Lotteries and possibility vs. probability

[Slow death]

I thought why do they keep buying these tickets when they know it hurts them? there was nothing fun about it, I don't know how lotteries are in other countries, but in my country people who play lotteries are not happy people when they hear the results, and that's why I don't see the lottery as a good thing , I don't like lotteries and I stay away from lotteries. I prefer to place sports bets because it is something that depends on myself for success and I don't count on luck

We still can't ignore the fact that most of those people have got lucky due to those lottery tickets and when people saw those lucky ones they also decided to test their luck by purchasing the lottery tickets. The thing continued as a tradition and most people even don't really care about winning the lottery they buy the ticket for entertainment purpose only. Some people have earned a lot of money from those lottery tickets and a few of them are very rich only because of the tickets they bought.

I think that liking and disliking of a thing is someone's own choice because sometimes we prefer one thing while others prefer something else. There's no doubt that sports betting is a good choice but we can't ignore the fact that match-fixing is also something that takes place in sports events. I know that accuracy of winning is sometimes high in sport betting but still people enjoy to test their luck on those lottery games and especially lottery games of online casinos are much better than traditional lotteries.

In my country for example, people from all over the country buy lottery tickets every day, but it takes a long time for someone to win the jackpot and even when someone wins the jackpot they don't show the winner's face and they don't say the winner's full name. winner and strangely I have never heard anyone on the street commenting that they know the winner of a lottery in my country, for many years I have been wondering if anyone really wins these lotteries in my country, because I don't see any proof that people really can win my country's lottery

when I traveled to another city smaller than the city where I live, I could see some of my relatives and people I know buying lottery tickets, and I watched them when it was time to buy lottery tickets, they were happy when they were checking the ticket, then they looked at the data they wrote down, I realized that they were numbers of tickets that were winners in the past, it was funny that everyone made that kind of notes. So far everything was fine, it was something that I saw as being normal, especially because everyone needs to have some strategy to overcome something.

the problem starts when I see that on the day and time of announcing the winner, they get anxious, even if they hide it, after the tv presenter announces the winner of the lottery, they get sad, get up and disappear for a few minutes and then they came back, for me the only explanation was that they were frustrated with the fact that they didn't win, that's why in my opinion they should stop participating in the lottery, after 1 year and they got sick, my relatives stopped to buy lottery tickets

So you are convinced that the lottery is a scam or something of the short? People who win the lottery in my country usually do not speak openly about it because either they may want to evade taxes, sell the ticket to someone who wants to evade taxes or simply wish to remain anonymous to avoid having all friends and family asking them for money.

It is not as cool as it looks to show.

Here in my country which people or bettors are really having those kind of lines that there might be some sort of syndicate or talking about inside jobs when taking up that winning combination specially if the amount is already that big. We know that hitting up lotteries is never been that easy or something that could really come once in a lifetime kind of odds on which the case here in my place where those combinations could really be able to hit up in between days only which it would really be a mind boggling thing is that it is really indeed possible that it could be hit up so easily even the odds are really that small or slim.
Jackpot prize accumulation isnt really that too fast or big enough on every draw which you could really assume out that the purchased numbers of tickets arent really that much but you've seen that those
things had been win up. You cant really avoid that kind of thinking that it might be rigged or something that the government is really just taking their advantage and the ones claiming those winning amounts.

I understand the mistrust towards lotteries, particularly when the chances are so low and yet winners appear more often than one would think. One cant help but wonder if theres a hidden agenda behind it all given the sluggish jackpot prize accrual and the seeming low number of tickets bought. When discrepancies appear, it makes sense to query the system. But if there's a chance of official manipulation or syndicate meddling of any kind, it becomes more than simply a matter of winning or losing; it becomes a question of justice, fairness, and responsibility. It is fraud to rig games in order to make money. Seeking openness and holding individuals in positions of authority responsible are crucial. To guarantee that everyone plays fairly, it is vital to confront these discrepancies.

