expected return exercise. What he showed was that the lottery had a negative
5 cents return - at best in the long term it would cost you 5 cents for
every dollar you put into the lottery.
I won $200 the next week on the provincial lottery.

Every week I buy $100 worth of tickets, all with the same number, in order
to increase my share the day the numbers finally do win. I buy 1-2-3-4-5-6
in the Pick Six, and this strategy is going to pay off by the time I ready
to retire.
I know that, in terms of statistical relevance, my odds are just as good
that I would randomly find the winning ticket lying in the street without
ever playing the lottery.
But this is going to work. There is no question.
