Thanks Nick,

It makes me think of the saying:

“its better to have tried and lost, then to have never tried at all”

I think a small amount of gambliing and betting is healthy….its human nature and as long as a person doesn’t overdue it, they will be fine in the long term

Hi,
Interesting article. I don’t think playing the lottery has to be stupid. This view leaves out the value we get from the benefit of anticipation, which can be real pleasure as well. The question is: is the value of anticipation greater than the “cost of disappointment” (from not winning) and the “value of money to play in lottery” combined? I recently had a more detailed look at it: Are lottery players stupid?
and tell me what you think!
Thanks, Nick

I think the money you win is not for comsuming, eating or drinking.
it shall be used to invest more, company or stock or other long terms stuff.
then you can offer jobs, opportunities whatever you want to others, because all that are babies of the winning lettery

sure, maybe if you win lottery, quickly donate it to a charity – so you can tell your friends you dont have it anymore
