That depends on the probabilities involved. If you send me $5/week, I might decide to give you $10 million one day. I don't have $10 million and I don't think I would want to give it away if I got that kind of money, but it could happen. Are you interested? Do you think anyone would be?

If you were regulated like a state lottery, people would be interested - they already are.

I don't think most people even consider the odds when playing the lottery.

The odds still matter. If no one ever won my lottery, I think people would eventually stop playing.
