The lottery is never done for fun, it is stressful. Wether you buy play a lotto ticket weekly or you do it on occasion, responsible gambling is the grounding force that makes it a healthy addiction.
First define a budget for how much you are willing to spend. Hold on to it, even though you do not win. Treat your ticket like it’s entertainment, do not think of it as an investment.
Avoid chasing losses. Not that just because you didn’t win last week that you are “due” to win. The lottery is random and so are all draws.
It also helps to not purchase too many tickets based on the thought that drastic odds will be made in your favor. Even though it does help technically, the odds are against you and you might spend more money.
