Title: Who would buy into a lottery with no info
Post by: a10101 on June 01, 2013, 03:29 pm
I keep seeing vendors start lotteries with no information about odds of winning. So, assuming you actually trust the vendor to award the prize, you don't know how many other people are entering, so you don't know your odds of winning. Seems like a lose lose situation for the buyer, but a win win for the vendor.

Vendors - if you are starting a lottery, make it clear how many people will be entering. Don't pray on buyers who don't understand math. It's not nice.
