How To Win The Lottery

What is it that drives people to consistently waste money on something so blatently chancely as the lottery? Is it the human drive for a quick fix that has driven our society to become the way it now is? I think the question lies in the deep ethic roots of a society that has forgotten the virtue of patience.

Although you can make some winnings on the lottery, its a very, very slim chance of ever making any sort of substantial money. And the fact is that most lottery winners never win more that a few dollars. I guess if its for the simple thrill of having a chance, and their is no serious desperation behind playing, then that is fine, and does no harm to anyone. On the other hand, when people become seriously obsessed and miserable when they don’t win, then that is another kettle of fish.
