    With Lotteries funding State education budgets, the best way to sustain them is to NOT teach probability&statistics in school

        @neiltyson You know, $2 is actually pretty cheap for the dopamine hit daydreams provide. You're assuming people don't get the math.

        @dcoulter45 @neiltyson Exactly. We get that it's basically impossible. So are hobbits. LotR was still a fun story.

        @neiltyson I don't care what the stats say. It's still the most enjoyment you can get for $2 in America even if you lose.
