What you get when you buy a lottery ticket

Tags: Psychology, Winning

People who buy lotterly tickets don’t do it to become millionaires or to get a better live.

They know the chances of winning are infinitely small. And they know that millionaires don’t have necessarily better lives in the conventional meaning of the word, they aren’t happy and lottery winners keep buying lottery tickets.

What you get what you buy a lottery ticket is the thrill, the reward that comes with anticipation, the same thing that happens more or less with first dates, a new job, planning a trip. You know it probably won’t change your life or put you in a new direction – but for a brief moment, it might!
