Lotteries and possibility vs. probability

[Porfirii]

It is quite possible that when young children see their parents checking out the lottery and hoping that they should go this time and win, this delightful mood of expectation of something good is automatically transferred to the children.  And since this happens often, young children also rejoice in this mood of their parents.  And so, as children gradually grow up, they themselves begin to feel such good experiences when they become older.  And of course they also continue to buy lottery tickets. 
I think this happens in most families where at least one parent, father, mother or, for example, grandfather regularly buys lottery tickets.

The experience in childhood of seeing their parents check the lottery will make them try to buy the lottery when they are older and they will continue to try when they have not managed to win any prizes. It may be a trivial thing but it can provide experience about gambling to young children who follow what their parents do in buying the lottery. And when people buy lotteries, it may be a normal thing in some places, especially if more people buy lotteries too, so when there are grown-up children buying lotteries, that is no longer something new. However, those who frequently buy lottery tickets should be able to allocate a certain amount of money so as not to disrupt their finances.

I can relate to that story, since my father used to buy a lottery ticket in the way back home from school. He liked to explain me which were his favorite numbers, and how much was the price in things that I could understand, and dreaming about the dear life we would live if we were lucky.

In the present I play from time to time but I think that I'm not following the ritual as I don't have the need to do it every week, and I don't enjoy it as much as him. So seeing the parents play have an effect in the children, but that effect will be different according to different variables also.

Your own experience in this matter is interesting.  You say that you also buy lottery tickets, but you don’t do it as often as your father used to do. 
It seems to me that when a father picks up a child from school, buying a lottery ticket is like such a nice little gift for both the adult and the child too.  This is, in a sense, a positive ritual.  Because two people will hope to win at once.  And even if the lottery ticket is without a win, all this is forgotten quite quickly, and when you buy a new lottery ticket, the hope of winning appears again.  The result is such a small emotional swing that it generally diversifies the often boring and monotonous lives of many people.  Especially in those countries where people work a lot and generally live poorly.

Of course, this will happen very easily and in gambling activities there are no such things as trivial things because even accidents can have bad influence, especially if trivial things make children see what their parents or adults are doing.
Most lottery gambling can be found more easily because it is mostly sold in betting shops which are located in almost every corner of the area where you live.
Maybe online gambling is also easier, but as it spreads, lottery is the only type of gambling that can be found anywhere without the need for technological assistance such as cellphones or PC.
And seeing parent or adult go to betting shop to write down numbers and bet on them can also create curiosity for child which makes it possible that one day they will follow what they want to know.

In the country where I live, this type of lottery betting has its own shop called "mining" this is the name for the house of someone who sells lottery tickets in general and they are free from legal entanglement because they have boss or bookie who pays taxes to the government.
In places like this here there are many teenagers who are almost adults who have started betting and their average age is 14 to 17 years.
It shame to see an incident like this.

That can arouse children's curiosity about what parents or adults who see them fiddling with numbers or what numbers will come out so they can decide to buy the numbers. Maybe many children who are now adults buy lottery tickets because they used to see often adults around them buying the lottery so that when they grow up, they want to experience the experience of playing lottery gambling. Supported by the condition of their environment, which provides a place to buy lottery tickets, they have finally tried to buy them until now. This is what allows children to buy lottery tickets easily. Even adults may need to learn that their children often buy lottery tickets. And when their children can win one of the prizes from this lottery, they will be proud to say that their child won the lottery prize.

Yes, that's correct. It could be different in other places because in my place there are things like that too and what's worse is that there are lots of young people the same age in your place queuing to buy lottery tickets. Those in line argued that their parents had told them to buy the lottery ticket and the seller already knew that he was the son of one of his customers. Sometimes, young people also buy one or two tickets to keep for themselves and hand over the other tickets to their parents.

Yes, this could happen because in the past they often saw adults or even their own parents and of course apart from that, the living environment was one of the main factors in the rise of cases of gambling addiction among children who had just reached adulthood.
But stopping them is not easy and requires awareness within themselves to be able to improve any activities that are not good for their growth or development.
This seems trivial because it just lottery gambling which is just fiddling with numbers to get good sequence of numbers to bet on, but in the long run it not very good.
In the future, perhaps they will go further and carry out various gambling activities that are more dominant, such as gambling addiction in online casinos which are full of various games and bets.

Well, I laughed at things like that and indeed I found something similar where they were children who bought lottery tickets and were asked why they were so young and dared to bet on the lottery and the answer was because their parents told them to.
It very ridiculous reason that cannot be accepted, I don't believe there are parents who deliberately get their children involved in betting.
And if there are parents who deliberately do this then I would say that they are parents who have no thought about their children development.

