“People play the lottery all the time unaware of how mind-bogglingly difficult it is to win. It seems like they take a different approach to probabilities. Their rationale must be, “Well, I can either win it or not win it, so my odds of winning are 50/50.”
“I'll admit that the idea of being adored for nothing but my face and my body has had an occasional appeal, in the way winning the lottery does. The difference is that I have a much better chance of winning the lottery.”
“I figure you have the same chance of winning the lottery whether you play or not.”
“Getting an inch of snow is like winning 10 cents in the lottery.”
“Find the game where you can win, and then commit your life to playing it; and play to win.”
“You can never know the odds. If you don't play, you'll never win”
