Sure its gambling what you would say about lotery its just a game? Which you throw money to the jackpot, and play against others trying to get the main prizes. Makes no diference lotery of bitcoin as the real lotery systems, people keep gambling at lotery even with the soo many financial problems showing up.
That's individuals decision and they have the freedom to spend their money, I know lottery does not really make you lose big because you just have to bet a small amount of money hoping you can win the jackpot which normally millions. Even if you have problem, you still have the right to enjoy.
Lottery can in fact make you lose big, if you buy hundreds of lottery tickets, that is not really that different than putting hundreds of bets on the roulette, slots or blackjack.

agree with you mate. playing lottery can really lose us big especially when we buy bunch of tickets thinking that more tickets means more chances to win. Well, this maybe true but let us be realistic to the fact that lottery has more number combinations than any gambling games out there - you need to buy hundreds or even thousands of combinations before you can really hit the jackpot. You can do that but your bet is much way bigger than your jackpot winning.
and its a matter of luck because even a single ticket holder will win if luck permits him, this habitual small way of gambling can be an easy passing way to become rich is really hitting the market i guess no one here doesn't want to be an instant millionaire right.

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?
Playing and placing bets is all ready considered as gambling if you are playing in lottery you're involving money there and buying it and even it's free it's already a gambling. And if you win you can get more money because they gonna prize is money too and gambling is just a gambling.

Yes as long as there's money at stake it is consider as gambling.. so for me lottery is also a type of gambling in which you place a bet on a combination of numbers which you think will win.

Lottery is one kind of gambling, and its the same if its from a private company or from state lottery. Isn't an addiction problem if you buy a ticket every week, lots of people plays every week one ticket to states lottery (its an small price for a big prize), but it can be a problem if you buy lots of tickets every week.

Exactly, even if you do put some penny every week when combined those it is still a big profit for the house. So in the end you end up losing instead of gaining and that does usually happens to gambling(lottery)
Well I think the lottery is a gamble that is very difficult to win, because the players very much. Well, you would be very lucky person if winning it. Well, the lottery has become a gambling game for a long time, but not everyone thinks it's a gamble.

Thats  what  im thinking too  on  why  people  keep  on  betting  on this  kind  of game  which fully rely   their  fate  on it. They  keep  betting and  buying lottery tickets  even they  do have difficulties  on   financial  state.  If you are a wise and a practical person  you should  really  not let yourself  to get  involved  with this because you will surely  lost  most  of your  money  i dont  mind of getting  millionaire in  an instant . Better to save than to gamble which  you  know  that  chances  is very small.
I just buy lottery tickets when I have an extra money only, sometimes I place my numbers with my instinct. Winning in this kind of game depends on luck like dice games, I don't expect to win. I just pray and let miracle happen, yeah it sounds weird.  Grin If it is really meant for you then you'll have it.
People do  really differ on their  beliefs  and also  to their  interest  and  aim which isnt bad at all as  long you dont compromise  your  money too much  on  buying  lottery tickets then  its  should be  fine. People  would really hope to win  in  lottery because its  just  once in a  lifetime  opportunity  to become  rich  in an instant  and i  agree with you  if that  money  is really meant for you then  it would be  given to you.

Lottery is the worst kinda gambling because the chances of win is very little, I mean, statisticaly it's the worst percentage.. Always when you're about to buy a significant aount or cash there's no "skill" involvded, there's a lot or player so the chances are even low. So, in resume, lottery is the worst gambling type of all kinda games.

Both of them are forms of gambling because there's no assurance of winning. I know a lot of people who have been buying lottery tickets for years now, but haven't won anything yet. The chance in winning at these lotteries are even smaller if you think about the numerous combinations which add to the odds stacked against you.
its pure of luck type of gambling its really hard to win but if you do you will became the richest person in your neighborhood
that's why a lots of pour or most of pour people who's trying to keep buying lotto ticket and gamble for their fate if only they
realize that if they save that money they already have a lot..

Though its a gambling or a lottery. Both of them are similar concept.  In gambling,  you are wagering and playing on different games like online slot machines, Minesweeper game,  roulette ,etc. If you are lucky,  you win some amount.  

In lottery , you are wagering on random numbers . If they come up and your bought tickets won. You get the specified amount given on lottery tickets.

A lot people bought a bunch of lottery tickets in the hope they can win it easily or at least has more chances to win. Putting money in lottery is like gambling at 9900x payout on dice game. Sometimes we can hit it with a little effort but most of the time we will hit it after a very very long try. Its for sure putting money in lottery is a part of gambling too! 

i believe putting money in lottery is even worse than gambling with 9900x specially when you do it online on some of these lottery sites. because when you play dice you always have the option to check the provably fair system by checking the hashes but in lottery you never know if the winner was picked randomly for real or did the site inject so many of their own fake numbers to win!

Lottery is also another kind of gambling. You have put your money into risk in order to grow it. Thats like your trying to  hit a jackpot or highest/lowest number in dice.
