The odds are against you.

The odds are too high and will always work against you. Start saving the money you would spend on lotto tickets and at the end of the year you have. That's your winnings. Go on a trip, celebrate.

Because millions of other people are trying to win as well, and the chances of getting all the numbers correct are astronomically low.
Consider how hard it would be to simply get 3 numbers right...
that is 1000 different possibilities of numbers (000 - 999)
Now ad 4 numbers...
5 numbers...
You get my drift?
Very very hard to get all the numbers right, especially when one of them can be one of 80+ numbers (However high your state goes) ...
Thinking of that...
1 number, is a 1 out of however many, we'll use 80
2 numbers, 1 out of 80 for the first, 1 out of 80 for the 2nd... go all the way up to 6 numbers and it's pretty much impossible.
I am not sure the exact odd's, but the number is huge... 10's of millions of combinations, maybe more.

If I asked you,do you think If I jumped off a 150 foot bridge without a bungee do you think I would survive.The answer might be maybe but depending on alot of things just like if you played lotto.It would be like jumping to survive.Most likely you won't.The odds of you surviving are very bad.Actually if you want even a better comparison.Jump of a bridge thats 1000ft high.Thats more realistic.No offence cause I play too.

Apart from the odd's being against you, and everything everyone else has already said...if you do not play, you not have any chance at all ! The chances are small, but you only have to win once, if you get the big one.
I am an optimist, but it is each to his own!

Because your chances are like 1 in a billion sweetie. You have better luck gambling in Vegas.
