In the span of 9 years you had approx. 940 lotto tickets. Chance of winning the lottery is approx. 1/14,000,000. And since you did 940 tries your chance of winning is approx. 1/14900. Which is 0.0067%. Yeah no

Correct me if I did the math wrong

Actually:if the chances of winning are 1:14,000,000 the chance of him winning the lotto with the next ticket he buys is still 1:14'000'000.

How many studies?

This feels like a rehashing of the ol' '67% of statistics are made up on the spot' line..

Studies have also shown that people are less likely to believe something if it starts with "The following is not true"

Why wouldn't I be more likely to believe something that has been studied scientifically and has evidence? Seems obvious.unless your lying about the study's
