Topic: Why Choose Lottery Instead Of Anything Else? - page 16. (Read 7650 times)
It is all about that feeling when you hit the special number. People feel special when they hit the jackpot. Buying stocks and watching charts are boring stuff for them. I never see the logic in their actions as well but I somehow understand it. If you played any RPG games where you need to gear your character up, you would understand, the feeling is pretty close. I still remember how It felt when a good unique item gets dropped in diabloII.
It is not surprising why many people play lottery games because of the chance to win huge amount of money with small bet. FYI, lottery is still the most popular gambling game in my country although gambling is ilegal but there are still so many people buys lottery tickets every single day online or offline. Aside from the chance to win big, the other reason can be related to its simplicity. People buy tickets then wait for the result, people do not need to spend their times too much to play it unlike the other games where people need to stay for longer time in gambling.
Great video for reference, but even if you invite lottery bettor to watch the video, I don't think they will be come converted and will not bet anymore, they are following their dreams, every bettor is a dreamer and they are betting with their hopes.
So I've been wondering a lot time now why some people choose to play lottery which is made in such a way that it's statistically impossible to win and not any other game that gives about 49% chance to win? In online crypto-gambling there are a lot of such services.
I also play the lottery and people like me play the lottery because if I win the jackpot it answers all my needs, and unlike all the other form of gambling I only need to win once, and that is the jackpot, to become financially free , compare to other forms of gambling, you can win many times but your winnings are nothing compared to the lottery jackpot prize if you hit it.
Personally I'd advice against gambling overall but if someone insists on playing something without thinking or using skills, then why not buy a random stock? That'd give them 50% chance to win and with some research they could increase this chance.
We all are advising most of the readers here to insist on gambling but it turns out most of them are already addicted to it.
Nice video though, it is funny especially the part where he said, "6-9-6-9-6-9" so proudly and the guy is like "uughh!", well I think people are used to that joke nowadays. Anyway, that is so true, they are not thinking how much they can spend in 5 years since it is a small amount of money this day. I hope a lot of cousins can watch this video and some that are really addicted to this lottery. Also, don't mind about the signature since they will be the one responsible for clicking that and it is not like you are saying they should click it.
Qoute from the video:
"... it stays legal is because the government is the profiteer of your hopeless dreams."

Hope you realize everyone gamble in one way or the other, gambling general isn't bad but when you get obsessed with it which results to addiction is when it becomes bad. Next time you might want to promote something you agree to and not just to do it for the money. During your spare time, you can read this topic

Back to your topic, The only reason I can think of why gamblers might prefer choosing lottery Instead of anything else is because they're feeling lucky, personally I only play lottery when I'm feeling lucky. Although the chances of winning are impossible I still believe I have a shot since someone else has previously won.
I don't think that's the real reason why people bet in a lottery. Maybe the instant money that they are hoping for is the reason they want to do it. Common people for sure don't think about how many percents the chance of winning is but instead thinking that they could win because of their beliefs. I know some people who have wasted a lot of money with continuously buying lottery tickets in the hope of winning the grand prize.
Awesome YouTube Channel you shared, would be looking at some of their stuff too. Interesting videos.

Also at 4:07 they lottery in comparison with gambling and stock market in a funny way... "we take away all the skill of blackjack or poker just to make sure we have the best chance of getting your money"!

Great video but I don't think those who are an addict in a lottery will give in, some of my friends I've known have won the lower prize and I tell you, you have to kill them for them to stop betting, they are not going to stop, and of course those poor people whose only salvation is hitting the jackpot even if they don't have a chance to win.
One main reason I can think of is probably low stakes, high rewards. We all know that greediness is, by default embedded within a human's psyche, ergo rendering us hungry for a high roll without risking a lot in the process. This has been pretty evident to the nature of gamblers, though there are still people who are willing to go nuts to chase losses etc. There also goes the factor of "feeling lucky" that some people carry on with them. It's a flawed belief, but given the low stakes of a lottery, why not go for it and hope to hit the jackpot, aye?
