no matter how long you play lottery,lotto or games like this,you still cant know when you will win big amount,because its not like you bet of football games and that you know who play and what can you expect!with numbers you must have luck and ofcourse this change your life in one minute!

What I mean is that behind that there is a huge investment and effort on the part of the bettors, of course we do not know when we are going to get lucky, but you need to be perseverant in betting, even when you know you are losing money by betting and not winning.

That's right, there are many stories of that, people who are lucky, invest a few dollars and win millions, and there are others who spend their whole life playing the lottery and do not even have a prize, sometimes luck is not with you.

the lottery is very different than poker and casino, but that is luck, many have won millions of dollars playing the lottery and others have lost millions as well, so it is a matter of luck, that is why some are aware of that and do not play.

That;s the good part with lottery dule-vu , you buy the ticket and wait for the win . No exceptional skill is needed , no hard decisions like in a poker game , no right decisions in every spin or bonus rounds like in (most) slot games . You just buy the ticket , that's all , good luck only you need , everyone can play lottery , no matter his age , very low the cost and the win can be huge

It's all about lucky yes. But wow when i see those big prizes i think i will start play lottery haha. Instead of drink coffer or 2 less in local pub i will just get the tickets for weekend and if i bink something ok if not whatever it's just a coffe or two. If you are a gambler it's worth trying why not.

G'day mates
Well I can say with total complete honesty I wish that I could hit a million dollar lotto win. Let's just say it would make life much much easier to say the least. I understand however you need to first buy a ticket before you can win them things and since I only buy a lottery ticket about 3 times a year my chances are really slim. Lol
I look at it this was though, I win $10 every week I do not waste any money buy a losing lottery ticket, but I know you can not win if you do not play. Lol

I think it is an unlikely game to win, the more you spend and you don't see results, it is luck that plays an important role, and sometimes it happens, but it is almost impossible.

My aunt used to buy every week many tickets , but she hasn't told me about any major win , or maybe she hid it ,lol , somany years and not wins and keep on trying every week makes no sense , only if one year she won sth in the past . Ofcourse she was a doctor , she could throw some money here and there not caring for this expense of some lottery tickets per week . And Greek state lottery is the worst of the kind imo , thanks god today there are many other options than it used to be in the past (in Greece and generally )

there in Romania are many variants and we can play lotteries from the USA, Canada and many countries for Europe ( maybe there are more options but i didn't check). This is very good for passionate players, but i don't play anymore. A few years ago i risked a 6/49 ticket once a week for many months, but i only won a ticket with 4 numbers and i recovered my investment without profit.

This lottery has 7 numbers to guess and the prize at this time is $ 31 million. Whoever has money to risk and is eligible to play here can try because luck can come when you don't expect it. This couple managed to win a nice prize, but today's jackpot is much higher. Play if you want and hope for a lot of money.

Personally I play poker , casino , sports betting , but lottery ?? I have never bought a ticket for a lottery , i always thought the chance to win on one of these is very small , also I didn't see any win from my aunt (maybe she was hiding her big wins , I mean play evry week for years and not having not even one win , it's hard to believe ) . But I have bought many times scratch tickets , but i guess this doesn't qualify for this