I think that it has a lot to do with each one's personality traits.

In my personal case, I consider myself quite a critical thinker, but still flexible. I enjoy playing lotteries from time to time, but I'm aware that I wouldn't enjoy playing more often; on the contrary, it could end up being frustrating after decades of putting too many expectations on a dream life that never arrives.

Someone else could remember his father's hobby as naive and never play lotteries (especially if his relationship with his father wasn't good, I guess). And finally there must be cases also of people who blindly repeat what they see when they were children, go further and end up being addicted to different ways of gambling.

Just in case, I decided that I wouldn't carry my underage son or daughter to bars as long as I could (it is hard to do it in a country with a culture of "fiesta" like mine), and of course casinos, but I don't think the same happens with lotteries.

In fact, I've read today that in my country the Government is about to ban influencers from advertising gambling, but that rule won't be applied to lotteries.

You are lucky to have a father who is open and willing to explain his favorite numbers. And you are also invited to dream of getting a beautiful life if you are lucky. It was an unforgettable experience because we could be close to our father. I taught myself about gambling because none of my family members gambled, even though there were family members who drank alcohol but they didn't gamble.

Yes, after we grow up, we will definitely find out for ourselves what we want. But we already have a foundation of what our parents explained, so we know what to look for next. The influence of the parents will be carried over to the child, whether it is a little or a lot, but something will definitely be carried over to the children.

And if there are parents who deliberately do this then I would say that they are parents who have no thought about their children development.

Stopping someone who often gambles is not easy because it requires awareness from the person who gambles. Most of them don't want to stop their gambling activities because they feel they can still control themselves and don't experience any problems. But actually, they already have problems that they are not aware of and it will be difficult to stop them or just tell them that they already have problems from gambling. And if children are addicted to gambling, it is even more difficult because there must be supervision from their parents and assistance from their parents. After all, these children have been in the wrong company so they are addicted to gambling. These children start buying lottery tickets mostly because they have seen what the adults do, so they want to imitate them and buy the tickets when they have money.

The answer to those who bought lottery tickets was because they were told to do so by adults or even their parents. This really requires understanding from adults and their parents not to let their children buy lottery tickets because they can buy them with the money their parents gave them. And some parents deliberately involve their children in betting even though we don't know for sure. We also don't know why parents tell their children to do things like that. Well, this also requires understanding from parents not to continue doing things like that to their children.

Thank you ethereumhunter, I feel lucky in that regard. As you said, sometimes we have to teach ourselves about new things, that's what happened to all of us in this forum with Bitcoin because our parents didn't know it when they were young. So there is a lesson to be learned there, as present or future parents, about lessons that must be taught to our children in order to reach a proper balance: on one hand, enjoy life and, on the other, still be able to avoid risky behaviors.

They'll definitely have to learn it themselves during their lifetime, but it's our responsibility to help them.

Legislation regarding gambling in all countries of the world, I think, is quite dynamic.  Legislators cannot find a normal balance of interests of players, casinos and government supervisory and fiscal authorities.  Of course, it’s good that if the government of your country, in this search for a compromise, leaves such harmless entertainment as the lottery without any serious restrictions.  But players who enjoy gambling and for whom these games are part of their life and entertainment will probably still suffer. 
Of course, I’m talking about responsible gamblers, but not about gambling addicts at the stage of the disease.  Any restrictions in the legislative regulation of gambling, I think, under a responsible government that thinks about its people more than about itself (I’m not sure there are many such governments in the world ) should be aimed at limiting cases of gambling addiction at the disease stage.  And governments are more likely to do what they want as much as possible in taxes from the gambling business and do not look at how the number of gambling addicts decreases or grows. 
But that’s how it is now, this real world of ours.

Whenever we do really buy some lottery tickets then it would really be just that normal that there would really be price swings on which it would really be just that normal that it would really be giving out that kind of feeling on which you would really be having high hopes that you would really be able to win up on next draw on which it would really be just that so normal on having that kind of emotion. Whether you do buy on solo or you would be in together with your own father or family members or whatsoever. The important thing when betting on lottery or buying up tickets is that you should really be that mindful about the spending that you are been doing. You cant really just that make yourself that buying like a madman just because you do have a gut feeling that you could really be able to hit up the jackpot.

Dont make yourself that ends up on trying to be that desperate because once you do have this kind of mindset then most likely you would be purchasing tickets without having that
control on which we can really say that this is really a bad time on doing so.

