Mega SenaWinning Lottery Jackpots – It’s in our DNA!
Thursday, January 26th, 2012Here’s something to get you thinking: if you lose a hundred bucks you’ll probably feel a bit hacked off; however should you WIN a hundred you’ll no doubt feel pretty good! Now the problem is this; if you’ve just lost the $100 the feelings you have about losing it, hack you off TWICE AS MUCH as any excitement you feel from winning the $100! Is that heavy, or what? This phenomenon is known universally as “loss aversion!”
Still need to be convinced? Toss a coin – heads you win a $100; tails you lose a $100. If you’re not comfortable with a straight 50 / 50, win / lose choice, then decide the biggest amount you ARE comfortable losing? To measure your degree of loss aversion, just divide $100 by your chosen amount.
Now that’s pretty much what we do whenever we decide to buy a lottery ticket, except we don’t do it scientifically! Most of us would probably be very uncomfortable about buying one million greenbacks worth of lottery tickets on the possibility of winning a multi-million jackpot, always assuming you had a spare million in the first place, but will quite readily spend one dollar on a lottery ticket to win the same jackpot, simply because one dollar is what we ARE comfortable with. Sociologists and anthropologists reckon loss aversion has helped humans survive in earlier environments, when the opportunity for gain by hunting down mega-beasts to eat was perceived to be far greater that any potential danger arising from the hunt itself!
So there we have it – if ever proof was needed – playing the lottery is obviously in our human DNA – so what are you waiting for? Never mind “mega-beasts” there are some “mega-million” jackpots up for grabs this very week, including Powerball, Super Enalotto, Indiana Hoosier, and EuroMillions with a collective total of TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHT SEVEN MILLION dollars between them, and that’s just from 4 lotteries – the only requisite is a ticket and you can get one of those right here at WinTrillions, where you can play the world’s biggest and richest lotteries, without ever leaving your personal comfort zone or having to hunt down or be eaten by a mega-beast!
