Anyone kicking themselves for not buying bitcoin sooner now has a novel way to make amends. One of Ireland’s best known lottery operators is offering a bitcoin bounty worth millions of dollars. In exchange for picking six numbers, entrants – who aren’t limited to the Republic of Ireland – will be entered into a draw whose current jackpot stands at 1,025 BTC.

Who's the lucky one?

Honestly, I feel like any form of gambling is not really worth it. What if you end up tossing in something like 5$ in bitcoin into some form of gambling. What if bitcoin multiplies ten-fold in the next few years? That's a loss of 50$, assuming you don't win (which is the most probable outcome). I guess people get the rush of gambling when they buy into whatever form they prefer, but in the end, you're more likely to come out negative.
