Know what you're really up against.
On average, a lotto ticket pays back less than it costs. The ads don't say by how much. Trackkn takes official Australian figures on lotto, pokies, sport odds, rent, fuel, bank rates and crime where you live, and turns them into plain answers.

If you saved it instead
$31,846
That's $20 a week put into savings instead of tickets, left for 20 years at an example 4% interest. You'd put in $20,800. Interest does the rest.
In 20 years, that could be a good start on a house deposit, a car paid for in cash, or a cushion for when you stop work.
