[BNM] [OT] Lottery puzzle

[James Cline]

I believe that the maths is simply 57/14000000 if you spend 57 all on one
draw compaired with 1/14000000 if you played over 57 draws.
It doesn't matter how many times you play because each draw the numbers will
be different so there is still only 1 in 14000000. Your chances of winning
do not increase.
