Lotteries are not the best way to gamble, far from it. The odds are very low, and while you can win a lifechanging sum of money, you’re often more likely to be hit by lightning. They are okay to play every now and then, but it’s easy to get trapped.
Players often make the mistake of choosing a specific set of numbers and playing them every week. Once they start, they can’t stop, as they worry that their numbers will land on the week they don’t play.
To avoid this, use lucky dips every week. Not only are the odds exactly the same, but it means you can stop whenever you feel like it.
