Why can't i win the lottery?

Question

it seems like you have to be mexican to win the lottery in california! is that a racist comment or is it the truth?

Answer 1

I'd say it's a little bit of both.

It's a risk/gain calculation at the heart of all of this.  My WAG (Wild-Assed-Guess) is that Mexican population is buying more lottery tickets than the other ethnic races in CA.  Thus, their chance of winning the  ONE IN FOURTEEN MILLION lottery is greater.  For evey one lottery a Caucasian buys, a Mexican buys five.  Or there's five lottery playing Mexican to every one Caucasian lottery play

Or at least... that's my opine :)

Answer 2

it is a recist comment i am white and have won not a d**n thing

Answer 3

It has nothing to do with race... It has to do with odds and the odds are like 1 in a billion.

Answer 4

No, you must be the chosen one. Lotta, the gambling god will pick you based on good deeds throughout your life. I have won twice already.

Answer 5

Answer 6

The odds are horrible.  However, the huge jackpots are alluring.  Several years ago, I read about a couple men in FL who spent something like a million dollars to play every combination in a game with a large jackpot.  They didn't win.  Must have missed some.
