Many of us dreamed to live in wealth, wherein what they need to do is have fun with family and friends, enjoy life, travel places and will not do any work. Lottery means big money so some wanted to take part in this game in order to get past being poor. Especially to those people who thinks they don't have hope left to become rich that's why they depended in lottery and gambling. Probably, their are others too who is rich but still enjoyed the game because of its difficulty in winning. Per statistics, a possibility in winning a lotto is lesser to a possibility of us getting hit by a lightning.

I think people just continue to hope to win the jackpot price; and as they continue to hope they get addicted to gambling (lottery). I think that they believe that the jackpot price is worth the wait and worth all their money.

why do they play the lottery, in my view. simple, its because you wont win it unless you take part. granted out of the millions that play it whats to say you will win it, but also whats to say you wont? the chance is always there. but you have to take the risk to get the reward. how does it help, have you ever heard someone say "oh i'l ust win the lottery and move abroad" its a sign of hope that maybe they will get lucky, hope helps people geth through the day or situation, granted they may not win, but the thought of winning might be enough to lift there mood
