Key Principles for Responsible Participation
-
-
1. Set a Budget
-
Engage in number draws only with funds set aside for leisure or discretionary purposes. Avoid using money required for essential needs such as rent, utilities, or groceries.
-
2. Track Your Time
-
Be aware of how much time you spend reviewing results, exploring draws, or making selections. Participation should always remain a casual and balanced activity that does not interfere with personal, professional, or family responsibilities.
-
3. Understand the Nature of Outcomes
-
All number draws are based on random selection. There are no systems, formulas, or patterns that can guarantee a specific outcome. Participation should be viewed as a form of entertainment rather than a way to generate income.
-
4. Know When to Take a Break
-
If you notice feelings of frustration, stress, or the urge to recover losses, it may be time to pause. Responsible play includes recognizing personal limits and seeking balance.
