Quote:And that is exactly why the lottery should be reconsidered. The statistic bear out that more tickets bought do not correlate to more chances as they are independent events. One number selected has just as much chance as any other.


Regarding football, think about a scenario where you and I are drafted to play QB. Are the team's chances now double that one of us will become a star QB? Probably not. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty confident that I won't ever be an NFL QB.


What matters is the quality of the player, not the quantity you select.
 

A team that has two blue-chip QB prospects has a better chance of having a great QB, than a team that only has one blue-chip QB prospect. Now, im sure we agree that there's the possibility that Team A could strike out twice, while Team B could hit a home run, but the odds were still in Team A's favor.
