Unlucky ?
If you buy lotto tickets everyday and you have never won up to now. Does it mean that you are unlucky?
No, of course not.
Take Lotto 6/55, for example. The odds of winning Lotto 6/55 with one ticket are approximately 1-in- 28,989,675 million. That means for every ticket that wins, there are approximately 28,989,675 tickets that lose .
In other words, for every one person that wins, 28,989,675 people lose. If all those combinations were paid by individual persons with one bet each. Does that make those 28,989,675 losers unlucky? I would say no.
The odds were just against them.
So, don't worry if you feel that you are unlucky. There are 28,989,675 other people that might feel the same way.
So never think that you are a unlucky person as you might think.
