Like they say, if you don't play the lottery you can't win..and using this mentality it's worth giving these games a shot as you can never know what happens.
Exactly. This is the reason why it's called gambling, because a win is not a guarantee. Though the chances of losing are greater than winning. As long as everything is in moderation and in control, there is nothing to worry about losing.
The lottery is the perfect example of this. People knew that their chances of hitting the jackpot were less than 1%, but still, they were willing to give it a shot.
