Everyone who buys a ticket believes they have a chance of winning, though in reality they do not.

What I mean is to say, it is a more honest/accurate statement that "you have zero chance of winning when you buy a lottery ticket" is more true than claiming they have a chance, (even if it is literally true) due to how our mind biases work.

The chance of winning is very small but it’s certainly not zero.

But you have non-zero chance of winning the lottery. How can it be "honest/accurate" to say you have zero chance?
