Yes, because waiting is boring which makes you pessimistic and the opportunities are few, getting the jackpot is everyone's big dream who will turn himself into a billionaire who can achieve what he wants and so on.
The Toronto woman is very lucky and luck is on her side and of course through the process that she goes through, sacrifice, patience and so on until she achieves luck.

In my opinion, a long wait for the result is an advantage of lotteries and not a disadvantage. In most cases, people buying a lottery ticket understand that most likely they will not win anything. But they buy more - they buy the hope of a huge win. Therefore, until the results are announced, they have hope.

Definitely it should be a hobby, otherwise if you are too serious with lottery, you'll be bankrupt easily.

Just imagine the bettors chance of winning, not even close to 1% and you are spending a lot of money when you bet, that's a suicide to be frank.
This kind of lottery is usually for charity, the word itself says you are only donating money, means you'll likely to lose, 99%. Grin

It good to treat the lottery as a hobby but the lottery is not the only gambling that people ought to treat as a hobby and the last time I checked lottery game players barely bankrupt because a $50 bet is enough to become a Millionaire win. However, according to my research the chance of winning in a lottery game is 1 in 13,983,816.

That's it, the cost that you may I guess will spend in the lottery is a pretty small amount upon purchasing tickets but when you hit the jackpot is quite enough to live like a billionaire and to have an early retirement. These are the most one of the dream in every p[people who bet in the lottery but in fact, the chances of winning is very small.

If you will look around here, a gambling lottery will not exist, why? Because people get bored of waiting for the result but it will always end up losing your capital. On other hand, that was a lucky day for Toronto women who won the big prize.

You are absolutely right about the existence and flourishness of lottery gambling in crypto currency setting because I could remember a gambling site (Match Billion) that try to do it but it later exit without any new about their shutdown. I personally somehow like the lottery gambling because it doesn't require spending much time on the game and the winning are usually awesome but I don't know why we can't have a genuine lottery crypto related gambling site.

It is what I'm saying that whether we're the same as her or not, we're still betting as usual. We'll bet as if we're going to win because we think we are or we're not because we're aware that it's a luck based game and there's no way that we can predict the result of it.

We wish someday we can win like her, and no matter how much money we can win, that still our winning. As the lottery ticket is not too expensive to buy, that is the reason why we still buy the lottery and hope that we will get lucky to win the jackpot. Many people rely on that, so they still buying the lottery ticket.

In the otherside, there are many people who are still leaning with luck, thinking that they'll be able to hit the winning number and change their life forever.

We can't remove that fact, lottery gives hope to those people who do believe with luck, even they'll just saying in words that they are just enjoying betting with high risk bets knowing that the winning chance is really small compared to other types of gambling but once luck permits you to win, you'll never know what you'll do with the winning money that you'll have.

That is normal if they think that they can hit the winning from their luck. But what they don't know or forget is they can't always have their luck come when they gamble, so they keep playing gambling without thinking to stop.

In many countries, the lottery is something that gives promising that makes them always buy the lottery. They rely on their luck when they buy a lottery, and even if they know the chance is not too big, they still buy the ticket and hope they can win.

Yes, that is right. That is why when playing the lottery, we don't have to think about winning because the risk of loss will be bigger, and the money will easily go. The chance will not too big as the lottery game is base on luck itself. If the lottery is for charity, people will not think about the prizes because they know that the money will be distributed to people who needed it. I wish people will know that playing the lottery is for searching for pleasure and not making money.

Its pretty obvious that everyone who do make out bets through lottery would really be having that one common motive which is to hit that jackpot no matter what.
I dont see any entertainment on betting or buying tickets but rather those prayers and hopes that they would able to get the right combination.This is indeed a life
changing opportunity that can only happen once in a lifetime and thats what makes them motivated on buying those tickets and even other people do
even made or believe some superstitious beliefs that it would increase their odds or chances of winning.

*why are you angry, there is nothing wrong with the words @xandry...
It's a funny thing when someone in the crypto community puts fiat more than investing in cryptocurrencies. if I were that woman I would buy stocks, some houses, and Bitcoin.

