I ran the numbers once on one of those Ball Game things when I worked at a Casino.
The likelihood of winning was astronomically low.
Also, in the event someone won, the Casino was insured for the payout.

Being in an airline crash, then falling right into a shark's mouth 10 times over is probably more likely.

Odds of winning the Powerball are 1: 280M. Cost of a ticket is $2. If the payout, after taxes and taking cash up front, is greater than $560M then at that point you are not gambling, you're making a long shot investment because the on average ROR on a ticket is greater than the $2 cost.

If it was about babies we'd have universal maternal care. There would be no charge no matter how complex the delivery. But its not about babies, is it?

No shit.

It would be pretty easy to get eaten by a shark if you were trying to do that.
