How is it possible for people to win the Illinois Lottery everyday? Where does the money come from?

Is it a scam? If someone won 91 million dollars today how is it possible for someone else to win 123 million dollars the next day? This seems impossible. I’ve only played the lottery once in my life, and that was the other day. I bought a ticket just like everyone else does. I watched the news for the results, but of course I didn’t win. I didn’t expect to win on my first ticket. It seems as if all the winners are older people, and they have been playing the Illinois Lottery for years. Was it about time someone made those faithful lottery ticket buyers millionares? I don’t understand. How are people winning those large sums of money every other day? Where is this money coming from.

    the money comes from everyone who has bought tickets. you must have paid at least a dollar to get the ticket and now you know this winner has your dollar. its unbelievable how many people buy tickets and also the fact that some people buy loads of tickets just so that there is a higher chance of winning the money as some people are addicts. its not a scam, the money comes from the players and sometimes people sponsor it.

    People who buy the tickets.. Amazingly they make almost as much as twice as much as they give away everyday and most states give some money to charity and stuff… i still find it amazing how they make that much money a day..
