Welcome to Lottery Addicts Anonymous

You don’t need me to tell that dealing with an addiction can be a bitch. You have that voice in the back of your head urging you to partake in something you shouldn’t be doing. That voice makes it difficult to ignore. Heaven forbid you come face to face with temptation… You’re a goner. For alcoholics and drug addicts, their dependence usually is a physical dependence. Your body...

How Does the Lottery Benefit Society, States, and Players?

The significance of the lottery has been discussed fairly extensively in the past couple decades as it continues to expand and become a regular part of state economies.

It’s also nice that we all have the chance to wake up on a Sunday morning with a big ol...

This one lottery ticket or trip to the casino or scratch card could be it. It could be the winner! We have all gambled before and focused on those ‘could be’ moments that never appear to prevail.

Have You Ever Wondered What Happens to Unclaimed Lottery Prizes?

It’s weird to think that someone could win the lottery and not know it. It was recently released in the US that there were over $800 million worth of unclaimed lottery prizes in 2013. That’s a staggering number to think about. Almost $1 billion dollars of unclaimed lottery prizes in a single year? How could somebody possibly not realize that they won millions of dollars? What the?!?...

Does the Lottery Help or Hurt the Economy?

I don’t know about you, but it never occurred to me that playing the lottery could help (or hurt) the economy. I may be naïve but I just though the money that we (the lotto players) put in is what we would win. Of course, minus fees and what not. It would make sense, wouldn’t it?

Winning the Lottery vs. Working Hard For Your Money

We can probably relay this to being similar to the age old question about whether it’s better to be good or lucky. I’ve always been one to say that luck is built through hard work, but how can we say that when it comes to the lottery? Winning the lottery is something that never happens in most people’s lifetimes. We may have five or six $500 scratcher wins, but actually hitting it...

The People’s Postcode Lottery: Should I Stay or Should I Go?

The People’s Postcode Lottery is quite an interesting lottery system.
