This isn't so much an erratum as an omission. The analysis is fine so far as it goes, but it leaves out that if you lose you are out the money you paid, but if you win you only keep about 60% of the prize money since 40% goes to federal and state income taxes. That lowers the odds of winning by another 40% from the analysis in your hack #41 and makes lotteries a real fraud. |
