I think lottery gamblers tend to engage in irrational risk-taking behavior, which can contribute to excessive and problematic gambling habits. This behavior may be driven by cognitive biases such as the illusion of control or the belief that one's luck is due to change. Additionally, the allure of winning a large sum of money may override rational decision-making and lead individuals to take greater risks than they should. Therefore, irrational risk can play a role in lottery gambling activities.
