But do you really find going around telling people that they're not going to win the lottery makes them stop playing?" Not 100% successfully, but of course it helps. Why don't you go around and ask some people why they don't play the lottery? I think such advice misunderstands the psychology of why people gamble on very long odds. It's why I don't gamble. It's why lots of people don't gamble. People aren't completely rational, but they're not completely irrational either. Helping people put understand the true odds of what they're engaged in is a good thing. What do you have against people knowing the facts?
