And this should be a lesson for gamblers out there, in the pursuit of instant profits people end up spending so much money that if they saved and invested that money instead they could have reached their dreams in a surefire way, so whenever we think that a hobby of ours is harmless we need to make projections for the long term about how much money we will spend on it, and if at the end we notice that we can buy a house o even a car with that money then it is better to reduce the money we use on that hobby.

I can relate to that as I have a relative who also do the same, keep saving his lottery tickets and when he sum it up in total, it can give him decent amount of money where he can use to put up a business, though we really can't control things out as they are saying that they are doing it to seek some luck and until now there's none aside from a small winning but the luck for taking the main pot still yet to come.

Moving back to OP, a first time bettor who wins the main jackpot, an experienced that will change a lifetime.

Not all have that opportunity and if you are close or if you know someone who manages to be that lucky person, for sure the motivation will come to you and will also hope for that same luck.
And this is something we must do with everything not only with gambling, an example of this is a friend I had long ago, she always complained about being short on cash all the time however I always noticed she bought a coffee and something else from Starbucks every single day, so when I calculated the amount she spent on this in a single year her eyes almost popped out of their sockets as she was impressed the huge amount of money she spent there.

Relatively right, if you don't know how to manage your finances you will have experienced that, though it's far from the topic but the essence of that wordings will help, people tend that they are just doing something in spent for their entertainment or enjoyment, relating that to gambling or to the topic, same with the amount you will spend buying lottery ticket, but if luck permits and allow you to win the jackpot , Oh wow! That's for sure the only words that will come out of your mouth! Roll Eyes Grin

How nice of someone to be this much lucky and hit one time wonder. I don't know what's more cool? Becoming rich for no reason whatsoever (I see lottery as weird way of gambling) or guy/girl being one time only gambler. I am jealous for sure because especially in past I played a lot of lottery thinking I will be lucky that will come back with million liras (local currency) one day. But as everyone knows lottery winning chance is so close to zero.
Playing the lottery is not a strange form of gambling, as men and women buy lottery tickets to win. Indeed, winning the lottery is not easy because they must keep trying by buying it until they can win. Some bought lottery tickets a long time ago and haven't even been able to win, but that doesn't make them give up and stop buying them because they still hope they can one day win the lottery. And even though the chances are close to zero, they don't seem to care because their belief and desire are still strong to buy that lottery ticket.

When I was a kid, I often asked my mom to buy me lottery tickets. To be honest, after a few years of constantly playing the lottery, we became completely disillusioned with this game of chance and stopped participating in it. I can't say that we didn't win the lottery, because we had some wins, but these wins were so insignificant that the motivation to keep buying tickets gradually faded away. 

There is like one in ten million chance that you will win the jackpot (a wild guess, it will vary from game to game). So don't purchase lottery tickets with the expectation that you are going to win the jackpot. If you are participating in the lottery game just for fun, then it is OK. I also purchase tickets once in a while to test my luck and I never get disappointed if I don't win anything. That is how it works. You can play lottery a few times a year. Anything more than that is a massive waste of your money. Just take everything in a positive way, so that it is not hard for yourself.

Lottery here in our country is being run by our government and the majority of the citizen in our country are lottery bettors for many years, I personally know people who are betting for ten or more years but they still have not hit the jackpot I wonder what these people think or if you're a lottery bettor for many years and you read that one first time bettor hit a huge jackpot in a lottery.

Will you feel envious? Ok with it? or motivated?

Why do I need to be jealous? I know that everyone's luck is different, so it's not a problem for me if someone gets the jackpot even when he's just playing for the first time. In my opinion, the lottery is like entertainment, not a race to see who can get the jackpot fast, so I just enjoy it and don't think too much about it.

One thing came to my mind is, there are people meant to be an extremely lucky, that even you're not a regular bettor if it's meant for you no one can take it away. Honestly I envy the person for winning such amount but that's how lottery works, it's more on luck. I'm an occasional lottery bettor. I only buy ticket if I have numbers in mind or my kid's birthday is near.

Obviously, i'm not really a fan of lottery due to the slim chance of winning (though, the jackpot prize is really attractive that can change your life instantly). I still prefer a game that somehow I have a chance to win and not entirely relying on luck.

It would be nice to win the lottery, but it's so unrelastic that I can't really be envious towards him. He picked the right number and deserves to win, it doesn't really matter if it was his first time playing or if he played for 20 years. He took the risk, spend his money and got rewarded for it. I gave up feeling bad about my missing luck in the lottery a long time ago. For more than 10 years I play the lottery more or less regularly, especially during high jackpot times I play more. So far I have never won anything big, 20-30 USD here and there, but never anything above 100. Maybe I am just a very unlucky person when it comes to lotteries. There are lottery winners every week, I am not changing my gambling habits based on that.

