lottery

This model doesn't take into account that fact that if you choose high numbers and win you are more likely to win more money than if you win with low numbers because everyone picks their birthdays, anniversaries, etc which are all low numbers. So you will most likely split your winnings with someone else when the low numbers hit, but win by yourself if the high numbers hit. It's all math, baby.

the comments on that article are truly breathtaking

Foolproof strat: buy 1 lotto ticket, if you lose then buy two tickets, if you lose again buy four and so on...

lotteries hate him!

Guy says he can predict lottery numbers with more likelyhood.

Hasn't won lottery.

Results oriented thinking much?

(Quavers are a type potato chip and to be fair to the guy, they are good.)

Steve: And uh, I know Mystic Meg is a bit of a nonsense, but people do take her seriously. On the cover of The Sun today: Mystic Meg Won Me 15 Million Quid.

Ricky: Wow!

Steve: Right, and you're thinking, that's not – that’s a pretty amazing claim, I know that Karl believes in Mystic Meg and all that sort of rubbish, you know. You're thinking, wow, here at last is proof that she has got powers, and you're wondering to yourself, well maybe she predicted the numbers specifically, you know that would be a hell of a --

Ricky: Just to - just to him..

Steve: Yeah, which is incredible, which is absolutely incredible.

Ricky: Yeah.

Steve: And so there's this guy, uh, "Lottery Mad Tom Nailer", he's a lorry driver, right, he won 15 million quid.

Ricky: Yeah.

Steve: He says, um, "I always read my horoscope in The Sun and follow the advice". Ah, basically, what Meg said was: "Keep a lottery ticket in a yellow mug, to add luck". So you're thinking, well Ok, he's kept his ticket in a yellow mug, that's still pretty extraordinary,
Ricky: Yeah.

Steve: Mm. "I didn't have a yellow mug," says Tom, "So I put it in the pages of my mapbook"... sorry, "I put the ticket in the pages of my map book, which is yellow”.

Ricky: Right. He's used the yellow, no, he's used the yellow!

Steve: Yeah, no, see I don't know much about how Mystic Meg works, I'm assuming maybe there's some kind of pseudo-science that she applies.

Ricky: Yeah.

Steve: I think if she'd said put it near anything yellow: fine.

Ricky: Yeah.

Steve: She said put it in a yellow mug, that's pretty specific,

Ricky: Yeah.

Steve: From that he's thought, “Well I'll ignore Meg's advice, I always do what she says .. if she says put it in a yellow mug, I’ll put it in –“

Ricky: She's had two sort of like, you know, um, uh, points of reference there: the descriptive, the yellowness of the object,

Steve: Yeah.

Ricky: And the object itself and that should one be a mug.

Steve: Yeah. Sure. Yeah.

Ricky: What's missing in the yellow book is the mugness.

Steve: The mugness! Is one of the intrinsic elements.

Ricky: It's got lots of bookness,

Steve: Yeah.

Ricky: But it wasn't the bookness that gave him the 15 million. So uh,

Steve: Exactly, exactly.

Ricky: I reckon, I reckon: Mystic Meg Won Me 7 and a Half Million.

Steve: Right.

Steve Laughs

Ricky: Would have been a more accurate --

CMI,

Pretty impressive, the dude figured out how to add additional rake to the tax on stupidity.

Independent events. If you get lucky and hit it doesnt mean a damn thing.

Where does luck factor into the equation?
