De ce credem că vom câștiga la loto, deși șansele sunt 1 la 15 milioane? Explicația psihologică • Newsweek România

People continue to play the lottery despite low odds due to psychological factors. The availability heuristic leads us to focus on winners, while the low ticket price allows us to dream about potential winnings. Many players feel a sense of control by choosing their own numbers, and the 'near win' syndrome encourages them to keep playing. Statistically, the chances of winning are extremely low, yet the emotional excitement of dreaming about a better life keeps players engaged. As long as lottery play is seen as entertainment rather than a financial solution, it can be harmless.