That is what happens with 99.8% of people buying lottery tickets because only a small percentage of the luckiest nature manage to win significant amounts through the lottery that too in the very early stage of their participation, whereas, on the other hand, people who are buying tickets for decades manage to get nothing but peanuts in the name of wins in these lotteries. Out of all these people, only some people realize that they are wasting their money and they should stop buying tickets.

Buying tickets and not winning any amount means giving your money to the lottery management which earns way too much money and gives away way too less to just a few people after selling millions of tickets each week. That is why everyone wants to run their own lotteries so that they can earn money.

Being lucky can't be connected with the persons who are hopeful. We don't know in what way a person gets lucky. In my country there is a person who have been working as a lottery ticket seller for years and he used to spend have few tickets regularly and he have been saving those tickets in a bag. During his 70+ years he won the jackpot and it happened as he kept the unsold tickets for himself. So, whether they get disappointed on spending for long time or not is not at all a matter for the regular buyers who keep moving with the hope of winning. Further while calculating the amount he had spend on buying tickets based on his tickets saved on big bags it was higher than what he had won.

And this should be a lesson for gamblers out there, in the pursuit of instant profits people end up spending so much money that if they saved and invested that money instead they could have reached their dreams in a surefire way, so whenever we think that a hobby of ours is harmless we need to make projections for the long term about how much money we will spend on it, and if at the end we notice that we can buy a house o even a car with that money then it is better to reduce the money we use on that hobby.

I can relate to that as I have a relative who also do the same, keep saving his lottery tickets and when he sum it up in total, it can give him decent amount of money where he can use to put up a business, though we really can't control things out as they are saying that they are doing it to seek some luck and until now there's none aside from a small winning but the luck for taking the main pot still yet to come.

Ive just also remembered hearing news from our country that someone has also been betting on the lottery, and he is keeping the receipts, and he has a huge box full of them, but he has not even won a single jackpot from them. He only won a small one, but if he totaled all of his spending on them for the past decade, he said he could build a beautiful house. Again, the lottery is really for the lucky person, if you will, to win, no matter if you are a first-time bettor or not. He must be the luckiest person on earth, for sure.

Responsible gamblers can always manage their finances so that money that is also used to meet daily needs is not spent on gambling.
Even though there are several lotteries drawn every day if one can limit it and only use a small portion of the money then the possibility of losing large amounts of money will not occur.
In my opinion, any risks experienced by a gambler depend on how they can control themselves and finances.
After all, lottery tickets aren't that expensive either.
By understanding the risks that can occur, gamblers can manage how much risk they can accept so they won't use too much money. The money used for betting will be adjusted according to their gambling budget to not cross their limits. And even though they can't win right now, they can still buy their lottery ticket another day and wait for the results to come out while doing various activities. By doing things like that, they have become wise gamblers who know how to manage their money well and don't budget a lot for gambling.

Gambling is for fun and something that would really be heavily relying with luck on which it would really be just that understandable that it would really be needing up that kind of approach on which you arent really that

making yourself that too optimistic on the time that you do make out some bets specially on lottery.You would really be finding the situation on OP had been stated on having that first time bettor at the same time it did really able to hit up a jackpot on lottery which is something that it is really that very rare considering that most of these winners are really the ones who had been long time betting before they do able to hit up
plus its not something that you could really just simply be able to do so. Lotteries does really need that extreme luck for you to win up and it is really just cant really be that avoided that you would really got jealous into those people who had been able to hit up with their first time.

Well, there's nothing we can do about it on which there are really people who are really that extremely lucky on this world and the thing we could only do is to be happy on what they have achieved.
Getting envious is normal but well its a common reaction.

Many people are inspired by the successes of others and are looking to replicate that for themselves. I get that, but if you'll be inspired on the success of a gambler then it's something that you should drop immediately. No one really succeeds in gambling that much, except for those who are using their luck too much, or have found a loophole that isn't getting patched any time soon. Good for the lottery winners in getting a big pot, though hopefully they learn that the money they received isn't limitless and it's going to run out soon due to mishandling and overindulging.
There's no such thing about loophole or holy grail for winning up a lottery game considering that results would really be entirely random and this one do definitely needs up that extreme luck for you to be able

to win up something like this with lottery. It is really that neither these huge wins on first time bettors could give out that kind of impression whether this one would really be that become someone to be that
decisive on making the same bets and trying out to mimic these bettors and hoping that they could get that similar results which we know that it is really that impossible.We arent that dumb
about not to know on what are the odds and chances for us to win on lotteries.It is really just that there are people who are really that lucky when it comes to gambling.

