I used to think my sister-in-law was impervious to the law probability because she plays the slots.
Then one day she noticed there was a scratch ticket where you could put the losing tickets into a raffle being held at the local casino and win a prize but you had to be present at the drawing. Well, she looked in the jar a few days before the drawing and estimated there were only about 50 tickets in the jar so she bought 80 tickets and put the losers in the jar and got her mother to put 20 in... And her mother won a trip to Las Vegas worth around $2000.
Which is the rub because people who look for this kind of thing are people who are serious about gambling and often they lose it back some other way.
I think of the many WSOP winners who immediately lose the money playing craps.