Frankly speaking, this is not to downplay on the facts buttressed or the focal point, in my head, i consider lotteries not worthy of either Possible, Probable or even Proven to indulge in.

Why not just save up some money and pursue what you see as the reward an down it. If you have a million people chasing whats meant for one person, what happens to the 999999 people when the 1 person finally wins. I don't think its worth it.

[mak013]

Well , whenever we can do things with our money, between buying tickets, Spending them in a casino with slots, roulette, crash, or even sports betting are the ways that can stand out, when a person plays with a ticket every day , Not only does he have faith that at any moment he cannot win, he can be or live that every time he spends that money , he has that which does not review his finances in that sense, but the player or person says that he can cover that expense without problems, because that's how those people think, they don't stop playing, and they don't care if they don't have dinner, or lunch, or breakfast, but they must Play , for them it's the Law to do so , of course, when we see the long-term spending because it is seen as something not Profitable , because anyone can say, why not invest it in a good action, like Disney, Amazon, or even, best of all, that money that you save and buy only Bitcoin, is one of the ways that in the long term you will get a nice sum of money and it is not bad, because it is an intelligent investment, but for one to say Something like that to that person is something that is not viable, because they will not Listen , for him the best and just what he's doing, and there are some Players who are Lucky enough to win, so those things are the ones that have to be seen, because there are some who persevere so long that they do it and turn out to be winners, so they also don't take into consideration if it takes Years to get there gain.

When this type of thing Happens is when we can think that there are people who Spend Around 10-15-20 years playing Until they get it, in the case of my friend it is someone who wants to buy a house for $20k, but that house A son-in-law already bought it for him and his daughter, so that dream has already Passed for him , however he Continues looking for that Prize , and that prize will surely one day be lucky for him, in fact I wish he Could win , they are People that if they Deserve it.

I have a friend, who has a "PC in his head" - he calculates everything and counts everything is it useful or useless. It is difficult and, as for me, dull enough, but when i see the result and it really impresses. He don`t eat junk food, don`t buy any lottery tickets but invest all saved money. As the result he get every month income about several thousand dollars from investments. And he is only about 30 years old. So he can don`t work right now due to tickets he didn`t buy.
Of course there are people who wins the prize and there are people who deserve it. But my friend will reach the result much faster than such people.

In the case a gambler is addicted to lottery, there is no doubt that he should save the money instead. But in the OP the situation I was talking about was about spending as less as possible to keep dreaming. For instance, in my country, you can bet once a week, for a whole year, for around 50€, which is not a sum that would maje any difference if saved instead. I even mentioned the possibility of being charged about 1€ a year along with other taxes. I believe that most people spend such little amounts when playing lotteries, so I don't think your example can be generalized to them.

And with a small amount of money, people are willing to buy lottery tickets, especially at low prices, they can get lots of tickets. And even if they can't win that round, they will still want to buy the lottery ticket because the money used to buy the ticket is also cheap. Maybe that's how they "save the money" by buying into the lottery and hoping they will be the winners one day. And it has been going on for a long time, and in fact, many people may have bought tickets since they were young and until now have not managed to win. But that doesn't stop them from buying their lottery tickets because a big prize is waiting for them out there.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

Since government themselves support lottery and it activities then there nothing bad in applying for one than in gambling which most of the government to against, lottery us believed as a way the government or private individuals tryout to reach to the people towards the community building initiative and they don't view it as a gambling, instead they encourage for more applications through these process as for those willing to risk their application for being accepted.

I'm certain you understand how lottery games work and what the odds of winning in such games are, right! Buying 10 tickets every week or every round for 10 consecutive weeks/rounds, will give you the same chance of winning as when you buy 10*number of weeks/rounds in a single week/round (this may vary depending on how many tickets are being sold on each round). The low price of tickets doesn't mean any thing, it doesn't affect the chances of winning.

