If anyone feel that the only way to become rich is to gamble on 4-D, ToTo and Big Sweep.
Sadly, it is a wrong assumption.
On the contrary, it makes one even poorer.
An example of a "small-punter" who spends a total of $3 each legalised gambling day - Wed, Sat & Sun.
That works out to $12/- per month (4 weeks).
A whopping $144/- per annum.
If he strikes (should be very lucky) a consolation price, he/she will be paid $180/- ( a win of only $32 out of $144/- spent).
Please be positive and think about it carefully. Is it worth the while.???
The chances of getting one number correct (in the order betted) out of 9999 is tough.
What about getting getting all the 4 numbers (in order of bet) correct. Tougher still...
Think of Principles of "The Probabability Factor". More people tend to loose.
The STC does not reveal how much is collected or how much paid to winners.
Once in a while they will give charity to some organisations. That too, a picture of the CEO or other top-gun will appear next to a huge cheque with the sum written. If the sum donated is $200,000 (as an example) and their annual taking is $30 billion dollars - what is the fraction that they pay to charity - peanuts....?
So please rethink and make a wise decision. Stay far from these outlets. Save your money instead for some other important family use.
