Should You Play Lottery Online
A lottery online is a game of chance where the
players choose a set number of random numbers and if
those numbers are drawn the player who has chosen
them wins.
As an example in a play 5 game the player would
choose 5 random numbers 2-67-84-23-45 and when the
lottery drawing occurs, usually once per week, if
the numbers that are drawn match all five of the
players numbers then the player wins. The odd of
winning such a game depends on how many players
there are for the game and the payout amounts often
vary wildly.
Many of the online games however are little more
than scams. The lotteries are run as email farms. An
email farm is a place that collects email addresses
and sells them to businesses. The businesses buy
them so that they have places to send all that junk
email and spam ads you are constantly clearing away
from Yahoo and Hotmail and other sites.
If these places actually paid out the winnings it
would not be so bad. Really who would not put up
with a little junk mail if it came with $100,000.00?
Honestly most of us would read junk mail 8 hours a
day for a year for that kind of pay check.
Unfortunately the majority of these places do not
bother to payout the big winners so the only good
thing is they are usually free to play.
There are actually legitimate sites to play online
lotteries but you have to be careful. Just because a
site says "drawings held by XXX state lottery
commission every Wednesday" does not mean they are
legit. There are however many actual state lotteries
that are online and those are legitimate.
While many lottery online sites are scams with low
or no payouts of the winnings there are actually
some legitimate games on the internet where you can
play games such as pick 3. Play 4, and scratch off
games as well.
