With a 6 number combination from numbers 1 to 55, the probability of winning is 1 to about 28,000,000 for each ticket. This means that you need to bet nearly Php600 million pesos now to surely win the pot. Not such a great investment in my opinion.
Yet you see queues such as this in most lottery ticket stations. Our people have fallen into the lure of the possibility of "instant richness". They have probably lost hope and belief that hard work pays off and will improve their lives. Wrong as it may be, we cannot blame them for thinking so. No one can discount the fact that life has not been exactly rosy here for a very long time now.
Other people have decided to try their luck in another country. While others have turned to schemes such as the lotto to alleviate them from their woeful lives.
