The "average lottery winner" also wins $4.5 though. (The original claim was that "if you win the lottery jackpot, then you win less than the average lottery winner".)
If there are 100 draws with a $6 jackpot 25 will have no winners, 50 will have one ($6) winner and 25 will have two ($3 each) winners.
100 winners in total - half won $6 and half won $3.
- FabHK 2y agoYou are correct. So, the statement should not be "if you win the lottery jackpot, then you win less than the average lottery winner", but "if you win the lottery jackpot, then you win less than lottery winners win on average"?
- kgwgk 2y agoWhen you win the lottery you win on average what lottery winners win on average when they win the lottery. One may find ways to define things differently so something is less than something else but I’m not sure what’s the point in doing so.