You're welcome. Yes, this bitcoin forum has taught many things to those of us who joined here, even though our parents don't know about it. By gaining knowledge on this forum and sharing everything, we can learn many valuable lessons that will definitely be useful to teach our children. It's not just problems or stories about gambling. We often share many things, and it will be useful for us to share them with the people around us.

And as parents, we really have to help them like our parents did for us. Even though we are married and have children, our parents still feel responsible for us and our children likewise, when we have children who grow up and get married and have children.

Well, this also requires understanding from parents not to continue doing things like that to their children.

Now, from the mistakes and negligence of parents, these children could potentially become generation that will experience gambling addiction problems and when they become addicts it will be more difficult to stop because they have no control.
Providing an understanding of control over children is very difficult because even though parents have said and made various efforts, the child will still return to his gambling activities because of feelings of curiosity that are truly uncontrollable.
In some cases, actually bad things happen from cases of gambling addiction experienced by children who are underage or still at school. And of course we as gamblers who are also adults or even married will feel what it would be like if this condition happened to our children or our family.
So at least we ourselves can avoid all bad activities or gambling activities from all the families we have, especially for those who are still classified as underage children.

Well, that what doesn't make sense and I still think that the activity of buying lottery tickets is carried out because of their own will in an effort to fulfill their desires and curiosity about gambling, of course in the desire to buy lottery tickets.
It is shame if there are parents who involve their children in betting activities and of course there will be long-term impacts if things like this continue to be done.
But no one can stop it except themselves as parents.

Yeah!  The thought that you will be lucky and win the jackpot in the next lottery draw is indeed a fairly common reason for people to frequently buy lottery tickets and even sometimes makes people buy lottery tickets continuously for many years.  By the way, sometimes some people even win some small gifts.  But on the other hand, the thought of a big win and a luxurious, rich life after such a win still diversifies the often boring and monotonous life of many people.  And this is another positive influence of the lottery on public consciousness.  So I think there will be lotteries for many, many years to come. 

But in general, this is quite harmless entertainment, unless of course the lottery organizers are cheating.  But the state must monitor this.  And it does this, passes laws on the lottery and catches and punishes scammers who deceive people using the lottery.

Famous YouTuber MrBeast uploaded a video on his YouTube channel a few days ago where he bought a lot of lottery tickets for a million dollars hoping to win billions. MrBeast bought so many lotteries that they had to be brought in by truck. This YouTuber and his team scanned all the lotteries together and after scanning all the lotteries they got only $700K dollars they bought the lottery with a million dollars and they got only $700K dollars in return. Some of his lotteries have $50 some lotteries have $100 and very few lotteries have $1000 and most lotteries have $0. He is a big YouTuber and through this video of his I got so much idea that money should not be invested in such lotteries. If you are very lucky you might get $1000 but that is very few people get. All the lotteries I have ever won have gone against me and I have never won a lottery.

Whenever I play for national lottery I consider it like that 1 in 10 million possibility is still lot bigger than zero. So I think it may be worth to play only once everytime it happens, instead of not joining it. I never considered lottery as better option than typical gambling. Its lot worse. Its pretty much worse from sports betting too. But like, what if you win? what if that 1 in 10 million is YOU. That's why I keep trying it.

That's how lottery and lottery tickets are designed to be, they're not supposed to make an easy win for someone so it's fair that they're at that kind of odds, it's not like they're not losing a lot of customers when they do that right? That's probably the average that Mr. Beast done for lottery, you pay a thousand and you get your 700 back. It's not rigged, it's just that the odds are so low that you might as well just give that lottery ticket money to someone because that's the same thing. If lottery is easy to win, we would've been doing it as a profession already, there's no need for mathematicians that are good at calculating odds and probabilities.

I mentioned earlier that a small number of lottery tickets were $1000 but most lottery tickets were $50 and zero dollars more. The lottery will be profitable for the person who buys a single lottery ticket and wins a thousand dollars in just one lottery ticket. The YouTuber I am talking about is one of the richest YouTubers in the world so he bought such a huge amount of lotteries just to entertain his audience and give something interesting but a normal person would never buy such a huge amount of lotteries. Lottery is totally based on luck, they use some tricks to get big prizes to very few customers which is why they can make money from such lotteries even with such big prizes.

The other day (22nd of December) the Christmas lottery draw was held in Spain and during the morning all the country was attentive to the results. In my case there was no luck (not even money back) but those lucky enough got 400k eur per ticket, enough to change most people's life. According to official numbers, more than 75% of the Spaniards play every year.

The chances to win are much higher than in other lotteries: 0.001%, but the ticket costs 20€. Is there something similar in your countries?

