This book is about the lottery known as lotto, which has one of the longest odds for the big one.
Four main problems are solved.
- Learn principles of chance so you can be in the game but lose less
- Learn that there is no strategy but improve the frequency of small wins
- Use the object called 'spectrum' to compute combined chance of many blocks of numbers
- Teach those who erroneously think that the utility-to-risk ratio is too small in lotteries
