Whether young or old, people stand in long lines to buy tickets, even waiting all night to do so.1.

Buying a call option or a lottery ticket boils down to your understanding of probability versus randomness. A lottery ticket offers a tiny chance at life-changing wealth, but it’s pure luck.  A call option, on the other hand, represents an informed bet—you’re leveraging your analysis of market trends, company performance, and macroeconomic factors. The difference? Control and strategy. With a call, you decide on the strike price, expiration, and risk tolerance. You might not hit the jackpot overnight, but it rewards due diligence. Lottery tickets, however, are a dream—no research, no effort, just hope. Personally, I’d rather back my knowledge and data with a call option. Even if the market doesn’t play out as expected, every trade refines your skills for the next one! 

Why not buy both? 🤪 which is what I am doing. As they say, no buy no win.  However that being said, I bought more calls than the lottery. As I know that the chance of me winning the lottery is very slim and am ready to part ways with my $1 Toto quick pick.  Buy long dated calls!!!! $NVDA 20251219 120.0 CALL$ $GOOG 20250117 140.0 CALL$ $PLTR 20250117 45.0 CALL$ 

When it comes to Singaporeans' enthusiasm for the lottery, few countries can compete. According to the 2019 World Lottery Yearbook, Singaporeans top the world in lottery spending, with a whopping $5.41 billion (about SGD 7.1 billion) shelled out every year on lottery tickets. That’s around $935 per person, outpacing even Massachusetts in the United States, where spending is about $798 per capita. But, what if the lottery wasn’t the only game in town for Singaporeans who enjoy a thrill? Enter: options trading—specifically, call options. A call option, for those who might be new to the concept, gives an investor the right (but not the obligation) to buy a stock at a predetermined price within a specified period. This can be a lucrative way to bet on price movements. While you might think tha

Definitely buy Call! Lottery is one in a million chances to win only and you might not even get that chance to win big in your lifetime. If it doesn't strike, you lose that cash for good. Stock on the other hand, if you analyze well about the potential of the company and did your diligent research to buy a good stock, even if the stock does not increase at that moment of purchase, there will always be another chance for it to skyrocket. Just need to be patient and have the tenacity to hold your investment. At worst, if the stock is not doing well, you can still sell and take back without incurring 100% loss.

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.

$ALB.HK 20241122 100.00 CALL$  It's me again! This is the latest lottery play that caught my attention, it's dropping badly in HangSeng now, however with conference call coming on 15th, I believe there would be news for bullish sentiment. IV looks ready to rip, and also pending singles day sales figure (if any). Looking to sell when share reaches $105. Good luck all!

Both buy call and lottery are equally based on luck. Buy call winning amount is limited..But SG Toto lottery can win up to millions with only by betting $1🥳

Actually buying lottery is just base on your luck.  You cannot predict what will come out as they are too many combinations. Win 1 times and loss 9    Times you still loss. Unlike stocks and share there are 3 possibilities, up or down or sideway.  That my opinion. That's my though .

I believe in Buying Call Options has a Higher Probability to Win Daily, Weekly or even Monthly allowance [Happy].... however, I will still place my Small bets on the Lottery, even though it's a Super Low Probability [Chuckle] [Chuckle] [Chuckle].

I don't buy lottery, not regularly at least.  Buying call is also like lottery, but higher chance of winning if you know technical analysis and the fundamentals of a company. If price action show the stock has bottomed out, a simple long call get you nice profits with less capital outlay
