Topic: Lottery Fever. What are your range of thoughts in response to Lucky Winners? - page 4. (Read 555 times)

Not fond of lotteries however, it is not a hidden fact that there are people who dies without even winning anything from lottery and it is all because of luck and fate. Happy for those who won but if they will be compiled, of course the number would seem to be big and will make lottery promising. However, keep in mind that they won on different dates and that simply means there is really a huge difference in ratio between people who won and people who keeps on losing. Perhaps 1:10m of bettors as an estimate, now, would it still be promising just because people who experienced winning shared their words which are not even representative to the majority.

i am not against such gambling activity but at least lt us be realistic. There will never be something as success in gambling through consistency and persistence.

We certainly do have some big lottery payouts here in the United States.  What I tend to think when I see those payouts is either the person that got lucky and won didn't really even need the money and others are people whom tend to be a bit poor, or not well off and end up blowing through the money like it's nothing.  The reason being is they tend to not have good money management skills. 

This is the thought of those people who have been buying lottery tickets for many years but have never won anything, so every time they think about giving up and then see some news about a winner, then they get renewed hope, and that's why people Lottery companies market to lottery winners so that other people keep buying lots of tickets thinking that they too can one day win a lot of money like the person they are seeing being presented by the lottery company as the winner of a big prize. lottery companies use the darkness inside people's hearts to keep them buying lottery tickets


This is the thinking of people who work to have money, they know that to earn money they need to work hard and that this luck of winning money in the lottery is not something that happens to many people, so they are wasting money on buying tickets while They could use the money to buy something more useful and something that these people think about. and in my opinion they are right. lottery and the kind of thing I prefer to stay away from


This is the behavior of a desperate person, who has a serious financial problem and is not seeing a solution, so that person starts thinking about these types of things, but the problem with this thinking is that this person will spend money on buying tickets. lottery instead of taking that money and focusing on solving his problem. People often don't realize the power of saving money.

It is quite fortunate that many of these success stories of lottery winners happen more in the United States than elsewhere. It could be easier to win a lottery there seeing it is a place where dreams easily come true, where it's easier to buy the tickets and because of the advancement and progress the country has made.

As for the thoughts, it couldn't be any different than those one has during betting. While for me, it will always be a wish to win, I sometimes do feel indifferent about the results and go with the flow so as not to get emotionally stressed from the thoughts of how it should be.

I have not tried out any lottery game, because people that get those lottery tickets ends up not winning. I have only tried out the American visa lottery, but still I didn't win it. So I believe that lottery isn't my thing.

A friend of mine was lucky to hit the jackpot, and he invested the money into a business. He is doing well now and is successful. I believe that we all have our various time for us to be lucky, and not it is not compulsory that our luck most come from gamble.

This is completely a game based on luck, and we never know when luck will strike. Moreover, this is a type of gambling where the chances of winning are very small. I've been playing this type of gambling for quite a long time, even for half a year. But luck never came, and what I bet on, it was all in vain. I ran out of patience waiting for luck, it was really boring, placing and buying lottery continuously, but never getting a win.

And even though there are several people who managed to win the bet, for me I have lost respect and am no longer interested in buying lottery tickets. Because of what I have experienced for half a year, this is more than enough to prove that buying lottery tickets will only waste the money we have for nothing. Even though the price is quite cheap, if you calculate it in total, I have lost quite a lot from this bet.

That's what people will feels when they see the lottery success stories. They will still buy the lottery ticket as they wants to be the next winners. They will not see that still difficult because they believe that someday, they will be the winner with winning much money like them. That's dangerous for them because they will not stops until they can wins even if they must used more money to buy the ticket lottery. Their dreams to be the winners is so strong and that makes them to allocates some more money to buy the tickets. Yes, seeing the news about the lottery winners can makes their emotion becomes higher and they will dreams to be the top by winning the lottery. It's a life changer when they can wins from the lottery because we talks about much money that people can't imagine.

Of course as a gambler, we still believed that even if the odds are stack against us, we could win that big jackpot one day. And as you can see, there are people who bet on lottery with the same thought as everyone, to have that windfall, so why not try your luck? You will just win if you don't believed in yourself that you can win it. And with that, from time to time, I will go and buy ticket or if by chance there is one in a gas station, then I will take that risk as you don't know what is instore for you. Maybe you got lucky with one scratch and get $100k, or a pick six that turns out to be the winning number.

Not only in the US, if you talk about lottery gambling, I can guarantee that almost all countries in the world have lottery fever, In my country, the money spent on lottery gambling is estimated to reach US$ 1.5 billion per year. Just imagine the enthusiasm of people who want to win many times over in lottery gambling.

For example what happened in Singapore.
Singaporean wins nearly $6 million jackpot with $1 lottery ticket.

In Singapore the lottery is opened four times a day with predetermined opening times, morning, afternoon, evening twice, this is a sign that public interest in the lottery is very large, compared to other types of gambling, meaning we can know more about how much total assets come into the lottery. on lottery gambling sites.

Apart from that, many people think that lotteries are not too risky because they are not the same as slots, after placing the numbers you are done, just wait for the numbers we have placed to be correct or not, if you are lucky you take the money, that's simple.

