Lottery fallacy exposed in Royal Havana draw analysis
American Agriculturist argues most lottery vendors are bogus and analyzes the Royal Havana Lottery. It calculates 30,000 tickets at 40 dollars each, total 1.2 million paid, 400 thousand prizes, 800 thousand to operators, leaving buyers with slim chances. It estimates one in sixty nine for a $200 prize and one in seven hundred for over $500, urging readers to avoid such schemes.
