@avantgame Yes, precisely … the lightning-strike odds of winning are actually higher than the asteroid-strike chances of a good job. -
@pomeranian99@avantgame: of course, few understand that statistically speaking, the odds are about the same whether you buy a ticket or not -
@mathewi@avantgame True, though on another level, maybe the likelihood is *higher* than of getting a good job, out of debt, etc. -
@pomeranian99 yes, I think that for the most frequent players that is absolutely true.
