My classmate posted this What can I say to her in responding to her post?

I found Jerry and Marge Selbee's story interesting. It is cool how they used simple math to crack the lottery and win millions. Their tactic shows how powerful understanding probabilities can be. It also made me think about whether lotteries should better protect against people exploiting loopholes like this.

You could respond with something like this:

"Absolutely! Jerry and Marge's story is a fascinating example of how math can turn into real-life opportunities. It's impressive to see how they applied their knowledge to something like the lottery. Your point about protecting against loopholes raises an interesting debate. Should the lottery be more regulated to ensure fairness, or does that take away from the excitement of the game? I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on that!"
