There is always a chance

[onrise]

Damn, dream come true indeed. Lmao that shop owner on that article, so unlucky he had sold the winning ticket.

1 lucky in your life, winning a huge jackpot. I can't imagine if i were the one who winning the jackpot lol. I might be pass out.

This is how luck changes the situation . Had the luck with the original person he would have not sold the ticket . But it was through his medium that other person had to won the amount and he sold and other person bought and won the money .

Still luck is the purely basis in lottery gambling.Even if you only have a single bet while other have hundreds of bets,if you have the luck then you will really win the jackpot.There is always a chance of winning in gambling but its winning stake is very slim.So never take it too serious if you don't want to keep on losing.

In lottery, luck can change someone's world. But agree with you, maybe buy lottery for fun, i means not too think to win in lottery sometime make us calm. But if we look for winning and make us stresses about that, it means we not in a good condition.

I do not think there is any fun in buying a lottery ticket. But lottery should be bought knowing that there will be very less chances of winning. If you take part in lottery hoping you will win, then it may disappoint you if you have high hopes from it and you are not able to win.

It will always disappoint people if they buy thinking they would be winning it because might be one in millions win it and you need to be that special lucky person to win that amount. So ideal way is to just buy for fun and leave rest to the destiny.

You can't determine that the lottery isn't fun just because it doesn't fun to you, you have to know that everyone has their own way to be happy, and I think the lottery is fun when you wait for your number to win? and every game in gambling always has the chance to win

even if it is 1 in 139,838,160, They are massive odds but it has
to be won by someone at some stage.

Why do people seem to think that it simply becomes easier to win as the jackpot increases? Like when it hits a certain mark they're all "It's gonna blow!".

The only thing it does seem to manage to do is slightly increase the number of daily bets. It might become more likely for SOMEONE to get the jackpot, but that don't make it necessarily likely you'll get it.

In my country it just keeps going up, up, nothing and then boom, you have five or so winners sharing the jackpot (we chose the combination rather than it being preprinted on the ticket).

I do not think this is what the guy was saying. He simply said, it has to be won at some stage. That is only mathematics. The probability is 1 in 140 million. So every time 140 million tickets are sold, in the long run, 1 winning ticket is also sold. Of course, this can happen sooner or later, but the chances are, if enough tickets are sold, a winning ticket is among them.

IK, that's why I only play when the jackpot is at a record high. Since I always only buy 1 ticket at a time the chance remains the same for me but at least the prize is larger. I play for the larger price, not because I believe I might get luckier (which unfortunately seems to be what most people I talk to on the line thinks).

Yes. This is a subjective approach and ultimately depends on your definition of happiness. If it is something that chills you and you derive pleasure in participating in lotteries, be a part. I fell kind of sensational pleasure being a part of it because there is always a 1/million percent chance for me to win a millions dollar lottery out of a million people including themselves.

"If you are not in, you cannot win!"

I am well aware of similar phrase like "if you do not risk something, you may enforced to risk everything". It means gambling/participating in lottories within affordable limit is highly encouraged. If there will be a lottery on every week then we must have budget accordingly. Otherwise, we may risk our life by risking everything at some point of time.

Yes, there is a chance but how much you need to spend your money ,time, effort to keep gamble on something that have small chance of winning ?
Most people are greed but remember if greed more than your attitude, you'll get consume by them

So becareful !

Yes there's a chance but also that chance can also a bait, this is what you're trying to say. I understand this and it's true that with that chance to win that we're talking it can also be the reason that we might fall. If you're into that point of your life that you really have nothing to lose, you can take the chance.

Well, we have to get used of it, in anyhow things will happen a lucky gambler will win the jackpot and no matter what it will continue being that way, those who's eager to win and really hoping for tat moment will finally be paid off, we don't know when luck will hit us big but when that time come along it will really change everything in one big blowout.

There is always chance, but if you look at the lottery, there are 1000 people participating, with 1 ticket in their hands,
the chances of winning are only 0.001%, is your chance to win. maybe you could just get a prize if you bought lottery in 1000th

Lottery always make fun, but we can't always rely on that. I mean do lottery in our live for daily. Because if we rely on that, we can lose all our money only in lottery, because someone who already addicted to it, sometime can't get help anymore if his money not gone yet.

