The amount of time I spent watching this page is a nice reminder of why I have a rule to never buy lottery tickets.

Why not buy lottery tickets? The only thing smaller than the ridiculously small chance of winning is absolute zero, from never playing. Bad odds are still odds :)

If $DEITY wants me to win, the winning lottery ticket will be dropped by someone and it’ll blow into my car and get lodged onto the dashboard.

If you care that much about statistics you should buy them in the case where the expected value becomes positive every once and a while
