Thank you. An article about how a lottery winner picked the right numbers is about as instructional and repeatable.

You can distinguish skill from luck by whether you can lose on purpose.

You cannot lose the lottery on purpose, but I’m sure this guy could have failed on purpose.

Sure, luck is involved, but the existence of several successful serial entrepreneurs is a heavy counterpoint.

you can lose roulette on purpose

therefore, roulette is based on skill

luck may be involved, but the existence of several successful roulette players is a heavy counterpoint

... and additionally no successful roulette players exist (if we exclude the casino), or - if they exist - they are more rare than unicorns.
