    Why Do People Play The Fukkin Lottery?

    They can't fukkin win it.

    Don't they understand that?

    Why fukkin play shit like Powerball and Megamillions when you can't win?

    Wouldn't it be much much better just to bet on games?

    Playing the fukkin lottery is like throwing your money down a black hole.

    Maybe they want to benefit the senior citizens that the lotteries claim that some of money goes to.

    So they can forget about their shitty lives while they daydream about what they would do with all that money.

    If this is true then it should be illegal, right?

    I mean if you or I tried to sell people tickets based on preying on their dreams with no chance of them being able to win it we would get arrested for fraud, right?

    I don't get it either..Why people play fukkin lottery?

    First of all, it's not a value bet. Payoff may sound huge at first glance but when you calculate the probablity, it's a very bad bet.

    Second,

    You know what they say. Easy come, easy go. Winning 100 Million Dollars in one night and earning 1 Million Dollars in 3 years are completely different things. Lottery Winners' end is usually suicide or getting broke.

    Winning 40-50 Million Dollars in one night may sound great/amazing but I can guarantee that it won't make you happy, "over the long haul". It won't make you peaceful. You will be surrounded by fake friends. Worst, you will lose the joy and thrill of life.

    What's Thrill of life?

    You know computer games. You start with a rusty sword or a dagger. You kill monsters, find hidden treasures and when you accumulated enough gold, you buy a better sword, or a better equipment. You buy and equip your brand new shiny longsword but your mind is on next level sword; Silver Sword. But you have to work more to buy it. It's the thrill of the game. This makes computer games thrilling and addicting. Life is not different. Buying a Alfa ROmeo Giulietta is a dream for you at first. When you buy it, it comes true and you start to dream about next step..Mercedes E! It won't end when you buy Mercedes E. You will dream of Bmw 7 or a Hummer maybe..

    Winning lottery is like using cheat in a computer game. Unlimited Gold, God Mode on, Unlimited health. You buy all best quipment in level 1 and game is not exciting anymore. Because you lost the thrill, the challenge of the game.

    Don't lose the thrill of life. Work hard for your goals. I never buy lottery tickets because I don't want this happen to me. I don't want to get rich in one day. I want to accumulate wealth by time. Slowly but steady. That's much better..

    Playing the lottery and drinking is all that some people do for fun. Neither require a brain.
