It is mind-blowing how many people are making a mess of playing the lottery. The errors are many and various.
The biggest rip-offs are those games that pay small prizes such as Pick 3 and scratch cards. It is public knowledge that only about 50% of the money wagered is returned to the players. If you play regularly, for every $1000 you spend you will get back only $500. These odds are much worse than the pari-mutuel at the racetrack or games at your casino. The only possible good reason for playing is that you like to give 50% of your money to good causes. Unfortunately 20% of your money goes in administration costs.
Can anyone give me a good reason for playing these games?
Lotteries with bigger prizes are different. Well, some lotteries with bigger prizes are different, not all. Fixed prizes are bad news but pari-mutuel prizes with rollovers give lottery players a glimmer of hope.
When you play, what you play and how you play are vitally important yet millions of players are getting it wrong. Our research at www.HowToPickLotteryNumbers.com that 97.5% of lottery players are making bad mistakes.
Therefore the answer to “How many million people can be wrong about the lottery?” is about 140 million in the USA alone. Make sure you are not one of them.
