I have no idea where the lottery analogy is going. Winning the lottery is entirely luck, so it seems to imply that building a successful startup is luck too, but since he doesn't actually argue that point anywhere I'm inclined to think he's just spouting analogies at random hoping nobody will notice they're baseless

No, some lottery winners will say they spent a lot of time and effort to figure out the hidden pattern among winning numbers in a lottery. So they worked a lot just like all startup founders.

  It's certainly not entirely luck. There's a literal 0% chance I'll ever win.
