I think if we can keep the taxation issue aside and be completely selfish - then buying a lottery ticket in enough number to be able to get the winning ticket is a loss in total. We are interested on our own gains instead of taxation, so if that itself is a loss, why buy the ticket at all? a chance of less than 0.0001% is practically equal to no chance at all - this should go in straight in everyone's brains.
Having a belief that there's some rituals or any superstitious belief that can help them increase there chances of winning is not wrong. If that can make them feel at ease or even comfortable while betting then let it be. Since in every country we have different traditions so expect that there will be a crazy suggestions about such thing we can read somewhere.
Also even the chance is low there are people still bet just for excitement since its really fun if you have something to wait especially in draw time. But what we should not do is to exceed especially with our expectation upon buying some tickets and we should not do panic buying to think that we can hit the possible winning numbers if we buy a lot of tickets since its a bad decision to take.
The adrenaline surge during a bet, the climax as results teeter, are undoubtedly emotional high points. Yet, the thrill should not be confused with an assurance of gains. Bear in mind, losses are more prevalent in gambling than wins.
Finally, the belief that owning more tickets elevates the likelihood of winning is misleading. This can prompt careless choices and a false sense of command. Each gamble is a distinct event; more tickets don't tilt the odds. Stay grounded and rational in your choices.
Such rituals just made just to make theirself feel relax on what bets they are trying to do and see some couple of people doing this and I don't see any problem with it as long as they are fine and also enjoying.
We all know that all is random so if they feel that they are just wasting their money for their bets without winning any single draw for long time then they should quit since there's nothing gonna happen if they continue and spend more because it will just make them lose huge without them knowing.
Also some think about owning tickets increase their chance to win but it doesn't give any sense at all especially if we talk about lottery since probabilities is so low and for that even if we take lots of ticket there's still a huge chance for us to lose similar to other who also place a small bets so we should lower down our expectation about this and just rely on 1 ticket luck since its enough on lotteries.
