    When did I say there weren’t any winners? I said people think there’s a chance that they might win personally. And you can state the gamblers fallacy any way you like, the fact that there are winners in a lottery has nothing to with the chances of winning personally. Bad at math, bad at logic, too emotional, call it anything you like. Any hope is a result of these flaws, not the cause.

        Honestly, chances might be extremely low. But if all it takes is a couple of bucks sometimes to maybe win even 1000, I’d take it.
