Lotteries

Lotteries can be bought at only a dollar or two, but many people buy a lot of tickets, or buy them everyday, thus wasting their hard-earned money. Most of the poor people in Singapore might be well-off once. They might have spent all their money on lotteries, thus leading them to their bankruptcy. My parents also buy some tickets, but they only buy a few and once a month. The keyword here is self-control, my parents told me. People who rely on lotteries to live will never get rich. There are also poor people who buy the lottery in the hope of winning the jackpot, so that they can escape they hopeless situation. However, this will only worsen their current situation. There are only a few people who will win the jackpot and there is a high chance it will not be them. They should just look for a job and not spend their money on lotteries. The money can then be saved. In conclusion, I condemn lotteries because it will ruin people’s life.
