And a guy can play slots and win a new car.
Doesn't change the odds being overwhelmingly against you in the long run.

Oh the odds are for sure against you nobody is arguing that, but still always nice when you buy a $2 or $5 card and win a nice amount.

Sure, but notice that people never post about all the times they bought and lost money...those memories fade away quickly.

Prizes are generally bigger the more expensive the card is.
