It is due to the small price of the ticket. When you choose to buy coffee or ticket - it is easy to buy a ticket. And it is easy to dream about big prize. And someone even win it. But the maths says that it would be better to make a deposit or invest it in something more real than this prize. At least - just but a coffee.
I always think something, when a person buys a lottery ticket, perhaps they are not so clear about their possibilities, but a very strong hope arises in them to be able to cling to it, in their minds a very great possibility grows and that is something that they always have on their mind, there is no other way, even if you tell them that it is very difficult for them to win, they will always buy, because for them their faith moves mountains, for that reason there is always that possibility of always staying very up to date with everything that has to do with lottery things, it does not matter if the ticket increases in price, for them the best thing will always be that lottery, and if they do not win, they keep hope to continue playing, they are things that they always pass.
I have a friend who plays a lottery in Colombia, and it is a lottery that has 4 digits to win, the truth is that I see it as very impossible to win, because 4 figures is a lot, what can happen here is that you have a Good luck winning, sometimes the numbers for these lotteries are not all sold, because the lottery is played every day and that is something that really affects the probability, in the case of the possibilities there are many, but the probability decreases enormously .
This friend buys that ticket for 10,000 COP, which is almost equivalent to 2.5USD, he does it every day, and he buys it with the same faith in winning, so these things for him say that he can get a lucky shot and if he wins it He buys a house that is very big, and he has in mind that it costs 20,000 dollars, it is farm-style, where they have horses, cattle, it is quite large, the truth is that it seems to me that it is a great option, and I tell him a house of A lot of money is spent on these, because it is needed to do the maintenance, really a house like that needs to be working and working every day, of course they can farm there , but I think that it is necessary to find personnel so that it is always well.
It because he see only everyday spends. And it is only $2.5. But in month it is about $70. It is not a big sum but he can buy some stocks every month. As for me the result would be better than from the lottery.
Of course you have a chance to win big prize. But there are about a million same men and women that have the same chances. And in stocks your chances much higher.
Well, your calculations and vision are very correct, this friend is the Same one who has another who always plays dice, and I think that the one who plays dice spends much more than the one who doesn't, the one who always spends on the ticket , Well, it has that Expense , it's $70 , but when it comes to calculating it , it weighs a lot , and it's something that they don't take into consideration because they prefer not to take that number into account, they take it as a daily burden, something like drinking water , or eat lunch, for him it is his normal expense.
Now, among the possibilities, what you say is very true, I have tried to convince him to buy bitcoin, and he is interested, except that he does not handle any PCs and understands almost nothing, however, I have told him about bitcoin, how You have to do to learn , watch some videos, it's difficult, that friend is over 50 years old but he has the spirit of a young man, because he does things like a young man, he dresses like a young man, and he does very well with women, so it's one of those people who stands out and has a good vibe, he is also a very good person, I have told him, he says yes, he wants to do it, but he is a person who is so Involved in his work, in what he does, that he really he spends all day on it and it's hard for him to read.
These types of people are the ones who are special so that they can make long-term investments, because the work they do doesn't have any time left , I usually sleep late, because they go to bed late, their work makes them arrive at 11pm sometimes 2 AM, then when he sleeps he gets up at 9am and from there the merchandise is distributed, then Afternoon he returns and does the same process , they are really things that he doesn't have time to read , or watching videos , things like that, because the work he does is risky , so where he buys is part of what he goes and looks for, he goes to the lottery station, which there are also many , and he Buys it , the most important thing is that buy the ticket because where he walk there are many lottery agencies.
