This is usually about gambling. Assuming the diamonds cave even exists, how long would the tunnel need to be to quantify the average spend on lottery tickets or in a casino that yield the diamonds’ worth in winnings? I’m guessing about how much can be excavated with the diamonds’ value. Twice. With modern equipment.
Since those lottery systems are about making money for the ones organizing them. The chance of getting more money out of it than you put in is extremely small. And the bigger the jackpot, the slimmer the chance.
Because those lottery organizers are definitely not going to lose money on it.
At least in Germany, and many other countries, the organizer is the state (and only the state, other lotteries are outlawed), and the profits are used for public benefit.
With gambling you usually know exactly what your long term odds are: negative. The dream is to win bigger than you invested at some point and to cash out in the green. But the returns of winning the jackpot on your first ticket are much better than winning on your 1000th ticket, so it makes no sense to keep digging any deeper.
