Instead of wasting $500 in lotto buy RRS 500000 shares and keep in mind you won't get $500 back and forget about the shares for at least 5 years. If the company shares goes to $1 per share which is not hard at all. you take $500000 and go home.
One of the great example is bitcoin if you would have bought $1000 worth of bitcoins 7 years ago then you could have now $50 million. Bitcoin started with 5 cents per coin and people used to buy pizza by spending bitcoin lolllllllzzzz. Now they must be thinking I shouldn't have had pizza that time.
