[BNM] [OT] Lottery puzzle

[Alessandro De Maria]

Alex,

there are some websites online that allow you to create an account and
play the number for you every week. Eventually you get notified via
sms.

My dream is to set up one of those account with a direct debit of 20£
per month and wait. One day.. returning home from a busy and stressful
day at work, I would get my sms:

Dear sir, you have won 65 million pounds! Enjoy life!

I would strongly advice you to spend those money on the lottery if you
feel like. What the others do not mention is that you have more
chances to become rich by playing the lottery than drinking those 52
pounds in beer :P

(truth is that, after 52£ of beer... who cares whether you are rich or not? :P)
