It is world population day, and we’re at 7.9 billion people. The population clock shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Does this mean your chances for exciting opportunities are depleting by the second? Let’s look into how your luck fares against the world!
How many play the lottery?
People play lottery games in more than half of the countries in the world. For example, every week in the United Kingdom, more than half of the adult population plays the lottery. Considering the probability of winning a lottery jackpot, given the chances of winning against such an event, we get an idea of the irrationality of buying a lottery ticket for enrichment or investment purposes.
In a lottery, where you pick six numbers from a possible pool of 49 numbers, your chance of winning the jackpot (if you get all six numbers drawn) is 1 in 13,983,816. That’s one shot in nearly 14 million.
What are the odds?
In such a scenario, if you bought a lottery ticket weekly, you could expect to win once every 269,000 years. Unfortunately, many lotteries have even worse odds than the scenario just described. For example, the popular Mega Millions multi-state lottery has odds of around 1 in 175,711,536. That’s right, 1 in almost 176 million!
Why do so many people spend money on lottery tickets if the odds aren’t good? That’s a great question. For most, the entertainment factor seems to be taking risks and indulging in the get-rich-quick fantasy.
Every year, we celebrate World Population Day on July 11. to make people aware of the growing population issues. There are so many people that nearly six hundred million live in extreme poverty. It is a problem that isn’t likely to be solved overnight, so we want to do our part in the process.
