I don't remember 37signals claiming you'll hit the jackpot with their proposed model either. Their entire argument can be summed up as "forget the freaking jackpot!" Hoping to win the lottery is not a good way to make money. Instead, you should just build a profitable business that you can live very comfortably from. That's hard too, but it's a lot more feasible than winning the lottery. And by winning the lottery, I mean getting an exit of a ridiculous amount of money, whether you were VC funded or not.
