Well with real life lotteries I have averaged $0 in about 40 years so a penny a year is a good chance as lotteries go ;-)

- dagw 10y agoYou've still got to factor in $200-300 in electricity a year (I'm assuming you're using a computer that you've already paid for). The numbers on the lottery vary, but most numbers I've found seem to put the expected return around 50-60%. So if you buy $300 worth of lottery tickets a year you should expect to get back ~$150, which is slightly better than the ~$0.005-0.01 you can expect from mining bitcoins with just a high end CPU.
