Playing the Lottery Is Win-Win, Even If You Lose
*Collaborative Guest Post*
Admit it – we all fantasize about getting rich. Just think how much our lives would change if we didn’t have to work, if we could travel to our hearts’ content. With no limitations on spending money, we’d be living a life of leisure.
But how does one get rich quickly? For most of us the possibility of inheriting a fortune or winning big at a blackjack table in a casino is nonexistent. Playing the lottery, on the other hand, is available to all and can be the next step towards making our dreams come true.
Not being able to get to a retail outlet is no excuse for not playing the lottery. Play the US Powerball, Mega Millions, and EuroMillions and all the biggest lotteries in the world at theLotter, the leading online ticket purchasing service. Budgeting a small weekly allowance for lottery tickets is not a huge extravagance, especially when you relate to this expense as taking a chance on something, and not as an investment.
It may seem that the odds of winning a huge jackpot prize are stacked against you, but someone eventually wins the prize, so why shouldn’t it be you?
Even if your numbers don’t come up in the draw, you can still feel good about playing the lottery. That’s because no matter what lottery you play, a certain percentage of your ticket purchase is donated to charitable causes.
TheĀ National Lottery, for example, has supported more than 500,000 charitable projects over the years, including education, environment, healthcare, social issues, sports, and veterans affairs. In the year ending 31 March 2016, 40% percent of the funds raised through ticket sales were allocated to health, education, environment and charitable causes; 20% was used to fund sports projects; 20% was allocated to the arts; and 20% was used to fund heritage projects.
Similarly, lotteries in the United States allocate a significant proportion of their ticket sales for good causes. The California State Lottery provides supplemental funding for public schools and colleges in that state and the New York Lottery also earns revenue for education. In Europe, the Swiss Lotto supports projects in the fields of sports, environment, culture, social issues, and other good causes; and proceeds from the France Loto benefit many sectors of French society, namely healthcare and sports development.
All of us benefit from the lottery, no matter if we lose or never play at all. But why not have some fun as well and buy a ticket. If you don’t buy a ticket, you’ll never have a chance of winning the lottery and making your wildest dreams come true!
