No, what I mean is, for example in Real life, if you win like 10million, you are MADE.You won´t need to work for the rest of your life.If you win 100k, you can buy yourself some nice things and that´s it.
Which is why I would be disappointed if that happened to me.
That's exactly what I said, the difference exists, but it is psychologic.
There's no difference in average gain between 50% of winning 2 gold and twice 50% of winning 1 gold. The variability is not the same, but that doesn't make any difference in mathematical expectancy.
In fact, it's a general tendency to be more attracted to risk when it's about winning something (you will prefer bigger lottery prizes) and more attracted to safety when it's something you lose (reason why you will prefer paying insurance companies a greater amount of money over time than what you would have to pay in case of disaster).
But all that is quite irrelevant as this lottery is made so that people lose money. No reason to buy tickets earlier, no reason now, except if you are feeling lucky, punk
