Not sure if I can still try my luck in gambling specially in lottery because I am not as lucky as others. because as far as I remember ? i tried betting in lotto for couple of years and indeed just a few small wins that I gather and my losses are truly huge so maybe this fever is not for me to enjoy lol.

First of all that Americans spent $5 billion on various lotteries in 2017 and $77.7 billion in 2018. if your story are true that is a huge jump really and the loteries companies is swimming in cash by now if the trend keep it up.
and second lottery in my country doesnt exist since it like gambling and gambling is illegal here in Indonesia but I tried a lot of time lottery in crypto back then there is site called moonpoot and you can win a prize by deposit certain amount of token and till the site closed I never win single penny haha

~ And yes, someone will win them, but someone will get hit by meteors too. We don't believe those odds either.
The difference between winning in a lottery and being hit by a meteor is that if you don't have a ticket it's a guarantee that you won't win. With meteor, on the other hand, it's different. We all have our "tickets" so to speak. But I agree with you that the odds of winning the Jackpot and being hit by a meteor are more or less the same. We just shouldn't forget that when we don't buy a ticket our chances of succeeding with lottery are zero.
Every gambler will risk money and hope for luck to come, after all in lottery no gambler will be able to win big or get the jackpot if it is not influenced by luck.
Strategy in lottery is actually just kind of belief that clearly does not show any guarantee of winning, so basically gamblers who bet on lottery are just gamblers who prepare money to lose.
This will never depend on who buys the ticket and wins, but logically if want to win have to risk certain amount of money and after that leave the results to our own fate.

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.
We don't even need to be bad in math for not grasping probabilities. We are able to think it logically and act like we would grasp such low winning odds, but in reality our brains aren't build to understand it as we never in our evolutional development needed to understand nothing but small groups and small numbers. We can vividly imagine spending a jackpot, so that seems like a possibility in our guts. We can't howevere see how small part our bet is on that raffle. Just the facts that we can see all the numbers throws us off and makes our lizard brain think that it's a possibility to guess them.Quote

I once read with interest an article about lottery strategies. Yes, lotteries also have strategies, although in general the likelihood of winning in lotteries is much lower. Than in trading and betting. If you want excitement and winning at the same time, then I would probably recommend sports betting. But if for some reason you are a fan of lotteries, then this can sometimes make sense too. But I would share the goals in the lottery. One goal is to obtain a minimally significant win and a completely different one is a strategy focused on getting the jackpot. As for the jackpot, I read about a mathematician couple who deliberately bought large quantities of lottery tickets and eventually won the jackpot. It was a fun strategy. As for the minimally significant winnings, the only thing that can help here is regular purchases of lottery tickets.
The only way i have been on mind on how to win up the lottery is to bet on tons of combinations on which this means that this would really require tons of money. In regarding on trying out to make out some strategies and calculations then this is something that would really be out of hand. Combinations in overall is something that cant be done by a single person.
Winning up lottery is really that close to impossible but surprisingly there are tons of people who do really likes on changing up their lives once they do hit up the jackpot.
It cant really be denied that lottery could really give out that kind of chance but of course you would really be needing that all luck in the world.
Just dont make yourself that desperate on betting out of hand.

We have our own way of betting and while many are expecting too much when they bet ? Well I am not because first?
I am not a fan of Lottery .
Second ? I don't wanna bet and expect too much because this will only lead me to disappointment .
instead I just love trying bet but don't want to expect so much .

I once spent a lot of money on lottery tickets, I once suffered from lottery fever. It was a very stupid experience, because I lost a lot of money on bets that had very little chance of winning. And what started me feeling obsessed with this type of gambling, was not because I had won it, but because at that time my brother managed to win the lottery and get a very large prize, which was thousands of times the amount bet. At that time I hoped that I would have the same luck, so I bought so many lottery tickets. But still, even though I had placed a lot of numbers, the luck never came, so I only got losses.
Departing from this experience, I feel tired if I have to return to that kind of gambling, even though currently there may be several people who have succeeded in getting prizes from the lottery they bought. However, with the large amount of losses I have experienced, for now I am no longer interested in having to buy lottery tickets again and spend a lot of money for uncertain results.

I don't bet in the lottery because I know that I'll never win. I don't even take chances even I know that there's the slightest chance that I can win there.
You will never win if you didn’t make a bet. Having 1 ticket is enough for you to have a chance to win. I always purchase 1 to 10 tickets whenever the jackpot prize is already high just to try my luck.

