I don't know much about how to win the lotto, but I know that a lot of people buy lottery tickets and many of them actually win prizes. I don't know a single person who has won the jackpot, but I know that many of my friends have won prizes and money in the lottery at least once in their lives. I recently found an interesting article about
why do people play the lottery games. It seems to me that in this article there is a really good explanation of this phenomenon and there are statistics about what the probability of winning is.
