The Lottery and being an entrepreneur

[Patrick Martinez]

I just had an interesting debate/argument with a friend. He buys lotto tickets and says he is an entrepreneur. I said that I wasn't sure you could do both because hoping to win the Lotto is pure luck and that being/living as an entrepreneur means making your own way with hard work and action. He said you can work hard AND play the Lotto for fun because you never know if you will get lucky.

We agreed to disagree.

Playing the lottery is not a business venture, it's a tax on those who are bad at math.
