Would you play a game where it cost you nothing to play, if you win you get a dollar, the odds are 1 to 16 million in your favor, but if you lost, you'd have to pay 7 million dollars? That's the California Lottery, from the Lottery's point of view. If you could play as often as you like, would you? What if you could only play 100 times a day, so if you lost, you'd be bankrupt and couldn't play more to get the money back?
