Still they trumpet about the astonishing money you can possibly (I would better say impossibly) win next time.

Anyway, I think it's possible to win something. Also I believe, if you decide to play, waste as much as you don't afraid to loose, play only for pleasure and don't hope for "big money". So, that's my rule to not get disappointed. For example, yesterday I have won almost 14 dollars in <a href="http://australian-lotto-results.com/" rel="nofollow">Australian Lotto</a>.
