> But the chance still EXISTS! No matter how remote. I LOVE that! That, to me is exiting. As exciting as you can get sitting in a chair, anyway.

The mere existence of a minuscule probability that something will happen becomes either much more exciting or much less exciting, after a few classes in quantum physics.

> The EXISTENCE of remote probablities is why many people play Lotto. The more remote the probability gets, the more attractive the game. They think they're just playing for a bigger pot. I've seen people buy tickets with $100 bills and not get change.

I don't think the more remote probability directly makes the game more attractive. I think all it does is allow the lotto to offer a higher jackpot. People play because there's some chance of winning a million (5-10 million is a big jackpot in Canada, but it's paid in one tax-free lump sum), not because the chance is remote.
