1 Stock That's Quietly Paying Investors a Monster 5.5% Dividend Yield
2025-12-18 09:52:00 ET
Following some 2015 tinkering with the game format, the odds of winning a Powerball jackpot lengthened to 1-in-292.2 million from 1-in-175.2 million. Given those ratios, it's pretty clear that buyers of lottery tickets aren't investing (and they are also fighting some extremely long odds).
Even with odds clearly stacked against them, Americans continue to indulge in the lottery. In 2023, the average American doled out $320 on lottery tickets. Clearly, that cash would be better allocated to a basic index fund , where it can generate long-term returns, particularly when compounded to the tune of $320 per year, but some folks just like to shoot for the stars.
What if there were a way to actually profit from the lottery without hitting jackpots? There is, thanks to Brightstar Lottery (NYSE: BRSL) , a relatively anonymous mid-cap stock with an eye-catching dividend yield of 5.51%.
