I don't understand why people even like lotteries.
The reason is obvious mate, winnings without the needs of doing countless strategies.
You don't do much, most likely lose and have to wait for the outcome for a long time.
Actually no need to wait for a long time.
In most countries, there are 4-5 lottery draws per day.
Perhaps, people are interested in the possibility of winning, but that would mean they are not really into gambling as the process.
Yes, there is a chance that most lottery bettors don't really into gambling but since it's not that difficult to purchase tickets for this, they choose this form of gambling instead of others that need strategy and techniques.
So what is it for you, do you play only for the sake of winning or do you care about the process of playing/researching/anticipating the outcome?
It depends.
In the lottery, no need to take care of the process. Place a bet and just wait for the result.
In sports betting, for example, on the other hand, I do care for the process since it's a suicide if you will just place a bet here without knowledge at that sports. The same also goes into casino games wherein you need to manage properly your bankroll.
