Man, you'd've thought there would've been some kinda Luka karma.

Have you seen the value of professional sports franchises and how much can be saved through drafting? It’s very possible for it to be of a similar sized windfall.

You’re comparing two different types of measurements…

They had a better chance of winning the draft lottery than winning a $7 prize in the Powerball lottery…. (Next time you’re thinking of buying a ticket).

So a randomly drawn number, where the prize is given to the holder of the ticket with the corresponding number is not a really a lottery because the odds are far different than some other lottery. Brilliant take.
