Common Lottery Myths

More likely to die from a lightning strike than win the lottery

This myth was destroyed back in 1997. Statistics in one world famous magazine for 1996 said that during this period of time 1136 people became winners and the amount exceeded $ 1 million. And more than 100 thousand people won another 4520 people, while only 91 people died from lightning.

The lottery is always an opportunity to win, and a lightning strike does not bring anything good in itself.

Lottery is another method of the state to make a profit

It is important to understand that tax is a mandatory payment, and if you avoid it, you can get a fine or even jail time.The lottery is a one-time game that is voluntary.So if there is no desire to play, then this is not necessary.

The lottery is entertainment for the poor

There is simply no basis for this assertion. According to studies conducted by a number of companies, people with an average level of income and above often buy tickets.

There was also a survey of the population in America, during which it was determined that people who received more than $ 75,000 a month spent the most on lottery tickets.

The lottery is a dishonest game

It must be said that it is this industry, among the numerous ones, that is currently controlled as carefully as possible. That is, it guarantees safety for the player himself, and everyone has a chance to win.

Only a few winners benefit

In fact, in any lottery draw, the number of winners is in the millions. But there are those who also benefit from it. Of course, now we are talking about sellers who receive a commission from the sale of lottery tickets, and this also has a positive effect on the state’s economy.

There are companies that provide the appropriate equipment or software, offer advertising services. So the lottery is a profitable industry for many people, not just the winners.
