[Leica] Leica M10

[John McMaster]

If you have no ticket then there is no chance of winning the lottery, buying a single ticket gives you a greater chance....

Forgive me, Aram, for I am no mathematician, but I cannot understand how your friend can justify "very slightly". If I buy a ticket, the odds are 1 in 1 gazillion, which must (mathematically) be _infinitely_ better than zero in 1 gazillion. 

What I have misunderstood?

You know, Gerry, as a math teacher friend of mine says, your odds of winning the lottery increase very slightly if you actually buy a ticket.

this one has gone a step further for some reason.
