I don't know how or what makes you think that lottery is different from any other gambling games. Basically lottery has a 50-50 chance or even 20-80 chance of winning or loosing so basically it is gambling. Both have a risk that you will get nothing.

Hello everyone, so I joined freebitcoin about a week ago, I can afford to buy around 500-1000 lottery tickets. But when I see last round the first winner has just 120 tickets but other winners got 10000+ tickets, if I buy around 1000 tickets, will it be worth and is it like gambling? Will it be addictive? Guys please tell me that lottery is second form of gambling or not?
It is a form of gambling since you get a win chance as well according to the total number of tickets you will be buying. The more your buy the more the chance to win but at the same time the more you will lose in case you don't win. So it's exactly the definition of gambling.

I think the lottery on freebitcoin is pure luck, even you buy 1000 tickets it's also about luck and i think lottery also about gambling, because it's risk your money and hope to win.

Yes it is also a gambling, If you bought a lot of tickets, then you do have a lot of chances of winning compared to those who bought a few tickets. And as for the one that win in first place with 120 tickets only, Then He is just a lucky one to be the winner, Lottery is still considered to be a pure luck game and all of the results are unpredictable, So buy tickets only on what you can afford to lose, As we don't know if you will be hit by luck or not.

Of course it's gambling, and nrmally is gambling with very bad odds. Normally the house edge on roulette and most casino games is smaller than the house edge in lottery. As for addiction I think it could be, it depends on the person of course.

Well, in my opinion, it is.. It involves money and the percentage of winning is too small, lottery is gambling.. There is also a chance that you'll get addicted it but I don't think that it is as worst as being addicted to dice games.. But it is good to buy atleast one ticket from time to time. But buying too many tickets? that's a waste of money.

I don't know my opinion right or not, everything you do with money and have a potential to lose some money, i call it gambling.

Lottery is qualified as gambling for the reason that the game is solely base on luck. As one of the qualification to determine if the game is qualified as gambling games is the presence of chance or luck as the main factor to win. Unlike poker and sports betting where skills is the dominant factor which gives you an edge on winning the game.

Of course it is. You put your money in lottery and expect to gain more money in return. Does it take any skills to do that? No. Does it take any knowledge? No. The only thing you need to do is putting your money. That is no different than playing a dice game at all.

Definitely lottery is form of gambling, lottery result always making the people disappointed as like the betting, people are very consistent to lose their money with both ways because of luck, lottery has the same risks like we have in gambling.

Of course playing the lottery is gambling, it's OK if you just have a couple of tickets a week though. That way you're only putting a bit of money out with a small chance of becoming very rich.
The OP has an issue though if it's true he spends that much on lottery tickets.

Lottery isn't exactly gambling. Well of course the definition match, but it's gambling on a very low odd of a very high win. The main difference is that you can hardly become addicted to lottery! Because you know from the beginning you got nearly 0 chances to win ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Yes buying lottery tickets is consider gambling too, even you buy tons of tickets, as long as there is other players holding some tickets, you still have chance to lose.

It's gambling, but I would also argue that playing the lottery is less addicting than playing slots for example, because there is more time between putting your money in and getting the results.

lottery is usually the worst type of gambling , cause usually it has the higher house edge ( not always tho ) you can't find an edge in the lotteries which make it a -EV gambling also in freebitcoin there is no proof about their provably fair lottery , some of the results may be fake at the end people should use freebitcoin as a faucet only in my opinion

It is gambling. What else could you call it? When you spend coins to buy tickets, for that chance to win, that is gambling. And, winning depends on luck.so it doesn’t really matter that much if you buy more, because there are millions of tickets in a draw, so unless you buy millions, It doesn’t really guarantee a win. Buying more tickets just gives you more chances. Personally, if I were going to gamble anyway, I’d pick something that isn’t just based on pure luck, and with much better odds than the lottery, like Poker or Dice. Good luck tho! ^^

of course putting money in lottery is similar to play on a gambling site. Because both have risks and where we have to face risks it is clearly form of gambling. Even lottery is most worse than gambling because in lottery we have very rare chance to win something.