Christmas is one of the days that can be used as fun day or is eagerly awaited by everyone, especially those who celebrate it, even several platforms, whether for gambling or even crypto trading, use Christmas to give out various bonuses and also carry out promotions.
I don't know about the lottery held in Spain, but reading what you said it seems quite interesting and of course for anyone who is lucky and gets return of 400k eur per ticket.
This is fairly decent return and cannot be obtained on normal day, of course most of the Spanish population who like to gamble will follow and buy tickets for this annual lottery.

If only several gambling platforms implemented the same thing, maybe this would be quite interesting and of course most gamblers would follow it because this is an annual agenda or event that is really fun.

In my own country, gambling is something that is prohibited and regulated by law, but there are still many local sites that are protected by certain people who have power because of taxes that are given personally in quite large amounts.
There are still some betting shops selling lotteries but there is no annual event like there is in Spain.

Now, from the mistakes and negligence of parents, these children could potentially become generation that will experience gambling addiction problems and when they become addicts it will be more difficult to stop because they have no control.
Providing an understanding of control over children is very difficult because even though parents have said and made various efforts, the child will still return to his gambling activities because of feelings of curiosity that are truly uncontrollable.
In some cases, actually bad things happen from cases of gambling addiction experienced by children who are underage or still at school. And of course we as gamblers who are also adults or even married will feel what it would be like if this condition happened to our children or our family.
So at least we ourselves can avoid all bad activities or gambling activities from all the families we have, especially for those who are still classified as underage children.

Well, that what doesn't make sense and I still think that the activity of buying lottery tickets is carried out because of their own will in an effort to fulfill their desires and curiosity about gambling, of course in the desire to buy lottery tickets.
It is shame if there are parents who involve their children in betting activities and of course there will be long-term impacts if things like this continue to be done.
But no one can stop it except themselves as parents.

Children are always curious about many things, but as parents, they should be able to choose what they are allowed to know at their age and not carelessly tell their children something that is not appropriate for them to know. Maybe if they are adults and can think about the good and bad or the benefits and not the benefits of something, parents can tell them about it. However, before they grow up, parents must continue to guide their children and not hand over the responsibility for guiding their children to other people because guidance from other people will be different if the parents themselves do it. Children will also be taught how to be responsible for many things at an early age so that children can remain responsible until they grow up. With guidance from their parents, children will not try to approach gambling because their parents have taught them that approaching gambling can have an impact on them.

If parents tell their children to buy lottery tickets, they should be embarrassed because their gambling activities are known to their children. This can arouse children's curiosity and if they already know about lottery and have their own money from their parents, they will buy their own lottery tickets at the same time as buying lottery tickets for their parents. And this will become a habit for their children, and they will also continue to buy lottery tickets. And if their children win, their parents will actually be happy and think their children are gamblers. That's not a good way for their children because they will continue to buy lottery tickets again at another opportunity.

I'm sorry to hear that Hirose, in fact I always thought that you were from the United Kingdom and as far as I know lotteries are not prohibited in the UK. Good that you still have the places you mentioned and you can play online.

About the "Lotería de Navidad" (Christmas Lottery) it is almost a national festivity, and almost everybody at home, the office, etc. has the TV or radio switched on that morning and follow the draw live (4 hours approximately). Unfortunately I didn't win anything this year, but the excitation of the moment is worth it.

Well, that concern it quite shame, I gambler but I will never be able to see children who have started to be exposed to gambling from an age that is really unfit to be exposed to places or activities like gambling.
I know what it like when have child who knows and starts to learn to bet, it very sad.
I personally am quite angry with those parents who deliberately tell their children to come to betting shops and buy lottery tickets, I don't know whether it was the parents who told them or whether it was the children wishes.
But as father in the small family that I built, I really couldn't see it, watching the children out there who tried betting in any form, including the lottery.
Maybe parents who think responsibly will feel embarrassed, but in reality they as parents don't think well and let their children get to know betting more closely.

No, I don't live in Europe, but here where I live, lottery betting has been very popular for long time.
Even though it is prohibited and regulated by law, there are still some powerful individuals who protect series of lottery betting shops so that they are free from the law.
Here, lottery betting is always the same as normal days and there are no special days that can be used to hold certain events for lottery betting.
But in series of neighboring countries where I live there are already those who have official permits regarding gambling and lottery betting.
So everyone where I live plays online or buys tickets at the nearest lottery betting shop which is all centralized from neighboring countries that have permits official about gambling.

Of course it will be very interesting and see various news broadcasts every year which broadcast that there are several people who are lucky because at this celebration they got very big jackpot and managed to become millionaires.
This is truly amazing success, and of course anyone anywhere who likes gambling will really want to be able to participate in betting at every celebration like this.
