamer" (because in italy only government lottery is legal) 

[knowhow]

Im sure only who create the loterie and government are getting something on it.Would be great instead you be able to win a prize if you achieve the all numbers required you being able to get interest on your ticket....lets supose euromilions collects 200 milions in a week if they deposit into a bank will generate interest those would be shared with all person who has a ticket from that week,but the ticket prize should be just one not multibets allowed.Those would make the loteries work better and benefict all people instead someone in milions.

No, you're no necessarily unlucky, it's just that the odds of winning the lottery jackpot are really slim. You have a better chance of being hit by lightning than winning the lottery.

[knowhow]

Even when all countries facing financial problems people doesnt stop trying as all wanna be rich the dream that is sold with those.

[ashour]

Lotteries aren't a good way to win money, I prefer dice and casino games since the possibility of winning is bigger. I think that most lotteries are a waste of time and money.

[Zackgeno96]

other then buying them on rare occasions just for the hell of it no i don't go out and buy weekly tickets but i have managed to win a couple times the most i've ever won in a day off scratch tickets was 150$,  100$ off of the first one i was so stoked i ended up buying 2 more a few hours later and managed to win another 50$ off of one of the 2 tickets i picked up..

[WhoCaresCoins]

Lottery isn't good idea to gamble with it. For me I never play lottery 

[CanIHazBitcoin777]

I used to play about 20 years ago, and won ~600€ but after that i quit, because i lost around the same before, so i break even.

I dont recomend playing lottery though.

Are you for sure? Blackjack will have 50% chance of winning? I dont think so, it will depends on the number in your hand before you busted with the number above 21, the enemy is the dealer and the number that will make its harder

[deadlyunknown]

Make a 15-20 bet parlay (fair and steady odds), then put 1-5mBTC, and if you win, kaboom, easy money.
No need for random lotteries.

Lotterys are probably the hardest game to win. My grandmother was playing lotteries her entire life and the most she won was probably $500 but she probably ended up gambling $10000 to get that.

Lets face it, people play lottery games for the jackpot prize, not the secondary outcome.  All lotteries hope you win secondary prizes to keep your interest and purchase more lottery tickets from your winnings.

There are many slot machines with jackpots with extremely horrible odds too, and in fact some have worse overall odds on winning then a lottery.  But the secondary prizes keep them playing the slot machine.

Anyway, lotteries are designed as a get rich quick for the lucky few, and basically entertainment value for the rest.  If your grandmother spent $10,000 on lottery throughout here life, and it brought joy into her life, isn't that what really matters.  There are many things in life in which you spend $10,000 on, and the actual value is worthless.

Personally, I had 5 numbers right on a ticket once, with the very last number being off by 1.  I looked at that ticket over and over hoping that last damn digit would change, the payout was $585.  But yes I still buy lottery ticket from time to time when the jackpots get over $200 million, even knowing the odds, but some lucky person will win (why not me).  Believe me, I am not the only person that plays the lottery for entertainment, and a chance at riches.

Yea lottery is like buying money at very high price.

I won once 600€ but i almost spent the same to get it, but then i stopped with lottery.

Now i just play dice games like SatoshiDice!
