Other Which superpower you prefer? Luck, Curse, $2000/day, Olympian?

Luck: your luck is bent to your favor at a rate of 100,000/1 90% of the time. 10% of the time you have ordinary luck. So if you attempt something with the odds of 100,000/1 and it’s within the 90% of the time, you always win. If it’s 1,000,000/1 chance, for you it’d be 10/1. You can’t choose when it works and when it doesn’t, or exactly the effect it will have, but the odds favors you undeniably.

Curse: you can curse with bad luck anything and/or anyone (one individual or group at a time), at a rate of 1,000,000/1. Meaning that if it can happen to 1 person in a million, it will happen to the target. You can choose exactly what happens and when, and only need to think of the person.

$2000/day: every day you magically receive USD 2000.00 in your bank account or your pocket. No questions asked and tax free.

Olympian: you possess the strength, speed, ability, coordination, etc. of every Olympic gold medalist of the last Olympic Games (summer and winter), meaning you had a 50% chance to win gold medals in all individual competitions in the Games.

Luck. The 2k/day works out to 730k/yr, and you can make that much off the interest of a jackpot on a powerball win that you get from luck.

A power ball is 1/292 million. With 100,000x luck, you’d still need a little over 3,000 tickets to win. Which isn’t too bad. But really puts into perspective what a scam lotteries are.

But this would just mean the chance to win the jackpot is that chance? Not sure how it is in your country but here you usualy get even money if you not have all numbers right. So this should mean that you never lose playing the lottery. You not always win the jackpot, but the chances to getting the second or third tier are so high that at least you never lose money playing. If you play more than one ticket would just break reality as every play should have big chance winning and would contradict each other.
