　　Why Do People Like to Buy Lotteries?

　　Nowadays, there exist all kinds of lotteries in our society, such as welfare
lottery², sports lottery, computer lottery, and so forth³. Anyone, whether men or women,
the young or the old, may buy lottery tickets. But why do so many people like buying
them?

　　The following reasons can account for the popularity of lotteries. First of all,
most people are trying their luck on lottery tickets. They have a long-cherished dream
of making big money overnight. In addition, there are some people who want to make
donation to public welfare by buying lottery tickets. Besides, some people buy them
just for fun。

　　As far as I am concerned, there are some risks in buying lotteries. People never
should count on making big money by buying lotteries. Furthermore, lotteries to some
extent are similar to gambling⁴, so people should not spend too much money and energy
on them. In a word, people should keep a clear head when buying lotteries。
