The Odds of Winning the Lottery

Canadafaq.ca offers a new infographic to illustrate that hitting the jackpot is a long shot for millions of Canadians who dream of a lucky bet

Art Branch Inc., the parent company of Canadafaq.ca today announces the publication of a new infographic, about the Canadian lottery winners and targeted at people who are trying to win the lottery. (http://www.canadafaq.ca/canadian-lottery-winners.php).

  Developed by the web design and content development teams at Art Branch Inc., the new infographic is based on data provided by Statistics Canada. The information graphic combines images and facts on gambling spending to show why the lottery may be a bad bet. By comparing the chances of winning the lottery to being killed by lightning, the infographic illustrates that hitting the jackpot is a low probability event.

There are many reasons why people play lottery games. Some hope that they will be fortunate enough to win the jackpot while others do it because games are exciting. Everyone has equal chances of winning, irrespective of personal traits, age, intelligence, or background. Some people admit that buying lottery tickets is like throwing money away, but one-fourth of Canadians play weekly. The problem with lottery gambling is that low-income families spend more on tickets as a share of their household income. Given that people tend to under-report their gambling spending, some cash-strapped individuals give their bread and milk money for lottery tickets. Some call lottery gambling a cheap thrill, but statistics show that Canadian men spend between $763 and $881 on gambling per year.

“Some people think that the lotto is their way to riches, but it is very unlikely to win. In fact, a simple savings account will earn you more money in the long run. The bottom line – do something boring with your hard-earned dollars,” said John Wilson, marketing consultant at Art Branch, Inc. While there are many investment instruments out there, spending hundreds of dollars on lottery tickets is a poor investment strategy. The chances of hitting the jackpot are extremely low, regardless of the estimated rate of return. People buy lottery tickets and hope that they will strike it rich. The truth is that one has to be a millionaire to have a real chance of winning. People who buy 50 tickets a week may hit the jackpot in about 5,000 years, as the infographic shows.

CanadaFAQ.ca New Infographic Shows Why Canadian Immigration Policies Should Be Taken Seriously

A new infographic challenges Canadians to learn more about the country's immigration policies.

Toronto (PRWEB) June 26, 2012

CanadaFAQ.ca announced today publication of a new inforgraphic, designed to present some important facts about immigrants settling in Canada, facts that every Canadian should know.

The future of Canadian immigration policies has re-entered the public debate and aroused controversy. Thus the new infographic, which uses data from Citizenship and Immigration Canada, aims to present a profile of immigrant populations and help Canadians learn about them.

Peter Todorov (president of Art Branch, Inc., the parent company of CanadaFAQ.ca) enlisted the help of Tsveta Mirtcheva, the lead web designer at Art Branch Inc.) to design the immigration infographic.

“Canada has always been a country with strong immigration traditions, and it’s a well-known fact that immigrants are the lifeblood of our nation. People from all around the world come to Canada to start a new, better life, sharing their diverse backgrounds and making our country stronger and more competitive,” said Peter Todorov, President of Art Branch Inc.

The infographic makes use of Canadian immigration statistics for 2011, presenting some important facts about immigrants, the continents and countries they come from, the top immigration destinations, and the major immigration categories.

Immigration is a key factor for the country’s socio-economic development, and the infographic provides important immigration information, offered in an easily digestible form. Given the vast territory and relatively small population of Canada, immigration is essential for its economic growth. It makes Canadian businesses more productive and the economy larger. Immigrants are not only workers – they are consumers who buy food, clothing, cars, and housing. The higher level of consumption results in more job openings to produce more goods. Canada is also a country built by immigrants coming from over 200 countries. This has promoted the growth of a multicultural society, based on intercultural dialogue, communication culture, and cultural tolerance. Canada’s multicultural reality shapes the social and cultural life of the country, and immigrants contribute to and enhance the cultural heritage of the country. Canadians should be more concerned about and involved in crafting and implementing immigration policies. This is important for Canada’s future socio-economic development.
