I think it should be interesting to you that this article caused you an emotional reaction. Your language is emotionally charged and it's made you miss the point that @cudgy has given you
Nothing wrong woth adding some spice but yeah bit emotionally charged in any case I would like to point out that both the article and parent miss the point, while it is interesting to model who wins the lottery, the real problem is that 99% of the people are not even playing or trying to :)
