Buying lottery is also consider gambling as you are using the money to buy a chance of getting a bigger return. And gamble is usually associate with negative returns and lottery in fact has one of the highest house edge so you will tend to lose more than you win.

Hello everyone, so I joined freebitcoin about a week ago, I can afford to buy around 500-1000 lottery tickets. But when I see last round the first winner has just 120 tickets but other winners got 10000+ tickets, if I buy around 1000 tickets, will it be worth and is it like gambling? Will it be addictive? Guys please tell me that lottery is second form of gambling or not?
lottery is one of the gambling games, whether it can be addictive or not it's depend on yourself, addictive to gambling is bad but addictive to lottery is worse because winning chance for lottery is really really small, and it is all depend on your luck, so you need to buy more ticket to increase your chance, so for sure you have a high risk of losing your money

yes its true, while we spend most of our money to expect that our number to be winner, there is small chance for us to win the games because we risk almost all of our money to buy lottery so better not to play lottery than any other gambling games if we don't want to loss our money.

Because, lotteries are purely luck based and what is the difference from other gambling types. When you are blindly risking your money only with the support of your luck you can call anything as gambling. Lotteries are one of that kind.

Yes put money in the lottery also includes gambling in my opinion. Because it's a game that requires bookmakers to play, and it included a raffle fate. The victory of the lottery depends on luck everyone. So I think that includes gambling.

Well as long as you are aiming to win and there is money involve like betting then surely that is gambling regardless the amount that you are going to allocate to lottery. And as long as there is a winner and there is a loser with money involved then that is considered as gambling. So if you don't want to gamble then don't bet in lottery.

Yeah I think the answer is obvious and we all know what the definition of gambling is. Lottery I think is one of those harmless types of gambling because the amount you're betting mostly is not that high but the prize is huge, It requires though all the luck in the world for you to win because the chances also in winning is very low

Yes lotteries are definitely considered gambling in my opinion. its just that with lotteries, your chances of winning are much much smaller than what you would usually see at casinos. meaning the payouts are usually much higher.
Yes, it's just gambling with high payouts and less high risks. I think lottery is one of the most addictive forms of gambling since when you don't win for a certain number of times you become optimistic and believe that you will win surely next time, while if you win in your first few attempts you will obviously get badly addicted.

Yes putting money in lottery is also gambling it is a type of gambling in which you bet your money for others money and no one will know who will win the lottery. The same happen in the end that one win the money and the other one lose all of his money to him.

As long as you are risking a money to win money then it is gambling... But anyway, lottery in real life is not as bad as other gambling games since you have to wait for the next day or few days draw before you will know the result... Therefore you are going to bet one at a time, unlike dice games in online gambling, you can bet as fast as the site could cater your bet...  Smiley
Lottery will not make you poor but it will not make your rich either, I do not even know if those people who testify that we saw on television are real winners or they are just paid to attract us and believe that we have a chance to win if we are just lucky, people pray for this as it will suddenly solve the problem if they can hit it.

If you want to hit the lottery then you need to be super lucky and there are very least chances that you will make it as most of the times you will loose and keep on putting your money into it hoping that you will someday in future.

Yes lottery is gambling too and I think it's one of the games that gets the most profit. Just take a look around you, almost everyone is betting on lottery. Everyone is wasting their money in hopes to get a shortcut to success. It has become a common thing in the society that it's not even seen as negative as any type of gambling. If people see you playing card games, they'll give you life advice and say that you have to change yourself when themselves are also gambling. SMH.

I know that but I usually do not play it, that is not entertaining for me and a waste of money. I wan't to achieve success in a slowly but sure way and I am willing to go through the right process.

Honestly, I am more having interest in doing parlay bets than lottery, a 1,000 odds with a good payout is like a lottery, but at least you will have fun capping games.

All money that you are going to bet or to place is already a gambling you are involving money there and you can say that it is a free bitcoin and you can really earn there or win you need at least to risk some money before you can win and before that you need to lose first before you win and then YEs you will become addicted into that thing.

It's a kind of gambling but becoming greedy is hard in lottery because the result comes after a long time instead of seconds. Even an hour is enough for a bet and you can control yourself. On dice games where we've got sometimes even >2 bets per second, you can't help but become greedy and lose all you got on you.

Lottery is gambling too since its involved risking money even in the smallest one and we need luck too to win this kind of gambling. It likes we bet on dice gambling sites at higher payout like 9900x or so! The chance to win it very small but when you hit it you are rich!
thats why many people played and trying their luck its a one hit big time deal, if you win you will be rich right away if you lose
you will keep on buying tickets not realizing that you are already spending too much money from it, and that's why it is also
consider gambling because of risking our money to bet for it.
