- patio11 16y agoRight: that is the perfect target for the math abilities of the average lottery player. Do a controlled loss on one game, receive PR bonanza and watch as millions of lottery winners learn how to "outsmart" the lottery, introduce Game 2 with the same mechanic and cards which are countable in a fashion which is not exploitable, and watch as ticket sales soar. This would be evil, of course, but if you're running a lottery your entire business is stealing money from poor people.

- alttab 16y agoNow maybe smart poor people. This vision doesn't inspire.
