When new players learn slot-machine tricks, they avoid gambling addiction Slot machines present losses disguised as wins (LDWs) with celebratory music and flashing lights, even though players actually won less money than they bet. Researchers at the University of Waterloo found that showing inexperienced gamblers a brief educational video before they play helps make them more aware and curb false perceptions about the number of times they won. One of the keys to gambling harm prevention i

A question of the lottery being worth itReply
Hey Kimberlee!To test yourself on whether you have an addiction or not, why don't you STOP playing all forms of Lottery and/or gambling for 1 month and see how you feel. Then you will know if you have a gambling problem or addiction and can get help. My sense is that you do have a growing obsession with lottery numbers and that is NOT healthy at all. At least you are smart and set a budget. Ask God for help... he is ever present!
