    the distribution is different though, if you buy a powerball ticket you have the same odds as everyone else who bought one assuming the numbers are equally distributed and truly random

    the difference between living in Biden’s suburban neighborhood in Delaware vs west Philly or Baltimore is huge

      Sure, but nowhere is the chance of winning the lottery greater than the chance of getting murdered. Even Singapore, which has the lowest homicide rate, is around 1 in 1,000,000.

      I suppose if you classified getting a playback prize on a scratch off as a lottery win, but I doubt most people count that.
