I've seen a guy asking for advice about lotteries and it got me thinking. I don't understand why people even like lotteries. You don't do much, most likely lose and have to wait for the outcome for a long time. Perhaps, people are interested in the possibility of winning, but that would mean they are not really into gambling as the process. 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.
There are different types of gamblers aome prefer to sit down and enjoy the process but others are more on hitting the jackpot to become instant millionaire. Gamblers that prefer to love the process are more likely the ones who are away fron being addicted because they are probably doing it just for fun. On the other hand the one who are more focus on the outcome are the one who will probably become depress after loosing or worst become addicted because of wanting the jackpot.
