Considering the jackpot was 21m, which means 42m tickets were sold at $5 per, aprox 8.4m tickets were sold over the past few months for this 1 jackpot.
I'd say a huge part of the population would be involved.
The person who win in tobago with a $5 qp obviously didn't think it dumbSaltbae wrote:Well we know it rkgged, soo who dumb enough to buy tickets?

Interesting POV, I wonder what the local demographics are.
I don't gamble, purely because it was a disease in my family for a couple generations and I decided to break the cycle.

Now, consider the following.
This country has a population of 1,400, 000
Of that amount, less than 300,000 eligible people play lotto..
With those odds and players, we can safely estimate that everyone must play exactly 10.8 times before any one person can win, and that's the bare minimum.
Now multiply 10.8 by the number of possible combination of numbers that haven't played yet and can still be played.
Yuh really feel anybody could ever win that lotto jackpot in its current design?
It made to serve two functions. First, foy players to lose and generate money for the state.
Second, to distract the simpletons with a hope that they could possibly one day they can become financially well off with almost zero real effort.