I do not think there is any fun in buying a lottery ticket. But lottery should be bought knowing that there will be very less chances of winning. If you take part in lottery hoping you will win, then it may disappoint you if you have high hopes from it and you are not able to win.

I think there is absolutely no fun in such activity. Buying a ticket, is in a way very passive process. There is no actual gambling emotions involved. Most of people are doing it automatically, on their way to a grocery. Hope for the jackpot is still there, deep down we counting on our luck but consciously most of players know that they are throwing away money. That's why most of the lottery players are not even recognise it as gambling, more like a taxation of dreams

I agree with you. There was a time my mother used to buy lottery tickets really often, not that many though but often enough. I didn't see that see ever won anything out of it.

I believe that time and money can be better spent learning a new skill that will help you to make more money. It might not be so many millions like that Jackpot but you will certainly get money out of it.

Depending on the country you are in, it can be a pretty nice amount of money over time.

to be won by someone at some stage.

The Euromillions lottery was won last weekend with a jackpot
of €175,000,000. It had been rolling over since early January
and the Jackpot had been building.

"If you are not in, you cannot win!"

The thing is there is always a chance but the chance is too low if the possibility is just like that, if the possibility is high like that. In gambling, we are talking about the odds in every gamble game. If the odds were too high, the winnings is too low but the chance is too high. But if the odds were too low, the winnings is too high, but the chances is too low. For example, a game between Heat and Golden States. The odds for heat is 3.65 and the odds for GS is 1.23. Meaning, the GS were the odds sided. The GS has the highest odds to win but if you win, your bet will be multiplied with the odds. For example, 0.003 btc, it will be multiplied with 1.23 and that would be 0.00369 btc as your price.

You might be right with what you said but I have read on this forum that the chance of winning in gambling is higher than been a bitcoin solo miner. However, the odds are usually in the favour of players in some certain gambling game and what gamblers need to do is knowing the right game that properly bring to tiding him and having the strategy to maintain his winning.

You can't determine that the lottery isn't fun just because it doesn't fun to you, you have to know that everyone has their own way to be happy, and I think the lottery is fun when you wait for your number to win? and every game in gambling always has the chance to win

And if I am a gambler, I would never find fun at the lottery.

The number one reason? The possibility of winning. I would rather play dice or other luck-based games than gamble my money on the lottery. Don't get me wrong though, I am not saying that people should avoid lottery but if you really want to earn money, I will not be suggesting you bet on these lottery numbers. Sports betting is far better than these luck-based games and also, the chance of winning there is higher than that luck based.

the name is gambling, surely there are thousands of opportunities. the question is are you one of those opportunities? therefore I don't really like lottery games, I prefer betting on soccer matches.

Lottery games are only for gamblers who are not serious with winning, they rely on their luck to win.
Betting in sports is different as it could be a career or a job if you will make yourself consistently winning, some people consider sports betting as their way to make a living, and that's really cool for me as a gambler as I know it's hard to do that, but some are just smart and capable.

I don't think there's any reason why someone would believe that there's a way to make money out of lottery. The ratio of wins to the amount of people betting makes it illogical to even make expectations. It's something that you set aside after making the bet and leave itbfor tomorrow. Among all gambling games, this probably is the hardest to win but the most life changing if you get lucky enough.

I am surprised to know that even though the chance of wining are so so less, yet people participate in lottery system with the hope of wining. I am unable to understand the reason for this attitude ?

Maybe the people needs the quick money without any hard work, so they keep on trying their luck with lottery, that may change their fortune some day.

There is no chance if you do not think about one. They say if you do not apply, you will not get registered. So yes, may be luck can also play a role in the random selection process. In the USA, in the past couple of year, many people who had hit a jackpot never expected but again that shows the transparency of the lottery. In many places, it is not a random selection but a non-random selection and you simply have no chance to win.

You mean rigged lottery?

You would really have the chance even if you had bought 1x ticket on that lottery but expect for the odds to hit is almost impossible but somehow
it is much better compared to those who didnt purchase one.
