Lottery Optimists

 

An optimist is a person who sees the best in every situation and expects even better things to happen in the future. Anyone who reads this website regularly will have noticed that a very high proportion of lottery jackpot winners were also quite optimistic about their chances beforehand. So does this mean that lottery optimism is a key to jackpot winning success or is it just an interesting coincidence? Read on and we think that our conclusion about lottery optimists might surprise you…

We here at Lottery.co.uk are a fairly rational bunch. We know that every ticket has exactly the same chance of winning any lottery game, be it the Lotto, EuroMillions or the Millionaire Raffle. But we also believe that the lottery player who is optimistic has a better chance of winning a major prize than one who is pessimistic, and there are several very good reasons for this, as follows:

Optimists Play More Games
The more optimistic a lottery player is, the more games they are generally willing to play. Less optimistic players might focus on just the Lotto draw on a Wednesday or Saturday, but more optimistic players also play EuroMillions, Dream Number and other National Lottery games.

Optimists Play More Often
Not only do lottery optimists play a wider variety of games, they also tend to play more often. Pessimistic players usually participate on a fairly sporadic basis, maybe choosing to play only when there is a massive rollover jackpot up for grabs. Optimists, on the other hand, are more likely to participate in every draw without fail. In fact, the most optimistic players are often those who have participated in every draw since a game was launched and/or they became old enough to join in the fun.

Optimists Buy More Tickets
Obviously the number of tickets that any player purchases for a game is dependent on their unique financial circumstances and lottery budget, but generally speaking the more optimistic players tend to buy more tickets for the games they choose to play. If a highly optimistic player doesn’t want to buy more tickets personally then they often decide to join or form a lottery syndicate so that they can still benefit from more entries per draw.

Now when you take these three factors into consideration, it really isn’t a surprise that lottery optimists can – on average – expect a higher chance of winning a major prize than lottery pessimists. Whereas a pessimist might only play one game every now and again and even then buy just one or two tickets, an optimist will be participating in more games on a regular basis and also buy more tickets. The optimist therefore has a higher statistical chance of winning!

So there you have it – our perfectly rational explanation for why we believe that lottery optimists have a better chance of winning than pessimists. If you are optimistic about your chances of winning a life-changing jackpot at some point in the future then why not buy lottery tickets online today? You just might be lucky enough to prove our theory for yourself and get rich in the process!
