The lattory is a ‘Stupid Person Tax.’ Meaning that stupid people throw their money at it because they buy into the feeling versus the logic behind it. “The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.9. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.” source
You had better odds of you, a sperm cell, fertilizing your mother’s egg, than you do currently of winning the Powerball jackpot.
How much sperm is in semen? A typical sperm count may range from 15 million to more than 200 million per milliliter of semen
Let that info sink in for a moment.

I’ve also heard the “stupid tax” or “dumb tax” as what you pay when learning or doing something new. There will be times that you look or feel like an idiot, but we’ve all been there, don’t let it stop you. Learn from your mistakes and persevere. You’re never too old to keep learning - knowledge, skills, compassion, empathy, shame, regret, success, failure. Life’s a trip, appreciate it for all its aspects and keep at it.
