Lottery participation is gambling. It should be entertainment, not a savings plan, investment strategy or way to recover money already lost.
Practical limits
- Set a fixed discretionary budget before participating.
- Never borrow money to buy entries.
- Do not increase spending because a jackpot is unusually large.
- Do not chase losses or believe a future win is “due.”
- If gambling affects finances, work, sleep or relationships, stop and seek local support.
