Lotto and lottery games offer long odds for the player, that is, it is very difficult to
come out ahead, but when you do it could be for large sums of money. Be aware that
lotto and lottery games are negative expectation pursuits, meaning that, in the long
run, you will likely be an overall loser. Thus, lottery games should be played for
entertainment value. This doesn’t mean you won’t hit it big—after all that is why
lottery games are hugely popular—it just means you should be realistic in your
expectations.
