Didn’t know lottery can also be addicting when it fact you can place a bet on a minimal amount, wondering if she really cheated on that lottery system or she is just lucky to win 5 times and unfortunately lose everything again. Well, this is still gambling and probably she is with someone doing this thing. Using others money for your gambling activities is not good at all, avoid this at all cost and stay responsible.
She placed expensive bets, because she was trying to maximize the odds at her favour per ticket. The game she played is named Lotofácil (easy lotto).
It's possible to bet between 15 and 20 numbers per ticket (the more numbers you pick, the more expensive it's going to be the ticket). Most expensive ticket, containing 20 numbers, costs about 7750$.
If you match 11 numbers per ticket, you already guarantee a 1$ prize. 12 numbers give 2$, 13 numbers give 5$ and then for 14 and 15 numbers matched the prize isn't fixed, but its average is 272$ per 14 numbers matched and 160.000$ per 15 numbers matched (jackpot).
There are many sites on the internet teaching how to win on this lottery, as if it were possible to make it in a safe way. I guess the student must have had access to such websites and thought she could make it work.
Winning chance playing with 20 numbers (7750$ ticket):
11 numbers matched: 1 chance in 2,6 (prize 1$)
12 numbers matched: 1 chance in 3,9 (prize 2$)
13 numbers matched: 1 chance in 4,2 (prize 5$)
14 numbers matched: 1 chance in 17 (prize 272$)
15 numbers matched: 1 chance in 211 (prize 160.000$)
Imagine a student being exposed into gambling, I don’t know her exact age but the lottery should assess that girl first before allowing here to place a bet, this is very unfortunate to ruin her own reputation and her future. The authority and her parents should help her recover from this trauma and addiction. Gambling is not good at all if its already too much and if the money you are using is not yours, this could be a big lesson to everyone.
