^ But there's a 99.99999% chance that you'll lose the lottery if you play, and a 100% chance you'll lose if you don't. That's statistically insignificant.



"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy

I don't consider myself as a gambler, although in a game called Keno, i have two lines going each day.
I wish i had enough money to play with odds, which would remove the element of losing money from the game.

yeah maybe so, but im still sure more people have won the lottery than been struck by lightning.. in the UK there is at least one jackpot winner twice a week, usually more. that doesnt include all the people who win smaller amounts, and smaller amounts.. and so on.. whereas being struck by lightning is pretty rare indeed. being struck by lightning would certainly get you in the news.

See, it says "hundreds" a year. i know that could be quite a lot, but like i said.. if you dont mess around under trees and near water, that takes away like a third each of the risk factor

My parents have been playing for years. Never won a single centavo.

The only lottery I've ever won was the Suikoden III one. Not the grand prize though.
