Play Lotto Poker Responsibly
Tips on how to play Lotto Poker responsibly.
- Make a budget for playing the lotto. Set aside how much money you can afford to spend on tickets each week, and stick to it.
- Don't be a gambler. If you're finding that you're losing more often than you're winning, it's time to take a break. Chasing losses will only result in more irritation and larger losses in the long run.
- Play for the joy of it, not for money. Keep in mind that the lottery is a game of chance; there is no way to ensure victory. Playing for the sake of making money might be stressful, so focus on having fun instead.
- When sharing lottery tickets, be accountable. If you do decide to share your lottery tickets with others, make sure you set clear expectations up front about how any winnings will be shared. This can help to avoid quarrels of quarrels and wounded feelings in the future.
- Know when to quit. Playing the lottery may be habit-forming, so it's critical to know when to quit. It's time to leave the game if you discover that you're spending more money on tickets than you can afford or if you're beginning to become fixated on winning.
