The major difference between your odds of success when playing the lottery and your odds of success when working at a startup is that you can affect your odds of success by your actions when working on a startup. A successful startup is not an accident, and a failed startup is not just a lack of luck. Make good business choices, product choices, and infrastructure choices and you can make the startup a success. On the other hand make poor product choices, and poor business choices and your startup will fail. On the other hand there is very little strategy or way to improve your odds of success when gambling.