Thats what triggers them on making out bets on which you would really be able to have the chance or opportunity on changing your life when it comes to finances and this what triggers for you to bet on lotteries

despite of the impossible odds on hitting up the jackpot but well there would be always a winner despite of those odds which this one makes them thinkin that what if they would be able to hit up those combinations?
This is something that you would really be having in mind in terms of kind of interest but we know that buying up tons of tickets for a long period of time would really be resulting into such spending which it isnt really that worth anymore.As long you are still in moderation or in control when it comes to your spending on buying tickets then it should really be just fine. There are really just those people who are really that impulsive when it comes on buying tickets on where it do leads up on a spending on which it isnt worth anymore. Even myself do even comes into a point that on the time that did i make some betting on lottery had been imagining on winning that huge amount and thinking up the life at its fullest but sadly it was just a dream. 

This is why it would really be that suggested that you should really be only betting the amount which would be extra on which it wont really be hurting you despite on making up some lottery betting for so long.
Its not bad to dream but dont make yourself able to reach out on a condition on which you are already day-dreaming or you are already that too desperate.

Lottery is a combination of number games and one needs to hit all those numbers to win.  In a six number lotto draw, there is only 1 in a millions percentage that a person will win so it does really make sense that people would find it hard to win in this game.  It also makes sense if it will take too long for someone to have the right combination since the probability of winning is too low.

the problem starts when I see that on the day and time of announcing the winner, they get anxious, even if they hide it, after the tv presenter announces the winner of the lottery, they get sad, get up and disappear for a few minutes and then they came back, for me the only explanation was that they were frustrated with the fact that they didn't win, that's why in my opinion they should stop participating in the lottery, after 1 year and they got sick, my relatives stopped to buy lottery tickets

This has nothing to do with the lottery, it is the person's fault for being to hooked on the game and making it his personal goal to win making him anxious about everything when the moment of the lotto draw came.  It is a good thing that your relative has come to their senses that it gives them nothing but stress and frustration, and stopped buying lottery tickets.

That's your assumption but people out there don't think so. They think buying 10 tickets a week will give them a chance to win. After all, the ticket numbers will also be different and that's where they think that with different numbers, they can have a chance to win every week. Even though they couldn't win, it was okay for them.

You may also often hear stories about people who have been buying the lottery for more than 5 years but have not been able to win. But in the 6th year, they managed to win the jackpot. So is it wrong if they think about buying their lottery tickets every week, even if it's only 10 tickets? Of course not, mate.

The low price of tickets become their consideration in using the money. And I'm sure they already have a special budget to buy lottery tickets. So it makes sense, right?

That is why some people are willing to buy lottery tickets because they hope to change their lives through the lottery. They will continue to buy lottery tickets until they win, and then they will stop and use the winnings to change their lives, even though there are people who will continue to buy lottery tickets to get another win.

People who buy lottery tickets must have prepared a budget to buy the tickets. Even if they haven't, they will probably calculate how much money they have to use to be able to buy the lottery ticket. But there are also people who just buy tickets in different amounts because it suits the funds they have. Maybe they don't think it's worth it to do it for a long time because they want to try to get the jackpot prize. That's what makes them not stop buying lore tickets because there is a jackpot waiting for them. Those people are already thinking about how much they can buy each week or month so it's not a problem for them.

They will have their own calculations if they want to buy lottery tickets and will not force themselves if they cannot buy lottery tickets in large quantities. But surely some people will immediately buy tickets in large quantities even though they have difficulty preparing the budget.

You didn't get my point. The guy who won the lottery after six years could have won it on the first atempt as he could spend his entire life buying tickets without ever winning. It is a matter of luck.
It's not about what I believe, it's about math. Let's suppose the lottery number is 8 digits long. Each ticket you buy gives you 1/10⁸ chance of winning. If you buy 10 tickets your odds are 10/10⁸.
Each round is independent from the previous one.

