Do Lottery Tickets Pay off Every Time?
Lottery tickets are one of the best examples of cognitive design that we have. After all, they have transformed something consumers hate to do (pay taxes) into a multi-billion dollar form of entertainment. The design features and why they work (leverage cognitive biases, low cognitive load, high visceral impact, etc.) will be covered extensively in this blog.
For many buying a lottery ticket is an easy thing to do. It gives a sense of hope and momentary excitement that is sometimes shared with friends. These are powerful mental states – hope, excitement and connection all for a dollar or two! If that is what consumers really want when they buy a lottery ticket then they pay off every time.
