You can get insurance to cover many things like this. If there's a 1% chance of the jackpot being hit, then insurance would make money if they charged 2% of the jackpot. And this is worthwhile for Yotta because it's a fixed cost -- they'll never have to pay out ten million dollars.

It's worthwhile for the insurance company because they have many of these bets. So, on average they make money. The few losses they have are masked by the many wins. Yotta, on the other hand, has few bets, so the impact of a single loss is far more harmful.

that's how I learned to wipe as a kid

You know what they say: "wipe what you know".

A grown adult acts like they have no fucking clue what McDonalds has on the menu... This is the most likely scenario for my homicide defense.

I don't understand this. There are a few things you can do to not waste people's time:

  1. Look at the menu while you're in line.

  2. "I'm not quite ready, you can go ahead of me."

Problem solved!
