What I've read is that one has to distribute the portfolio across a risk spectrum. A big % to very low risk / low yield instruments (say, bonds), a medium % to blue chip stocks, a smaller % to more risky stocks, etc.

So, following that logic with cypto or lottery tickets, a very small % could be put in anything that has a high risk high reward.

When you say bother you mean effort but in theory you could outsource your potfolio so there's not more work by following one strategy or another.

Thus... are lottery tickets a good thing to have in the portfolio?

I'm quite curious if there is an answer to this from a statistics or investing point of view.
