Are people who constantly play the Lottery simply bad at math, desperate, or plain ole' addicts?

Every time I go into a Chevron I see people that are in front of some electronic horse race on televison or buying extremely expensive Keno or Scratch off tickets...My question is this: Has this become like the new heroin for these people? Are they sucked
I think they are just foolish, but what does it really matter? Lots of people spend money foolishly. That's their right in a free society.
People spend money to watch the Baltimore Orioles play, but there is a zero chance they will make

Well I smoke and it has nothing to do with playing the lotto. I also occasionally buy a super lotto plus or mega millions ticket. I know the odds are extremely bad and I know how many combination there are too it. How ever spending 10 bucks on a chance

I'm really struggling with these questions...getting the answer would be awesome but I would really like to know how to get there as well...I'm going to have an exam on this, nooooo!
1. In 4-spot Keno, you pick 4 numbers out of
E(x) = xi * P(x = xi)
= 0*234407/316316+ 1*67260/316316 + 4*13680/316316+120*969/316316
= (0+67260+ 54720 +116280) /316316
238260/316316
= .75
2) n = 15 r = 2 p = 0.05 q

Keno is among the most popular games played in Las Vegas even though it ranks as one of the least “fair” in the sense that the odds are overwhelmingly in favor of the house. A keno has 80 numbers 1 through 80, from which the player selects a sample
Well of the 80 numbers 25% will be winners and 50% of that will be eligible to be won. But the odds of winning are greater because not all twenty numbers from the winnings have to match. So it is really something like a 1/8 chance but doubled since it
