Quoting yusuf  : Quoting girleegirl: Quoting yusuf : Quoting bliss:
I think I should go and buy a lottery now . |
the most intersting thing is that my friend didnt buy alottary :d
they told him that they hoose his email by miCrosoft Company or some thing like that is that Could happen? or maybe its a joke? |
Yusuf, I hope your friend has not spent any of the money yet!! I have heard of this as an internet scam 
|
Could any one explain what does she mean?????????? |
Yusuf, what she is saying is that it's most likely false. It's like here in the U.S. receiving a publishers clearing house letter. They make you think you have won something and you haven't, which is considered a scam. When someone leads you to believe you won something. Just remember when something seems to good to be true, it usually is. I hope that makes sense for you.

There are many lottery scams about. You get an ewmail to tell you you have been selected at random and you have won a sum of money. They come from the Netherlands, Spain, South Africa. I had one once from the Netherlands and answered the emails until they asked me to send them money and then I replied that I had forwarded all the emails to the lottery scam authority!!

But how can I win a million? play lottery? No thanks, I'm not that dumb.
Most people don't have any hope of coming to grips with a near-vanishing probability like 0.0000000715. With such a small value comes "number numbness" in play.
Does anyone understand how little chance he has of winning big in a lottery? Private and state lottery corporations, which annually all over the world part gullible idiots from trillions of their (almost always meager) earnings, certainly hope not. Attempts to explain the fantasically small probability of winning a lottery often meet with the objection: "But what if I'm the one?". It would be fair to respond: "Don't worry, you won't be".
The probability you have is mathematically zero, yet the bait dangles before millions of gullible people who never fail to buy their weekly ticket. De facto you have the same chance of winning this lottery whether you play or not. In case you still don't think that, think about lightning. Say lightning kills between 200 and 300 peoples in Europe every year. Say we have 250.000.000 people here. Let's say we get 250 kills every year. Divide: you get a probability of 0.000001 (one chance in 1 million). This is a small number, yet MUCH greater that the lottery chance. Therefore you are a GREAT deal more likely to be killed by a lightning sometime in 2006 than you are to win the next say 6-49 lottery you play (that chance, after all is 1 in 14 millions).
So instead of playing lottery you better be very careful when the clouds are really dark.

I understand and agree with everything you said and yet somehow I will still buy the occassional lottery ticket. I am fully aware of the minute chance of winning but still have high hopes.
Well, dreams are nice!!

You win when you don't play actually (You save your money). You play, you lose!
