Quote from: pauliewalnuts on February 14, 2025, 11:55:48 PMThe thing about the lottery is it is the worst odds versus payout offering there is. Odds of getting 3 numbers: 97/1. At £2 a ticket that should be paying you £194. What does it pay? £25 or something. So even knowing all that and even having worked in the industry for years, why do I continue to play my numbers every week? Because I feel if I do not, then they will come in, so I have to play. That’s what is known in the industry as “gambler’s fallacy” and is a massive contributor to the money involved in the industry. A tax on the poor, the feckless and the hopelessly optimistic.
