If you are into Bitcoin, you should be running a small lottery miner. WHY? They cost anywhere from $35 to $400. And most of them only cost $1-6 a month in electricity to operate. If you hit a Bitcoin block, you earn 3.125 BTC worth around $250,000+ today. You receive that straight to your Bitcoin wallet instantly, no questions asked. The chances of doing this are extremely low... but they are not ZERO. Your chances are only zero if you don't try. 20+ solo blocks where hit in the last year. With many of those on machines no more powerful than the one below. And unlike the actual state lottery, which is a one-and-done, where if you don't win, that's the end, these repeat the lottery chances every 10 minutes FOREVER (or as long as you run the machine). Plus, as a Bitcoiner and now miner, you support the network and have a great conversation starter. I see no reason why you shouldn't do this.
