Are Lotto players stupid?

[tomtom]

The estimated % of a good win possibility is equal to number of tickets someone plays in relation to absolute odds . That is the mathematical or if you like calling it that way –logical fact.
Odds in lottery and ticket prices are on average so high that playing any really large number of tickets might show the way to quick financial destruction majority of players.

If someone has already won a JP, that might mean if deciding playing considerable amount of tickets such person’s money can’t disappear out rapidly and therefore regarding a new JP has more chances than an ordinary player who sometimes can afford just a couple of tickets or so.

Personally, if ever won a significant JP I would just forget about playing lottery.
Since it is nearly impossible to experience a JP win in high odds lotteries, from that reason I was insisting on lower odds lottery games existence together with high odds games. In my opinion it is better playing a few tickets in various odds
games and eventually be once in a lifetime JP winner in a pick 4 or with some in actual fact more luck in pick 5 for example , than be an almost sure looser regarding a JP in a high odds lottery game if playing it only…

this place looked promising at first glance and then it does not look like it is that helpful. your comment of being happy with what i have now is reasonable. doing something risky is really not my style. a sure fire way to win again is what i am looking for. if i can't find it here i hope to find it somewhere else.

Obviously you did win something however it wasn't the jackpot for sure. Because if you did win the big one (as in millions) as you were saying elsewhere, you would not need to think of winning again via lottery. That would be the stupidest thing that you can do! Ever heard of investments?

Anyway, I also won the big one (in your lingo) meaning 5 numbers which payout was around a thousand or two. however that is not enough to retire. If I was a BIG winner, I would retire and enjoy life and not think about winning again.

So the bigger question is "Are we getting too greedy"?

Yeahhh, I'm inclined to agree with ChisJ here that you did win a 5 out of 6, and I can understand how that might feel a little frustrating... (a little patience might help.)
