# Context I keep having this weird, persistent idea about the Universe we live in as part of a Multiverse. There are multiple theories. What I want to test is entirely in the grey-to-black area because of many reasons: - the expected value is negative - might feed into a harmful betting addiction - the hypothesis is unfalsifiable, as there's no way to test consistently that this # Plan - Set a reminder to buy a lottery ticket on Monday and Friday, which should allow for some leeway in purchasing the tickets, as the lottery draws are on Thursday and Sunday. - Buy the minimum amount of tickets possible. - Picking the numbers: Using this [Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1jacsFxTzSlG7UQSQMbCUaxl15G6Dzn3W?usp=sharing) to generate three sets of numbers. - (TODO) I aim to receive an email with the numbers at the start of the day and use those as my picks for the next draw. - (TODO) Automate as much as possible from the ticket selection and buying. As barebones as possible. - Until this is done, use Todoist notifications to buy tickets. - (TODO) Automate as much as possible for the ticket observation and notification. As barebones as possible. - Until this is done, use the Todoist notification to check tickets. # Costs > 3 sets of numbers in a ticket cost about 21lei. > 2 draws a week means about 42lei. > 51 weeks a year means about 2200lei, which is *less then 500€*. Based on my expected value calculations, every play in this bet has a negative value and should not be pursued. # Pause conditions - Negative monthly personal cashflow # Stop conditions - The official start of the bet is *2023-10-30*. - The initial end date is *2024-12-31* as of *2023-10-30*. - Winning with 5 out of 6 extends the bet by 1 year. - Winning with 6 out of 6 extends the bet by 2 years. - Winning with 6 out of 6 twice in a row stops the bet immediately and puts proceedings into further research and Multiverse Bets. - No other conditions shall be added or modified, except condition 2 based on conditions 3, 4 or 5. # Winnings 2024-02-29 - 30 lei