If someone wants to go for low-risk investment, then it is perfectly understandable. Both the stock markets and the real estate market looks overpriced to me right now. Let's not forget the fact that the stock indices are at ATH levels, moving up by almost 70% from the 2017 levels. The only low-risk asset for me as of now is bullion, especially gold. Even treasury bonds and bank deposits are not looking very attractive due to lowered returns.

*Sorry but we're talking about $ 60 million here...
I and you live in different areas but we have the same fear. in my country, that $60 million can feeding up to the seventh generation. Bitcoin is a phenomenal asset over the last 10 years just imagine in the next 10 years what will happen to the price of Bitcoin. it's not wrong to be in the safe zone but if I was that woman I would set aside at least 30% of that money to buy Bitcoin.

What lottery bettors will think if they get to read this news in Toronto, the first that will come to their minds is the chance. The chance is there even if it's only 0.0000001% of chance or lower than that because it did to the woman who has been doing that for 20 years. And another thought would be like this, "what if I didn't bet for this day" and so on. That's also one probable mindset that woman and her husband have been thinking for those years. Because if they did just missed that bet before winning, there's no news about their jackpot.

I think that woman is just like a feeling of playing in the rain that it will have a drain in your unit. I hope he can be like us searching and finding thinks that we're the one who will release that person, maulyhe that person wants some irrelevant kind of thing since I am busy what happen to you comnt and let us see if that is regularly. I think that one is not belong to the cycle is a good thing to remove that and wait for them to sunrise because new topic and new fomo will be earlier.

Honestly, I don't understand what you said.

Whether you buy or not just like that woman, you're still betting casually.

I prefer to buy some gifts for people closest to me, but I will never tell them that I hit the jackpot and win big money.
I prefer to go to my bank and save all of the money in my bank account, and I only get some small amount for my daily life.

You sit on a cryptocurrency forum and dream of putting all your money in a bank account? WTF? What about buying Bitcoin for at least part of the funds or some other cryptocurrency?

What are you talking about hyesos? Maybe you are noob? Maybe you wanna sosat my hyi?

She and the husband collecting the same number is nothing but just to increase they chances of winning, and once luck is on your side then any random number could be the winning number. I have seen so many women winning lottery lately and that amazed me greatly.

Or probably they constantly put the same number for years because it has the chances of increasing their winning as a lucky number. For many people when they engage in lottery, they have lucky numbers. This could be theirs.

And also consistency. They were consistent in keeping the number until it had it hit after a very long year of waiting. We will never know even if someone becomes consistent for 20 years, there's no assurance that they'll be hitting the jackpot.
Maybe when they were betting on that number, they just made it as a hobby and didn't expect that it will hit someday until it finally did.

It will better if we can use the lottery game as a hobby and we buy the ticket occasionally and not trying to buy as that woman. We don't have to think about when we hit the jackpot because we never know the time, and we can buy it continuously. But it will be better to allocate some money, for example, $10-$20 monthly, and we never use more than that amount.

Perhaps, consistency and persistence will bring luck to us, so someday we can hit the jackpot by coincidentally. That will surprise us if we can hit it after we wait for a long time like that woman.

Lottery in the end is just a type of gambling that requires super luck. There's less than one percent of someone winning. Comparing it to gambling dice/cards, I'd take the latter any other day tbh. The chances are just abyssmal, and to even think of winning? Nah. I'd reckon most just buy a ticket since it's quite cheap for most people, and even if they lost, no issue there, not like they would have expected to win anyway. I'm pretty sure no one enters the lottery thinking of him winning, it's just mostly for fun, or just a habit of sorts.

The difference between playing lottery and playing dice with 0.01% win chance is that with dice you make a lot of bets, thousands, or tens of thousands, but few people buy that many tickets for lottery. So, lottery is much safer, imo, and that's why so many people participate in it without becoming addicted to gambling.

She and the husband collecting the same number is nothing but just to increase they chances of winning, and once luck is on your side then any random number could be the winning number. I have seen so many women winning lottery lately and that amazed me greatly.

Yeah I noticed also that it seems to be more woman winning the lottery lately. Would be nice to know if it is actually the case or just these cases just get more news coverage. Also it is kind of sad that all these lottery winners tend to be anonymous. It would be a great TV show to check in with the lottery winners after 1 year and 5 years and maybe even 10 years. Just to see how their life and their families changed in that time. I bet there would be a lot of people watching it.
