Download or read book Are lotteries fair and if so when should they be used written by Andjelika Eissing-Patenova and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2018-08-23 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Philosophy - Practical (Ethics, Aesthetics, Culture, Nature, Right, ...), grade: 1,00, University of Salzburg, course: Ethics - Theoretical and Applied, language: English, abstract: How should we decide about whom to give access to medical treatment, like transplanting organs? How should study places be allocated as fairly as possible? Should only the strongest men be chosen for military service? When there are sufficient resources to satisfy all potential claimants, the implementation of allocating processes might be simple, but what does distributive justice require when resources are scarce? When should we discriminate between people, i.e. decide on the basis of special considerations, and when is it better to choose randomly? Philosophers have provided different theories of distributive justice and argue in distinct and partly conflicting manners particularly about the use of lotteries. Regarding allocation processes, this means that the allocator and the claimants do not know in advance who will receive the good and who will not. Thus, a lottery may ensure that nobody can be preferred on grounds of special considerations. This paper focuses on the question: Are lotteries fair and if so, when should they be used? An answer to this question is not only relevant for individuals and everyday-life decisions, but also in very broader terms for political, societal or economic questions concerning distributive fairness, with probably global impacts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lotteries have been used to make all kinds of public decisions ever since the days of Ancient Greece. They can contribute to some of our most important values, such as rationality, justice, and democracy. But until recently, there was no theory to make sense of lotteries and what they can do. The past few decades have changed that with a veritable renaissance of studies on lotteries. This book collects fourteen of the most important of these papers, and offers a critical introduction tying them together.

This book was released on 2015-02-18 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worldwide Lottery Games In Naturally Optimized Systems Pick 5 has been developed on the authors’ initiative, based on the belief that nothing in the Universe happens by chance because there are laws governing everything, and by increasing our knowledge, we can triumph over mere chance. This is a book for players and/or groups of players (syndicates) who want to play to more than seventy lottery games from at least fifty countries over five continents, as: MEGA MILLIONS (U.S.A., Multi-State), POWERBALL (U.S.A., Multi-State), EUROMILLIONS (Europe, Multi-Country), EUROJACKPOT (Europe, Multi-Country), SUPER LOTTO (China), SIKKIM THUNDERBALL (India), THUNDERBALL (U.K.), LOTO (France) SANS TOPU (Turkey), EL GORDO (Spain), GOSLOTO 5 iz 36 (Russia), MINI LOTO (Japan), QUINA (Brazil) and so on. Worldwide Lottery Games In Naturally Optimized Systems Pick 5 contains 122 systems built with the help of original mathematical models. It is an original book comprising 51 simple variants systems, 38 pivoted variants systems and 33 combined variants systems for which the number of played numbers has values between 9 and 67 inclusive. Each system has its main characteristics, the winnings index and the unfolding on variants. The categories and the winnings will certainly be within the limits of one of the situations specified in the winnings index of the system used. All the playing systems selected in the present book are originally and naturally optimized, because the main parameters of the component combinatorial structures have optimal values. Therefore, 90 playing systems are at a level of absolute performance, which means with a smaller number of combinations, of the same category, it is not possible to get higher winnings indexes. The other 32 playing systems are at the highest level of current performance. More, all the playing systems are highly balanced. Experience in recent years has confirmed the value of the naturally optimized systems included in the book, through the numerous and substantial wins obtained by their help in many countries. Using the naturally optimized systems is a smart strategy for playing the lottery. FIVE ADVANTAGES OF NATURALLY OPTIMIZED SYSTEMS - Harmony with nature They are generated in harmony with nature, as they are based on the principles of balance, symmetry and proportion – fundamental principles of the creation, known everywhere in the world for thousands of years, which ensures their durability and high quality. - Optimum performance They are at a level of absolute performance, or at the highest level of current performance, as the main parameters of their combinatorial structures have optimum values. - Multi-system compatibility They are useful both to players and to groups of players worldwide, for lottery games of 5, 6 and 7 numbers in simple variant. - Guaranteed wins They help the lottery players to obtain guaranteed wins, strictly according to the previsions of the winnings indexes. - Accessibility They are easily accessible, can be understood by any player and their use does not require great effort, the action being made as simple as possible.
