If they know the lottery is a random process and play for fun, accepting that they're contributing 50% of their purchases to whatever cause their state uses it for, they will have a reasonable chance of quitting, if they choose to.

and now you're changing it from some players to all the players.

All the players, in aggregate. Review most Lottery Commission Balance Sheets.

If like you say in aggregate , meaning all the players, if they decide to quit for the reasons you gave, there is... [ More ]

Stack47 asks,

...Who is 'contributing 50% of their purchases to whateve cause'?

You and the Digit Man can always be counted on to present yet another example of your Innumeracy, when given the chance. Now you're limiting your focus to one draw. You can't see beyond your noses.

You dang right I'm going to repeat it over and over and over, just like the same posters who incessantly write about how they KNOW, they're going to win. One thread after another over how to spend it, whether you'll divorce, what family members and friends you'll share with, charities, and on and on, as If it's eminent for them to win.

Get a clue bonehead. I know it's not easy for you, but try very very hard.

Of the 258,890,850 possible MM combos, 169,442,196 won't match any number or the bonus number and will collect nothing. About 65.44% of all tickets are contributing 100% of their purchases to whatever cause . Those holding winning tickets will collect at least 100% of their wager and are contributing nothing to whatever ca... [ More ]

In response to my post above, Stack47 said,

The overall odds of winning something playing MM is 6.8% and PB is 3.14% and you're saying all players will lose only 50% of their wagers?

No, I did not say that.

I think what determines how difficult it would be for a person to quit playing the lottery is whether or not they believe they can engineer ways to win more than probability tells them they can.

There is a huge difference between quitting all together and playing less often which Thrifty is probably talking about. Lottery Post is a good barometer of the average jackpot game player and it seems to be under $5 a drawing and several of them expect to win. The last time I looked it only takes on... [ More ]

So you will continue to buy lottery tickets till they place you on a Gurney? Will you be hiding your purchased lottery tickets in your pants and checking to see if you won from the tv in your hospital room? Of course you would demand that you have first dibs on the channel changer. .

Yes or No

I will play the lottery, but not Russian Roulette. Lottery is better risk vs reward.

Lottery:

- Risk: $1 + dream

- Reward: Millions!

Russian Roulette:

- Risk: blow your brains out

- Reward: foolish pride

With 1 in 6 chance of death and Risk of Ruin of 100% after 5 plays, I would not play it. Strange game Russian Roulette, the only winning move is not to play.

You can just quit, but I wouldn't bet on it.

You're right, they are way ahead of you on the lines, the lines are strategically based to guarantee the bookies a profit on the vig. Even before there were computers, they had it worked out as to how to balance the books to guarantee a profit, there's just too much of a margin. Also you aren't disciplined enough, even if you knew the exact probabilities you can over bet and run expectations in your favor and that's... [ More ]
