    You win every time you do not play the lottery.

    You have more chance to play the lottery your whole life and never win a significant amount, than it is to win a significant amount once.

    Since the lottery is a business, big part of all the ticket sales is used to run the business (and to generate profit). Only the rest is used to pay the winnings.
