>>1315507>Let's take your example again but change your reward for rolling 6 $100 for a $5 deposit and tell me if it isn't tempting to play.Yes that would be tempting to play, in fact it would be stupid not to play.
You understand that you can calculate if you should play or not right?
$100 * 1/6 = $16.66
Which means you should play because $16.66 > $5.
It means that if you play the game over and over again you will start to see a net profit.
But with the lottery the odds aren't in your favor like that.
I don't know the exact chances and prizes and stuff but it would be something like this:
$10 lottery ticket | $10,000,000 prize | 1 in 2,000,000 chance of winning
$10,000,000 * 1/2,000,000 = $5
Which means you shouldn't play, since $5 < $10.
