Toto and 4D are all quite familar to adults. Basically, you pay one dollar and hope that perhaps you can earn it big and maybe even enter retirement. Therefore people in Singapore can be often seen at these stations, buying pieces of paper, also known as "chances".
However, among these people, there are people with low income who cannot afford to buy the lotteries and may result in certain marital problems. The wife may complain about insufficient money and the children could also need some school supplies. But because of the man's addiction to gambling, there is serious shortage of money.
After searching on the internet, it is found that the odds of winning the first prize in Toto is actually 1 in 8,145,060! The odds of winning the first prize in 4D is actually one in 10000! What are the odds that you win? Even if you do get a small prize, it would not be able to cover the money you paid for all the tickets. It just shows all this gambling will only do harm.
"Often, the people who really suffer from the problem gambling aren't the gamblers."

Good last quote but if it's not the gambler who suffers, then who is it? Do we just assume it's family, friends and loved ones?
ReplyDeleteYes, it can be assumed
