Ignoring scratch cars and Sky (how is Sky related to this), can you give an example of how much someone might spend on lottery tickets alone?
I understand with scratch cards, as you might get an instant win, and the odds of getting something right then and there isn't too remote, but I don't...
That's what I thought it was, but I think I was mistaken. What's confused me is the signs that say something like 'This machine pays out x%', stating it as a fact, rather than simply odds.
I don't think it's the same - you might win at Roulette, and then play and win again, and again, and again (if you're lucky). You can't do that with the machines, if they've paid out a bit, don't they spin the wheels and ensure that you don't win, regardless of whether or not you're lucky?
