Does anyone have a theory why they want buyers to have such a lottery win ?
If you were the manufacturer and your costs were returned in 14 days of running each unit, why do you want the hassle of selling and shipping, why not just run them yourself?
Because manufacturing something new costs money, they need pre order money to build the stock.
That's still not a satisfying answer, they do have the sources for R+D, basically made the alchemists stone, and not enough money to build it by themselves, so they need to sell the secret of turning lead to gold to the masses, and with that process disabling their advantage and profit, as if these will be out difficulty will be on the moon of course. They couldn't find a private investor in bloody China, or build some, and triple their investment and rotate that profit back. Please somebody smarter than me enlighten on the subject.
