- Fomite 7y agoWe generally tell people that trying to hit the actual lottery is a bad idea.
- Apocryphon 7y agoActually it’s less like a regulated lottery at this point and more like loot boxes.
- nradov 7y agoPlaying the lottery isn't necessarily a bad idea if other people are giving you money to buy tickets.
- Spellman 7y agoAs long as they don't come looking for those returns you promised
- smabie 7y agoIt often has a positive expected value. Maybe you could elaborate on the St Petersburg Paradox?
- paulie_a 7y agoYou might as well play the lottery. You have better odds than thinking you will sell for a billion. Hell selling for 100 million or even ten. It's delusions of grandeur.
- WJW 7y agoPlaying the lottery is much less time-absorbing as well.
