    When did I say there weren’t any winners? I said people think there’s a chance that they might win personally. And you can state the gamblers fallacy any way you like, the fact that there are winners in a lottery has nothing to with the chances of winning personally. Bad at math, bad at logic, too emotional, call it anything you like. Any hope is a result of these flaws, not the cause.
