Would you buy million lotto tickets at $1 each if your odds of converting that million to 10 million were one-in-million?

No, i don't do the lottery, I don't like the lottery and will never buy a ticket...

No. I'm not into the lotto. Besides, I don't think I'd ever have that much money.

Then the odds of winning are more then in my favor, it's a definite. If I had a million dollars, yes, i would like to see my money grow by 10 fold.

thats funny. that is an easy way to lose a million. plus it would take forever checking the tickets for a winner. i buy five tickets every once in a while, then i check out the pile. i usually win a couple dollars. LOL.

No. Even assuming you only have 1 million number combinations (ie your million tickets have a 100% chance to win) there is no guarantee that no one else has the winning combination. You could put your million down and then find a million others with the same combination and only win 10 dollars. Hence loosing 999,990 dollars.
