i think he just want to receive the views of the people as you can see that different people have given different types of answers, and in my  point of view i will like o say that lottery is a type f gambling in which one has to depend totally on luck and there is no concern of skill or experience in lottery gambling.

Probably this is only for the discussion purposes and I do not believe that OP is that innocent who does not know the meaning of gambling, he may think that since the money involve in lottery is relatively low, he thinks it's not gambling but just for fun.

as far as i know, playing lottery is one of the gambling game but we sometime we do not realize it because its really fun. we bought for example 1000 lottery for cheap price and hoping that our number is out to be a winner.

if you ask will it be addictive? my answer is yes, if you only want to be a winner on that lottery. be careful, do not be so addictive. loss you money while you want and you can, and in the meantime, if you loss, don't regret it.

I agree that lottery is one of the gambling game, but i don't see any fun in betting in lottery.  Though it is not realized that this is a gambling game because of a small amount used to bet in this game and the huge prize for it.  Though most of he lottery have next to impossible to hit the jackpot, people just keep on betting because of the small amount needed, the cost does not affect them in their daily budgets.

I don't expect to be rich in gambling. It is almost impossible to happen. Here in our country we have a lottery  runs by the government, 0.409 US Dollar per ticket. There is also a different type of lottery. For me, playing it is also for fun like what other gambling.

Not impossible if you play your cards right.

You can call anything a gambling if you are risking money and you can win or you can lose. So about the lottery yes it is a gambling too because you will risk money and you are expecting to win. It is true that the chance of winning in lottery is very very low but if you will become the lucky winner who will hit the jackpot then you are one of the luckiest person in the world because the prize of jackpot in any state lottery or other lottery online are very Big and you can become instant millionaire.

As you said," if we can win or we can lose, So than lottery is a gambling".
You know in every game depend on lose or winning, So its mean every games are part of gambling?
NO, absolutely no, i don't think that lottery is a gambling. Lottery has a similarity with gambling, but it is not gambling. If we are talking about only lose or win than we get daily lose in business and many time we can make profit from our business. But business is not a gambling, and for me, Lottery is a Only game.

Yup, it's totally gambling and can be as addictive as any other form of gambling.   I'm sure you've seen these poor saps in the gas stations scratching off their lottery tickets.   Well it's even worse online and you can lose all your bitcoin a lot quicker.  Have fun but be very careful.
yes that is right to say that lottery is also a form of gambling which totally depending of luck and there is no use of skill or experience, and that is also a fact that once if you become addicted of lottery gambling you will find it hard to stop it,

Becoming addicted of lottery is pretty hard to happen because the results are not coming instantly but in a few days or even weeks. You only have to go there, choose your number and play for the jackpot. I've never been addicted to it because it just isn't as fun as casinos are

maybe the OP need enlightenment and have curiousity so he asked this question and yes putting money in lottery is the same as gambling but the different is we buy some ticket with the number inside or whatever its called and hoping that number is out and we can be the winner.

I agree with  you, Everyone could  post and ask  anytime  that they want as  long  its  not repetitive and  have  been asked  already  in the past  on  this   forum.  Now  OP  would  really get some  good answers here  because  most  people do  say the same thing  on which  betting on lottery  is definitely a gambling.  Seeing the   situation of   OP  when  he tends to  buy 1000+  tickets   but  chances  of winning is still not a guarantee.

I do  know   some people  who is  addicted  on  playing  or   betting  on these  lottery  which  mostly  are those  people  who  have average   financial status which they   are  hoping to   bet  on  lottery   to be a  millionaire  one  day  but as  we all know the  chance  on winning  this  kind of game  is  very very very small thats why  most people would  surely comeback and  continue   to  buy  tickets  .

I think not all lottery included into gambling, so there is a lottery that included gambling and there is also a lottery is not gambling. Examples include gambling lottery, as we bought a coupon to get a prize. While the examples are lottery not gambling, as we buy a drink and get a coupon that can be a gift if lucky.

So if such examples are included in the lottery gambling is the same as the bet because we deliberately spend some money to buy coupons (usually each number has a different price) with the aim to get the prize. Unlike the lottery that is not included into gambling, we do not buy the coupon because we get a coupon to buy stuff so get coupons. The point though both are the same with a lottery, but the way that makes it included gambling or not.

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?

yes definitely it is just another type of gambling because in lottery you are buying a ticket and sometimes not just one or two but up to ten or even 1000 tickets as you've said in that way you are risking your money as well it is like what you are doing in other form of gambling such as poker, dice etc. and you it seems you only have a small chance in lottery unless you really have so many tickets .

Gambling has very simple definition where money involve and we have risk to lose it than no doubt it is just a gambling, that is why I'm pretty sure lottery is form of gambling where we lost our money same like playing on casino games, for some people putting money is very attractive and it can be addictive.

any form of gambling is very addictive , and I agree with you lottery can be very addictive as well because you can have a chances to win from it through buying tickets especially if you have bought a lot of number of ticket you have a potential to win the lottery and just like in other form of gambling you will be addicted just because you are still expecting that you could win at the next round or sometime soon Grin

Yes, the outcome is completely decided by luck. Basically all the gambling types must have originated from lottery system in my opinion as it would be the easiest form of gambling for a group of people. Also lottery system must be the oldest form of gambling unfortunately we are having it even gambling houses were completely banned in my country.

As long as money is involve, it is called gambling. I mean, as long as you get money from your money as a bet. Yes, gambling is very highly additive, specially when you win big one time. It would be hard for you to quit gambling because you are hoping that you can win again but the truth is you will just gonna lose more bitcoin because the house always win like the usual.

Yes it is gambling too, not because others are winning because they have enough lottery tickets doesn't mean you are going to win also if you are going to buy enough lottery tickets. In gambling there is a big chance of losing than winning and you must be aware of that. Gambling is a very addictive once you completely turned yourself on it and when you see gambling the only way to grow your bitcoin which is wrong. There are lots of way to grow your bitcoin safely like Investing it, and do some trading yes it has some risk also but not as big like Gambling.
