I've played the Powerball simulator for 1,092 years and have lost 91% of my money

I like to think of it as division: you have: very_small_chance / 0.0 = infinity ( I KNOW it’s not infinity, it’s undefined); so 1 ticket is infinitely better than no ticket.

Similarly, I think of the 2nd ticket as the most cost-effective way to double your odds. Diminishing returns after that…

Maybe I’m saying the same thing as you?

/if this was /r/trees, there’d be a [7] in here somewhere…