Despite on being first timer, he/she was able to hit up the jackpot on which everyone had been longing up for so long and even up to now, they arent able to get even up to now.
Getting envious or having the feeling of jealous on such situation is really that a normal reaction i should say.

of course highly motivated!  I am very fond of lotteries, in a week I place 2 or 3 times. Several times I won a small nominal, when I heard that a lottery player won the jackpot, it really spurred my adrenaline to keep believing and believing that one day I would win the jackpot too. btw I identified some people around my neighborhood to be lottery addicts and even they are willing to use their savings just to put up more lotteries, lotteries can really be addictive.

Risks is everything that circulates the space. Lotteries are frequently associated with good luck, and there are numerous possibilities to uncover in the system. It's simpler to place a wager on lottery games in the hopes of hitting the winning numbers. Gambling is perhaps one of the few enjoyable activities left in our otherwise dull lives. Gambling is not a regular activity that has been isolated by investors; rather, it is continuous and ongoing in the system. It has remained the principal location where most gamblers make good money year after year.
But there is almost no pleasure to be had in this type of lottery gambling unless one day we can win it because in the lottery we only buy the ticket by determining the number we want, indeed there are certain people who make number selection an activity where they do calculations with a certain method but even this I do not see as a fun activity.
Routinely buying a lottery that maybe in some countries is held by the government is just a way to keep the chance open that we can get a prize someday, as someone has felt when he keeps choosing the same combination of numbers over and over again and finally succeeds, even though we might also to never win it because the competition in the lottery is very fierce, and there is never a strategy to win it other than luck

I have read somewhere that if you buy lottery tickets and the government controls them, it is somehow a subtle way of "giving" hope to the poor and collecting money from them without noticing it. It's something that I read the other day.

Well, it depends. It is not necessarily only the poor who play lottery. I have had people in my family who I would consider to be middle class and they played lottery now and then through the years. I would say that if a government is behind a lottery and one can be sure the profit of the lottery is behind used to improve the life of people (instead the government stealing the funds) then I would be okey with it. I would even participate and consider it a small donation for a good cause.
In the end, one is supposed to be a responsible adult and learn how to properly manage one's finances, specially if one is going through harsh times. Of course, it is easier saying than doing it, I am aware of it.



Despite the hearsays that the government is manipulating the lottery in our country, I still have my trust on it since it's also sustaining a charity sweepstake in our country which has been helping a lot of people in need. Despite the issues, I still believe that a portion of our bet could have a good purpose.
Yes, lottery is for everyone since each ticket is affordable. Many people in our aread has been betting for a long time because of the hope that in one right number combination, their lives could changed instantly. It might be false hope to others but it's a considered chance for most betters.
I am personally more in favor of state owned lotteries rather than private ones, because I am interested in the positive social impact those can have on economically deprived communities. If gambling income can be used for a greater good beyond the sole accumulation of wealth, even better.

State owned lottery will be much better choice to us since we can assure that winnings can be surely gotten by the winner and we can say that there's less evil since they might afraid to do some manipulative techniques. Compare to private owned lotteries where manipulation is possible to happen. I can't say anything about its proceeds since its out of our line but maybe we should look at the fairness since in government owned we can see that all is fair with them.

It actually depends on the government, the society and the country where a state-owned lottery would be held. For example, here in Latin America there are political administrations which I would not feel any confidence with. If the government of Venezuela decided to launch their own lottery, about half of the population would immediately say it is just an scheme for those in power to pocket even more illicit money or a scheme to launder money from the market of drugs and stolen oil. Regardless of the case, and whether one trust on ones' goverment or not, the provably fair aspect should be an implementation which requires priority. Imo

There is no real motivation behind gambling and please don't come up with one, this person is just so lucky, remember that there are millions of people buying lottery tickets every time and they are still yet not as lucky as this man is.

I don't care or have a desire for such dreams, I believe in hard work more than anything, because grinding so hard will get you there more than buying fantasy, I don't want my journey to be like a dice game.

I hope this lucky man use his money very well, only one in a million have this type of opportunity he has, I have read about lottery winners going back on the street because of mismanagement of their money, and I hope the same won't happen to this fella.
