Answer 1

Answer: Option(c) is correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

In terms of psychology, counterfactual thinking is the thinking process in which a person creates other alternative that could be possible for a life event that has already taken place.These alternatives are usually opposing the actual happening.

According to the question, person would feel worse if the ticket would been bought across the state as it will give person to think about numerous opportunities for buying winning lottery ticket as alternative but did not buy it even after various chances .

Other options are incorrect because count of every penny would not get easier,thinking about enjoyable things with lottery money and thinking local winner is same as the person will not happen if winning tickets would have been bought across the state area.Thus, the correct option is option(c).