That was 1 digit close and this is really something that you cant really be able to forget for the rest of your life specially if its an opportunity that you could really be able to changed up your entire life
considering that this one talks about multi millions. You would really be having thought that you have won something big even just hitting that 4 digits and 2 starts. So far in my lottery experience
i havent been able into a situation on hitting up almost hit kind of condition. So far out of 6 digit combinations i do able to hit up 3/6 so far on which i have been betting for several months
and ended up on having realizations that this might not for me. Yes, its no sense that you are expecting on hitting it right away but im really that too skeptical
on the money or funds that you've been using for a long time which it would be better that you should really be making use on other possible things but well its just a peanut
amount and this is why people wont really be bothering much.

About 15 years ago my then gf (now wife) bought a Euromillions ticket. The jackpot was €85,000,000 if I recall correctly. To win the Euromillions jackpot you need to get all 5 numbers correct and the 2 stars. Any way to cut a long story short we got 4 numbers and 2 stars.

I was looking at the numbers on our ticket, frantically checking the numbers online, thinking we’d won something big. Turns out it’s a lot more important to get 5 numbers regardless of how many stars you get. We got 4 out of the 5 numbers and 2 stars. We won approx €4,000 which is nice obviously but not life changing. If we had got 5 numbers & 0 stars or 5 numbers and 1 star it was six figures.

Funnily enough my gf picked the number 24 (which was the 1 incorrect number) and the number we needed to win €85,000,000 was 23. I don’t think I’ll ever forget this experience sadly.

I also wish to win but it's ironic for me since I seldom buy lottery tickets hehe. Buying some meme coins early hoping it would do 1000x has a higher chance of happening that winning the lottery.

You forgot to take into account the taxes which is also pretty high in US. Her net winning was worth $64,800 after taxes so that only about one year. The article also stated that she's unhappy with her for job so winning the lottery gave her a breathing space while she looks for another one.

Maybe I was hopeful to win a lottery ticket far back in time not now. Maybe I have become more knowledgeable and wiser to know such winning is not for everybody so I have to treat it with some unseriousness and don't keep my hope on it

In my jurisdiction, there has also been allegation of manipulation of the numbers that will become the winning numbers for the jackpot. Although this has not been proven but it is making the customers have some doubts in their mind.

This news surely a result of a fever. I can’t imagine quoting my job by just winning 90K USD although it’s already huge but not enough to secure my future without my job. Her decision is probably due to impulse of winning or she really doesn’t like her job for her to quit with this amount of money which is probably a year worth of salary on their country.

What kind of response to the winner are you trying to get here OP? Aside from the woman winning back to back. The shows how Virginia is very lucky to have a lot of lottery winners.

I'm a lottery owner and my thought after my bet is my time is near because you never know because all the lottery bettor owners do not know if they are going to win, they hold on to the thought that they are going to be the next winner until it happens.

I congratulate those winners even if they are new bettors or have been betting for many years the fact that they've won when it's against all odds to win, fate has led them to win that jackpot and I have to congratulate for hitting the jackpot.

My response is the following:


I play the lottery from time to time, but more for social reasons than anything else. Playing every week and playing several games is putting hope in something where the odds are against you. It is better to put that money in something that will potentially favor you in the future, like buying bitcoin.

In my country, we do not have the lottery fever like the US do. Although there's a company called Baba Ijebu lotto that works something similar to it but I don't see any one enthusiastic about it.

Reading the headlines of people who have won the lottery only got me feeling like I were the one. I think of the good life the jackpot would bring me and after 20 minutes or so, I am back to my normally self.

I have never seen anyone who buys a lottery tick who isn't optimistic but it seems that it is the less optimistic or indifferent people who end up winning.

I wish I could win, even if it meant lower jackpots

It would really be good on hitting up millions because that would really be a life changing amount which its normal but i do even wish on hitting up a few tens or hundred of thousands. On which it would
really be that an amount that could changed up my life and would be able to make some business and would retire early from my day job.
This is why its not really that surprising that lottery would really be making out that kind of bigger pool.

Here in our country usually the amount of lottery being pooled doesnt really bloat or make that bigger amount because it is really just that too easy
for it to be win.Unlike on other countries on which it is really that hard to win up those lotteries on which it would really be making out that kind of question in mind
on how the heck is this happening.

In my country, the lottery is very popular. In every place, you will see lottery outlets that sell tickets to the players, and you will not see an outlet that doesn't have a player that is participating in it. That's also why the price of each lottery event is so high in a short time. Even though the price is a very huge amount, not all people will win it, and you are not sure that the winners are actually real people. Because there's a recent incident in my country that talks about the suspicious lucky winner of the lottery, the image of the winner is so edited that many people notice it. That's why I also lose hope in the lottery in my country because I think it is possible that the government will fabricate the winner in order to claim the prize and maybe recycle it or what.

I'm in between being indifferent about it and "what'd I'd do I wonder if it was me" kind of mindset. It's not something wrong imo, imagining being in place of someone who got immensely lucky in something (or even someone famous in general really) is something at least all humans have done at least once in their entire lives. Might be happening to me more often though but hey, nothing wrong with imagining if it's kept with me. Sometimes I'm just left with indifference since I know it's not something a "what if" can solve, so I just let it be.

I still play lotteries sometimes, usually whenever there's a meaningful date since I use that and a bunch of other random combinations to use as card combinations for my tickets.
