The culture of lottery in Sing

The culture of lottery in Singapore is indeed interesting, but this comes back to ourselves. I prefer buying shares because it gives me control and offers consistent growth. Even though calling has almost as much risk, it's about understanding the market. This is very different from the lottery which only relies on luck.

Buy Call or Buy Lottery: Your Choice is?

Singaporeans are the world’s number one when it comes to love for the lottery! In the 2019 World Lottery Yearbook, it was reported that Singapore spends $5.41 billion (about SGD 7.1 billion) annually on lottery tickets. This amounts to $935 per person (about SGD 1,240), far exceeding the $798 per person in Massachusetts, USA, which ranks second globally. Some tigers say that buying lottery tickets is less certain than purchasing call options. Some investors spend a small amount each week buying ODTE options, betting that this company will suddenly experience a surge in stock price.
