The odds can be deceiving
Most people who buy their lottery tickets dream of winning but are also aware that the chances for that to happen are really low. According to experts, one of the biggest secrets to playing the lottery is keeping your hopes up but being rational at the same time. It might sound like a contradiction, but it will help you either way, that is if you win or if you lose.
As explained by Ed Wighton, editor-in-chief for Lottery America, the odds presented by the lottery can be tricky. “For example, many lotteries will advertise that players have a one in 38 chance of winning”, he says. But many people are not aware that if they win, the prize will not be more than what they’ve paid for the ticket, “with the Powerball minimum prize of $4 being offered at the same odds”.
