I don't know, I'd still be impressed, wouldn't you? Buying a few million lottery tickets is impressive by itself, both logistically and financially. And even still, odds. It's a lot of risk for anybody to dangle.
Shit, buying every ticket is even more impressive. (I grant your point, you just posed a funny metaphor as comparison.)