But with that revenue that the government of US getting from their citizens who consistently bet on their lottery, it's because that the pot is also growing.
I've heard that the pot has increased up to $1-B and that's why everyone is getting crazy trying to hit that jackpot.

I check the powerball website of US but I don’t see the billion dollars jackpot prize anymore. I read to in the news before that the pot prize increase to that level but there’s no news about who win that powerball.
It’s so awesome being a billionaire by just purchasing a ticket that cause only few dollars out of your pocket.
The prize pot has been reported reach into a billion just a few weeks ago.
US Powerball jackpot worth $1 billion up for grabs

it can't happen to me
This is what i do have in mind when it comes to gambling which it isnt really just that limited to lottery but also in other games as well on which if ever i do see someone do make out some huge wins
then i dont really make myself that trying out to reflect myself as a winner. Why? If you would really be trying out on having this kind of approach then you would really be definitely make yourself that desperate and we do know that one you do make yourself that desperate then you would really be ending up on making yourself that becoming impulsive on which it would really be ending up for you
to make out some bets on which it might really be ended up on tons of mistakes.
Just let them be to be winners, the important thing on here is that you dont make yourself on trying out to copy them because this is one of the most common reasons
on why people do really end up miserable just because they do find themselves that trying out to make themselves winners.

I am not playing Lottery since like... forever!
There are some online tools that allow you to calculate the real odds of winning in a game like this...
when you realize the real odds you have you should not play.
In my opinion, stop playing completely even though there are many winners and it is practically impossible for it to happen to you

I'm a Toto (4-digit lottery) player and haven't won anything lol. The chance of a 4-digit lottery is already slim, and you said that people were able to win on Powerball? Well, their luck must be crazy. To get a better idea of how lucky they are, I'd use myself as an example, I bought like 100 combinations out of 10,000 possible combinations (0000 - 9999) at least once a week this year, and got 0 winnings from it.
The lottery is a fun game if you somehow got some combination "revealed" to you via dream or whatever, and you bet a rather substantial amount (for a lottery) with the hope of getting rich and don't have to work for the rest of your life

If you are reading this and you actively participate in lotteries as an regular player, these kind of lottery success stories can evoke a lot of emotions and responses. Which of these range of thoughts and feelings do you experience;
- my time is near
- it can't happen to me
As a lottery bettor, I'm always positive about my chances I'm picking these two options because these are actually what I feel my time is near and this can happen to me.
When you're betting you're betting with hope and you pray that luck will hit you because there's no skill that you can use to have a good chance of winning chances so you rely on hope and prayers.
The majority of lottery bettors I talked with are betting because it's their way to change their lives and they told me that the numbers they picked are random or based on their favorite numbers or combination of their loved ones' birthdays and they put their trust to luck and their belief that their time to win is near.[/list]

I've heard a lot of stories but I am still pessimistic about the lottery. Never have I ever bet using my own money, it's just my grandfather who always asks me to bet for him and then I bring his pet numbers and the money to the lottery booth.
Of all the stories, I think they are mostly lies. The only truth that I heard is from my neighbor about his brother having pet numbers too and one day he forgot to make a bet and all the numbers came out.
I simply said to my neighbor that it was because the lottery system saw that no one made a bet on that and so all of it came out. But if his brother did make a bet that day, different numbers would come out of the lottery.
It's rigged, that's for sure. But still, many people are getting their hopes up thanks to the promised high jackpot amount and the stories that we don't know if they are real or not.

The common response I have seen is that I can also be a winner. But as I gradually understood how casinos and gambling work, it came to me that these games are all ending up the same way for almost evryone, a loss of money buying the ticket. The news is made to induce the greed and sense of challenge among the gamblers, so does big wins being posted on social media.
You have to see the logic and then only you can realise that these thoughts are wrong and that no one wins from the casino without losing more already.

I prefer spending less on luck-based things and spending more on businesses, investments, and others, risks are present but one is bigger than others.

The risk in the lottery game is huge. The chance of you winning is incomparable with your chance of succeeding in business, it's way smaller for sure. BUT. The question is what amount of your money you are putting at risk? With lottery it's $2-$3, and with business ... Often people risk everything they have when opening a business or at least they risk thousands of USD. Again, amounts are incomparable.
