Much better to gamble our money into games that could make use of our knowledge and skill, not this luck-base game lottery.
This type of game is popular to poor households. It doesn't need any knowledge to learn and you just bet your money then you can have a chance to win big. I know this game and many of my neighbors always bet on this 2 or 3x a day daily hoping they would win. They don't realize that if they would save or spend that money it buy already what they plan to if they win on that lottery.
They all keeping the faith that luck will come on their way and change their life forever,
we can't remove the fact that most third world societies continue to believe that with
luck it will be a shortcut to richness, if there are already a living proof that winners exist
chasing to have the same fate are very common. You are right that if those people only
realized that saving those money will bring them decent, they are just too lazy hoping for
a very quick turnaround.
