You pay thousands of dollars a year to protect you from the small
chance of having an aviation accident and doing exactly $1 Million
worth of damage to someone else's property, but you're not willing to
drop $2 on a chance to win $200 Million cash?

I know you're being facetious, but I must point out:

A. I'm being forced by my bank to insure the plane.


And I am being forced by my wife to buy the stupid lottery ticket!


B. The odds of a plane mishap are gazillions of times higher than of
winning the lottery.

But the odds of said mishap costing exactly the amount of your insurance
coverage are probably quite a bit worse...


And yes, I was, and continue to be quite facetious.


Now, if I could buy $200 Million in insurance for $1 and a dream, that
would be a winning bet!
