Playing the lotery is a good analogy to the Schroedinger cat experiment. That is, as long as you don’t check the numbers
This is a gross misinterpretation of the Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment and how the lottery actually works. That said, this is genuinely a shower thought because it’s logic evaporates as quickly as you dry off and put your thinking pants on.
Well pardon me sir, my scientific background is entirely made of yt science videos for middle-schoolers!

How so?
Well you have both won and not won the lotery as long as you don’t check the results = measure the results of the experiment
Hm. I suppose you could see it like that philosophically.
I’d say it more like, you have not won yet until you check and see you’ve won, but I guess that train of thought works, as well.
Schrödinger was responsible for so much good work in science, but all we remember him for is his cruelty to animals. :(
