Why do people play the lottery...If?
-
If the odds are against you, and only one person wins out of millions, many people have said "you will never ever win the lottery" if thats the case then why have alot of people won the lottery? Could it be that the lottery numbers are drawn days before and the government picks a state they want to send the winning numbers to then air the drawing or something like that? People always say never trust the government because they does things secretly and why do people spend thousands of dollars on lottery tickets when the odds are that terrible (does better the odds?) and why do people say that the lottery is for the tax and stupid when people with degrees also play the lottery?

Answer:
Some play weekly to dream about winning that big Jackpot and leaving their jobs forever. Some very smart people only buy a few tickets for fun when the Jackpots get really big, like over $200 million. Most think they are going to win at some point so they play and play and never win anything more than a couple bucks when in reality they don't win at all because they have spent so much on losing tickets. As for the lottery being rigged well they don't need to rig it because the odds are so in their favor, take the Powerball for instance..........the odds to win just $100 is 1 in about 13,000 and 1 in about 19,000 (there are 2 ways to win $100). Those aren't good odds. You are correct about nobody in Texas winning the Powerball but the game has only been in your state since January 2010 and there has been 29 winning tickets in that time. The game is played in 44 states and it's only a matter of time before someone in Texas wins it. The Mega Millions on the other hand has been in Texas since 2003 and there have been 9 Jackpot winners from Texas in that time most recently on May 13, 2011 for $35 million. The biggest Mega Millions Jackpot hit in Texas was on January 29, 2010 for $144 million.
