doesnt matter, on average youre losing either way. the point is that the thrill may be worth the cost

there is a chance of winning isnt there? it doesnt have to outweigh the cost to be thrilling
take it this way: i know that by buying $20 worth of tickets every week i will be losing on average $5 a week. on the other hand, every week theres a 10% chance i end up making $100, the thrill of that is an experience worth more than $5 according to me.

what if they buy them for the thrill and not because they expect to win? its not a financial decision its entertainment.

i dont feel comfortable calling it the roman empire knowing Rome wasnt part of it
