Why worst? because you are likely have chances to be hit by lightning than winning a mega lotto. This is just to add to how it is hard to win the lotto yet we keep on buying lotto tickets thinking that it is just a small money with very big prize - it then become a habit - daily buying of lotto tickets.

When you try your luck in lottery means you have the bigger option of getting chances to win a big amount of money.In the sense that money involved thats gambling already,you gamble because their maybe a chance of  winning,remember big prize at stake if you win in lottery.

of course dice is better because it is easier to win even though you can only win smaller amount of money with it, lottery is also gambling and it is one of the worst gambling games

That's a lot of tickets that you're buying everyday. I usually only buy at most 3 tickets a month since I don't really do lottery. I'd rather play in casinos really. Lottery are pure luck testing way of wasting money. I never prefer it unless I have astrology predictions for winning based on my star signs. But, both lottery and astrology never say same thing.

Lol. Ofcourse it is gambling.

A person is gambling whenever he or she takes the chance of losing money or belongings, and when winning or losing is decided mostly by chance. Gambling in Canada has grown at an unprecedented rate over the last decade and is an increasingly popular recreational activity. While gambling was once illegal, or viewed as a disreputable activity, social norms have shifted. Gambling is now a multi-billion dollar industry in Canada, and its growth is likely to continue. Surveys indicate that the general population favours funding charities, health care and other important initiatives through the funds raised from gambling.

While some may consider gambling only to be associated with casinos and racetracks, there are countless activities that are considered gambling.
There are many different ways to gamble, including:

    casino games (Craps, dice, Sic Bo (Chinese dice game), Pai Gow Tiles (Chinese Dominoes), Slot machines, Roulette, Blackjack, Caribbean Stud, Three Card Poker, Casino War, Baccarat, Spanish 21, Pai Gow Poker and others)
    bingo
    keno
    slot machines
    lottery tickets
    scratch, Nevada or pull-tab tickets
    betting on card games, mah-jong or dominoes
    betting on horse racing
    other sports betting
    betting on games of skill, such as golf or pool
    tombola and similar games
    internet gambling
    stock market speculation.

This is the kind of betting that does not our well being. Betting according to habit and with money that we can afford to lose daily doesn't affect our inner being compared to betting with big bets and betting randomly.

Honestly im not greedy in lottery because its my hobby daily habit buying lottery ticket for me is always just fun.. but expecting also for a profit because its a large amount of win.. i won before and i make $1500.
putting money in lottery depends if you are the owner.. or the game is easy to win but the problem is those are risky..

Yes lottery is gambling and as you asked, lottery will also bring addiction which is usually due to greediness.
I have a friend who ruined his life with lottery, he bought too many tickets and he won few but very less money and loose with more lotteries.
Out of hoping to win more, he bought more lotteries with his all salary and also with loaned money later he was bankrupt.

Lottery is a form of gambling too. I always play in my national lottery and buy from 5-100 tickets to watch on TV on Sunday afternoon. I must say it brings me a lot of emotion during the time I am watching the numbers on TV. I always play 6 from 49 , chances are very slim like only 0.001% of winnings when you buy even a lot of tickets but if it happens I will be a rich man then.

Lottery is fun to play because you will not be addicted to it due to your chances, when a person is not winning even do he keeps on betting he will likely lose his interest in gambling so I would suggest that one should focus on lottery though your chances is very low.

Exactly lottery is also a gambling too and if there is money involve or any monetary unit or currency and you have a chance to win for it.
Then that is really considered as a gambling too so if you are going to see it clearly putting your money in lottery declares that you are gambling too.

Lol lottery is gambling too, and those winners that only have 120 tickets and got the highest amount of winnings is just lucky unlike those that bought lots of tickets.

yes no doubt about that both are gambling but the difference is that lottery is totally depending on luck and there is no involvement of mind and techniques, but i blaming with luck you also need a little luck, at least you must know the way of gambling but in lottery system you do not need for these things.

Yep, lottery is just another kind of gambling no matter how you put it. People think lottery is not gambling because it's a socially 'accepted thing'. If you pay for lottery ticket in real life every single day, then it's okay for people. They won't judge you. But if you do poker in casino every single day, then people think you're immoral, a gambling addict, and that you should be ashamed of "wrongdoing".

But if you look at the bigger picture, lottery is simply betting on a set of numbers and waiting for the next day to get the results.

There is no any doubt that it is also gambling, if you spend your money in there then you will have 50/50 chances of loss/gain, and with that if you chase your lose or if you started to earn and continue to spend more and more time in there then you will be addictive to it and will lose your time instead of spending it with your family and on your job.

But isn't gambling the same thing? You're placing a small bet hoping for a big win. I've earned $30 from $1 from lotteries, but that was just pure luck. Lotteries are like dice betting with BTC, where you choose a big payout.. luck has to be there in order to win a lot. And sadly, most of us never got this luck

This is no the place to advertise your lottery dude, please even if you advertise do not put big banners and anything similar to that. And the topic is whether lottery is gambling or not, you just said yes and then trying to get more people to your site.

And yes, lottery is gambling and I personally feel lottery is worst due to the bitter fact of I never won in lotteries.

Just my opinion, if you will just bet on lottery in bitcoin sites, just bet on the real lottery game, because there, the prize is increasing with the same bet amount, while in btc lottery games, it is not, its just faster.

Lottery I think for those who want to bet small money and totally depend on their luck, because in my life I have seen many gamblers and never saw anyone wining with it. The best I saw a friend won like 50$ with 1 $ ticket. That too I am sure after 100$ on wasting in tickets.

yes there is no doubt about this that putting money in lottery is also gambling because it also totally depend on luck and there is no use of mind or skill, in other gambling there is a little element of thinking or skill is present for example if you are betting in sports you will have a good experience of the sport and on which you are going to bet, you will also know about the player of the match but while putting money in lottery there is no skill or mind involve and that is totally depending on your luck.
