The Born Loser by Art & Chip Sansom Brutus: Oh, no! Brutus: This is terrible news about the lottery that I play every week! Gladys: What happened? Brutus: They're changing the odds for winning the jackpot from one in 175, 233, 510 to one in 292, 201, 338! Gladys: I assume this means you won't be playing the lottery anymore! Brutus: Well, let's not get carried away and make any hasty decisions like that... Brutus: After all, it's not like I was ever going to win with the old odds either!
With the lower odds you might win a dollar or two, which would give you hope and sucker you into playing again.
