BUT, in a world where everything is run by Hashem, the odds that something will happen are un-knowable to us, bc we don’t know what Hashem wants to happen. Anyone who says they know what the odds are, has to preface it by saying, “In a world run by teva…”. As far as we can see, it should be that everyone’s odds of winning the lottery are 50-50,

You’re still wrong. Even if you don’t know (or can’t know) the odds, that *still* doesn’t make all probabilities equal.

If you *truly* believe that, then I suggest you plan your entire retirement on the basis of lottery winnings. If you *truly* believe you have a 50% chance of winning the jackpot every time out, then there really shouldn’t be any need for you to put aside any money for later (or even really to hold a job for longer than a few months).
