Personally I'd advice against gambling overall (ye I know I wear a gambling signature at the moment!)
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
[2]: Join a campaign you agree with and not just for the payout.
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.
With the believe that you will win some days is to confirm that you will continue to lose your money in playing gambling just forget about feeling lucky mood and don't deceive yourself after knowing fully well that you are going to lose your gamble.
