Eventually is a really long time. Mon will likely live forever, so the math will work out for him.

True!

But it doesn't take a mathematician to know a bad bet!

I self-identify as a Lottery winner and will be filing a suit against the Lottery for not recognizing that.

I think if you shot an arrow into the air on the beach blindfolded and tried to predict which grain of sand it would hit on the way down, you'd have better odds.

AN ironclad guarantee like that should be worth something. I’ll take two.

I keep saying that one day I’ll win the lottery too.

Will you buy me a ticket because I refuse too.

I just lost at something where I had a 1/250 shot of winning. Can't imagine hitting on a lottery...although years ago a distant in-law of mine did win $6M.

A fishing buddy won 8M. Three years later he was divorced, bankrupt, and living in a tiny one BR apartment. I don't know how he happened to lose so much in a short time, but winning seemed to be worse in the long run than losing.

That's what makes Mon’s offer so attractive.
