If you really consider it, you will discover an amazing number of life's situations which are inherently risky. Nearly everything a person does is some type of gambling. Even with such mundane act of getting up and going to work, increases one's probability of being killed in a transportation accident. In face of today and everything you know about investing, whether it is in business, an asset class (stocks, bonds, real estate, cash and commodities), or index fund, even in its most basic element, it's nothing more than "betting" that someday tomorrow will probably be better with pleasant expected returns on investment; or perhaps not. There is only one big risk you should avoid and that's the risk of doing nothing and not taking your chance.
Come to look at it in face value, investing within any money market really is, legalized gambling, per se. You can look at investing when it comes to chart formation, or you put your money in the utilities anticipating once they are "due", you cash in or again maybe not; or you decide to have any among the hundreds of analysts culling spreadsheets or fund index investors work on the fundamentals of investing for you in manufacturing, real-estate, cash and commodities-no matter what your reasoning for that, if that's not gambling, then what is? Basically, you are betting that in 5, 10 or 15 years from now there will be more people, buying more stuff, utilizing more energy, dependent on more gadgets-with hope that you can cash in; or even not. You are basically "betting" on all of it.
So it's, with the lottery-a type of gambling with origins in Florence, Italy, where the very first lottery was held within the 16th Century, then called the Lotto de Firenze, and quickly adopted by other Italian towns. It became a national lottery, but still known today as the Lotto in Italy, as also adopted and called in lots of other countries, such as the USA. The lottery, as a type of government-licensed gambling, involves drawing of lots for a wide selection of winnings and then for the massive jackpot prize. Gambling, like poker, blackjack, roulette, sports betting and racing, can involve skill or simply chance alone; however the lottery isn't going go directly to Elit require any special skills-set to play.
As with any risk, often there is something at stake. Even when you choose to take the risk of starting a business, you stand to lose money, time and your reputation. The exact same things you stand to gain whenever you take the chance to start your own business. The lots you buy to play the lottery are today in the type of tickets and also the prize is often a large sum of money. The draws are random and every player has an equal chance of winning the major prize which often grows really big with massive roll over jackpots.
