Has anyone here ever won the lottery? I don't know anyone in real life who has ever won more than a few quid on it. Is it a scam? This thread applies to to specifically the main national lottery in your country btw not just some local one.

>>62358548Is it a scam? This thread applies to to specifically the main national lottery in your country btw not just some local one.They are extremely susceptible to manipulation and lottery fraud has happened just about everywhere. The intelligence community also uses the lottery to move money around. Even if the game were played fairly, the odds are orders of magnitude worse than going to a casino. They don't call it the idiot tax for no reason
>>62358548Buying lottery tickets is a negative EV activity and the most boring form of gambling there is, so the people that buy them are mainly poorer people without much financial education who burn through the money in a couple years tops and then keep secret about having won it out of shame, so unless you meet them during the brief period where they are public about it, you are not going to know.In the event that someone with some financial knowhow or someone smart enough to immediately hire a financial advisor win the lottery, the first thing they will do is keep it secret from the start, so you won't know either.