I think it is about luck, not math.  Math only calculates the chance of winning but to trigger that chance is all random and the person who got it right is lucky enough to come up with the winning number combination.  Anyway, I read that both of you have almost the same point of view so I guess we all agreed that winning the lottery is a matter of a person's luck and buying more number combinations gives the buyer a higher chance to win the lottery even though the ratio is almost ignorable.

Gambling is based on two set of the gamblers,one is the guy who strongly believe on a math.As like other games the ambling also depend on the math was the theory of that people.Second one is purely based on the luck like you.So this type of gambling people don’t do create of any tactics for the game.They gamble and check the luck,if the luck is not favour the gambler will quit the gambling for certain period of time.Then he arrange some capital for the gambling,they back to gambling again to check the luck.

Oh, sorry, I do not understand what you mean.

The person who bought and won the lottery may be able to get one, regardless of how long ago they bought the lottery ticket. And yes, I agree that it is a matter of luck but when it comes to buying lottery tickets, those who are used to buying them will keep buying them until they win the jackpot prize. And most of them will not calculate the chances of winning and buying the lottery ticket. They just know that they must buy the lottery ticket even if it takes a long time to win.

Frankly speaking, this is not to downplay on the facts buttressed or the focal point, in my head, i consider lotteries not worthy of either Possible, Probable or even Proven to indulge in.

Why not just save up some money and pursue what you see as the reward an down it. If you have a million people chasing whats meant for one person, what happens to the 999999 people when the 1 person finally wins. I don't think its worth it.

Saving is definitely a good option but saving takes years before you can hit a million, that’s why people will rather chose to try their own luck and become instant millionaires when their combination digits hit the jackpot prize. The bad thing here is when they become addicted to lottery, and they can’t control anymore their betting amount. That’s the reason why betting lottery in the long run isn’t worthy at all, not because they can’t be lucky to win, but it’s rare to see people winning such a huge amount, unless if he stick to his combination number for more than a decade.

Saving is definitely a good option but saving takes years before you can hit a million, that’s why people will rather chose to try their own luck and become instant millionaires when their combination digits hit the jackpot prize. The bad thing here is when they become addicted to lottery, and they can’t control anymore their betting amount. That’s the reason why betting lottery in the long run isn’t worthy at all, not because they can’t be lucky to win, but it’s rare to see people winning such a huge amount, unless if he stick to his combination number for more than a decade.

Left alone that most people in the world wouldn't be able to save such amount in a whole life. That's why I think that, apart from rare cases where the players waste big amounts, lottery is a beautiful game where, with very little money, you can achieve great things in terms of positively dreaming about a dear life.

That's your assumption but people out there don't think so. They think buying 10 tickets a week will give them a chance to win. After all, the ticket numbers will also be different and that's where they think that with different numbers, they can have a chance to win every week. Even though they couldn't win, it was okay for them.

You may also often hear stories about people who have been buying the lottery for more than 5 years but have not been able to win. But in the 6th year, they managed to win the jackpot. So is it wrong if they think about buying their lottery tickets every week, even if it's only 10 tickets? Of course not, mate.

You didn't get my point. The guy who won the lottery after six years could have won it on the first atempt as he could spend his entire life buying tickets without ever winning. It is a matter of luck.
It's not about what I believe, it's about math. Let's suppose the lottery number is 8 digits long. Each ticket you buy gives you 1/10⁸ chance of winning. If you buy 10 tickets your odds are 10/10⁸.
Each round is independent from the previous one.

I want to match that it is true, if this guy buy tickets to the one lottery. If he buy 10 tickets of the one draw the second ticket has chances 1/(10⁸-1), the third - 1/(10⁸-2), etc. If he buy 10 tickets every week for different lotteries or different lottery draws he still has 10/10⁸ because the numbers will change.
PS. I don`t think that there is some difference between these situations but if the guy buy 10 tickets of the one draw - his chances are higher than if he buy 10 tickets of different lotteries.
