Like every single gambling game out there lotteries have a house edge, and on average the house edge you need to face when participating on the lottery is very high, however the appeal of winning a lot of money by just spending a few dollars is too high for many people to resist, especially the ones that have very little resources, as there have been studies that shows that those which have a low average income are the ones that buy the most lottery tickets.
One of the advantages of lottery betting is only having a relatively low betting price but with a large enough nominal prize if the predictions made to bet the lottery can be right.
I don't think there is any advantage other than that mate.
After all the lottery is a type of bet that has the interest of certain gamblers and only those who are chasing the jackpot are willing to buy a lottery ticket.
If you can buy up to 80% of the number of lottery tickets, your chances of winning can be even greater. But that requires a lot of money, even though the lottery ticket prices are cheap. Apart from that, we also can't expect to win because we must remember that the luckiest people among us will win the lottery.
We should consider making the lottery just one of our entertainment instead of spending a lot of money to buy lottery tickets. We also don't need to risk losing money all at once because our goal in buying lottery tickets is just to get entertainment and pleasure from the lottery.
No mate I would never do anything like that just to win a lottery bet.
Only a fool would buy 80% of the total tickets available just to win them because the winnings may not necessarily exceed what has to be spent to buy all of them.
It's the same as only relying on luck to win, so it's better to bet on a game such as slots, craps, roulette or even sports betting.
But yes, this is gambling where there is no certainty and it all depends on who is lucky to win.
