The Lott
You've got to be in it for the chance to win it, but does buying your lottery ticket in-store or online influence your chance of winning? While some might believe one is 'better' than the other, the short answer is your chance of winning remains the same. But depending on whether you look at the number of winning entries or the total prize money won, that's where winning success can look a little different.
