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? I think that the process is that is attractive in gambling, and while the outcome surely matters, I would not like to wait for a long while to learn it.
I'm a lazy person so if I will gamble, I will go for lottery too compare to other gambling games.
It is easy to gamble in lottery, just pick numbers and wait

. In gambling, research or the process of winning is useless if you are not lucky enough to win and not disciplined enough to stop if you won already. Since I'm a lazy person, I would like to wait for the outcome only although there are some who really cares about the process and they will do some research so that they will win.
