Should you live dangerously?

[murray t turtle]

If trading options is too "dangerous" for you, there is always mutual funds or term deposits.

"BATON ROUGE - Raising Cane's founder Todd Graves reportedly bought 50,000 Mega Million's lottery tickets, one on behalf of every Cane's employee, and is planning on divvying up the money between them if the $790 million jackpot hits.

Raising Cane's said each crew member could win thousands if any of the tickets have the lucky numbers.

“As soon as we heard how big this jackpot prize is, we couldn’t miss out on the chance to win the Mega Millions jackpot and share it with our Crew who always stand together,” said Todd Graves, Founder of Raising Cane’s. “None of what we do at Cane’s would be possible without our Crew, which is why we are always looking for ways to bring them a little extra fun, and if we’re lucky, a surprise on Wednesday morning.”

That's a fun story. Heard it on the news this morning.

probably, it's good for marketing and worker motivation ; I've never heard of Raising Canes restaurant. According to this website below, their sale was $1.7 B for last year sale. They must have sold a lot of chicken. it seems like the guy still double downs for the Friday draw.
When I read the story, I thought of Steve Cohen or Citadel (they would do something similar for their employees).

it seems senior citizens spent their social security paycheck more on lottery tickets.
Though per capita, Massachusetts spent more money on lottery tickets than any other states (since 2017)

I think we are living a life where risk of losing or failure is always there. We can even tell when our lives will end, so I don’t believe that there is any harm in taking risks and living dangerously.
