I have recently read an interesting essay on this topic, but it was already explained it to me a few years ago.

The thesis would consist that, although the probability of winning classical lotteries is near zero (typically between 0.0000007% in the case of Euromillions and 0.000003% in the case of national lotteries), people is willing to pay an excessive overprice because they are buying the right to dream about the possibility of winning.

Although there are extreme cases that get addicted to lotteries, this is quite uncommon if I'm not wrong, because, if you are not paying for the probability but for the possibility, a bet of 1 USD is enough to buy said possibility.

On the other hand, national lotteries are known to be "taxes on ignorance of mathematics", but if these revenues financed public expenses that revert to the common good: would you agree to pay systematically 1 USD more in your annual taxes as something that ensures the right to dream of a dear life of every taxpayer?

We participate in the lottery with everyone's dream. But lucky people are not necessarily rewarded, only lottery games are rewarded. You paid money to buy lottery make your dreams come true don't hurt anyone's dreams. Every person should keep separate money for winning lottery. I have seen many people who are not happy about winning the lottery because of the hassle of paying taxes. Yet people come forward to these ads and spend a dollar to change their fortunes to win the dream.

Although everyone has the right to hope for something better, could the lottery's continued popularity contribute to an unhealthy preoccupation with rapid gratification? A society that has devalued effort and perseverance in favor of luck. You recommend dedicating a certain sum of money specifically to the lottery. But why not save up for something concrete, like a future adventure or a contingency fund?

Taxes, what a pain! This seems like a textbook example of "champagne problems," don't you think? It's like griping about the brightness of the sun on a tropical paradise. You're doing better than most people if you can complain about lottery taxes.

When I buy a lottery I am not excited that I will win it, but if there is a very small chance that I will win it , I know that there are players who are very fanatical about lotteries and they know that if they play a number they give it extreme importance, I admire that illusion and dedication to this, when I was little , many played the triples, lottery terminals, but there were not so many, there were up to 3 days, and the players drew many strategies, imagine that they drew numbers from Drawings and cartoons , others made pyramids and with Numbers, I do not understand what their logic was to be able to decipher that a number that they could see in cartoons was what was going to fall , I still remember these things and they make me Laugh.

On the time that you do bet or buy some lottery ticket then its not ideal on making yourself that too optimistic or really that too confident that you would really be getting the jackpot because thats not how it should be

treated on the first place.If you are that extremely lucky then you might be able to hit it up but we know that odds or chances is really that close to impossible on which making yourself that too confident on hitting
it and on the time that reality would slap into your face then you would really be having that feeling of great disappointment and anger insider on what you havent won.?
Just like you on the time that i would be buying up some tickets on which im not really that making myself that too optimistic and just treat up that those tickets on auto lose but of course
i would really be checking out those results from time to time if ever it would be hit up.

Make yourself stick with that common approach and being that realistic because lottery and winning this stuff is never been that so simple or easy. You would be needing all the luck of this world
before you could be able to do so. Cheesy
