1) There is no known way to succesfully predict
the next numbers in a lottery.

;) ! AS if/ then what?

2) There is no known reason to believe there is any
unknown way to successfully predict lottery numbers.

If it is "unknown", then let it be. Until at least you find
the answer also!

3) Buying a little share of a lottery ticket is one of the
prominent indicators of possible dickheadedness.

NO, it is NOT! IF it is the winning ticket?

It certainly isn't the winning ticket

I must stop you there, I SAID (please re-read above, saves me typing ya
know)!

at the time you buy your
piddly share of it. Suppose you're looking at two tickets, one
having a near-zero probability of winning $100 million and the
other having a near-zero probability of winning $1 million. You
find in the loose change in your pocket enough money to buy one
or the other. Which one would you buy? duh.

4) If you have a ticket and the right amount of dumb luck,
you will win.

I don't agree here, there are games (lotto) with varying odds,
you play the best odds going in, therefore there is a valid
choice - luck comes after!

Luck might come after damned near everything else, but it comes
immediately before and simultaneously with a win. You don't win
without it.

*Luck* is ALSO chance, if you don't TAKE a chance (in this case buy at
least one ticket) you can't win!

Luck has kin sod ALL to do with IT if you don't put your money where your
mouth is?
