A lot of people (without financial troubles) dismiss Lottery players as fools, because “the odds don’t make sense”.
They don’t understand that the person buying that ticket is likely feeling severe stress about money, and is basically buying a period of time during which they can hope it all changes. It’s respite from the pressure.
Your idea is brilliant, and I’m thrilled to see the YC backing, strong traction etc. Great job.
How much of a challenge has dealing with gambling regulations, on top of all the regular financial regulations, been? Or has that not been an issue because of the ‘no lose’ status?
