what I think about the lottery, for me the lottery is just a moment of entertainment to relieve boredom and burden of mind. If I win maybe it's my luck once in a lifetime because the ratio of winning the lottery is 1:1000.
why does anyone win so many times? means that the person is very lucky, but how many times has the lucky person participated in the lottery, and how much capital has been spent.

What's your opinion on lottery, whether it is an addicted gambling practice or it is quite Ok to buy lottery regularly. There are people who allocate separate fund from their earnings for lottery. Only the luckiest will make the win, and today got to read about a lucky winner on the UAE lottery. It is the first time in his lifetime buying a lottery, and he had won about $3 million. He's working as a labour and he has said to the media he'll buy agricultural land in his village (India) and support develop the school in his region.
Agricultural Land is a good investment. Hope he buys the $3M worth of agricultural land otherwise, he will have tons of unrecognizable relatives.
He is got to be the luckiest Indian who one day happens to just buy a lottery ticket and then the rest is riches. I see my dad make use of his walking exercise in the afternoon to go to a lottery ticket booth and back to the house and he does this every day even before he retires from his job. I kept telling him it's a rigged game, and we could just drink the money he spend on it. But this time he just says it's for his daily exercise that matters.

Lotteries are as addictive as gambling because if you buy lottery once then you will probably buy it again in the hope of winning the grand prize.
The failure in winning the lottery triggers our inner emotions to keep trying again and again making us addictive towards the grand prize.
So I would say this is the same as gambling and we should try to have a self control and limit ourselves from buying these lotteries.

For every one like that there are more than 99% who lose money in the lottery in their lifetime. If you add up what they have won, which are usually withdrawals and small prizes, and subtract what they have spent, the vast majority lose money.

The lottery is basically an EV game, what happens is that since for a derisory amount it can change your life, many of us play, and I include myself, in spite of the fact that the mathematics are against us.
As for whether it is addictive, it is much less so than other game modes, even now that you can buy it online.
I'm not buying that first time buying then win a lottery that makes him an instant millionaire. 
I'm sure there's a plot of that story and the editor just made it to look like that to go viral.
So, anyway, i think lottery is just a number games that based on your luck and if that story about Op is true then I can't say anything but congratulations to that guy. His idea of helping his fellowmen is rare and I've seen someone did that too in order for their place to rise and fight poverty.

depends if the person can afford to buy a lottery regularly. and yeah it can be addicting. the fact that the ticket is cheap is probably one of the reasons why a lot of people buy lottery tickets even if their chance of winning is slim to none. although I haven't been doing it lately, I too used to allocate a portion of my salary to buy lottery tickets on a regular basis.
the lottery is a gambling that prioritizes very good luck ,rarely does anyone win the lottery up to 3 million like that with a capital of only a few tickets or maybe only one ticket ! I read your article a little touched that person will buy farmland for a decent life have won in the local lottery once but the prize is not much
One can as well get addicted to lottery just like every other gambling practices. Buying lottery regularly is an addictive act because as time flies it gradually plays out that staked funds keeps increasing as the eagerness to make some great return from investment keeps pushing the hunger to play more. Lottery is one game where once testimonies of those who have played and won and how much they were able to win gets to spread the hunger to play more gets activated because the believe that some day the gambler too could be lucky plays out

For a gambler? of course it's a good deal to buy a lottery ticket but you have to understand the chances of winning on this game.
And just like any games, you don't need to be addicted to it as obviously, it is another game of chance. And that is true, it is base on luck. And maybe that's what really to this guy, who is a first time buyer of lottery tickets but fortunately for him, lady luck is on his side. And the good thing is that he is trying to get back to his community by building a school. "Karma begets karma".
I feel you need to be more specific in saying the lottery because at this time the lottery is one thing that is quite common and has many kinds.
I personally am still in this case, but indeed we all know that they must be really lucky in this case because this really tests your luck factor there
But on the other hand I don't think of it as gambling because I really feel this is my entertainment when I'm tired

I came accross a video on Instagram about this news I guess today, so yes if the luck wants to hit you hard it will happen so no matter who is buying lottery tickets regularly ir its just the first time in his life but don't become addicted to it which is the worse possible thing to happen when it comes to luck based gambling, anyway for him the new year begins with a lucky slap which is going to change his entire life. 
There are many type of lottery out there, I think you should mention a specific type of lottery you want to discuss or get opinion from others.
I myself was a lottery fan in the past (during 2008-2013) IIRC and it was a 4D lottery which is the most popular lottery in my country.
I have to admit that I was addicted to it in the past, I spent a lot of money during that 5 years and I bought it almost every day.
Lost a lot money in my first 2-3 years but luckily I could win big amount eventually which recover my whole lost money + small profit then I decided to reduce my activity in buying lottery and I could 100% stop it after 5 years play it regularly.

Statistics has shown that winning a lottery is like 1 is to 200-300 million. So that is a long shot already. But why are there several people who not only won once, but many times already? Well, my simply answer is that they are extremely lucky and they stick to one numbers that they have been betting for the rest of their natural life. Of course, everyone can buy a ticket, but the odds are pretty much against you, just saying.
