Alice purchases a lottery ticket with odds of only 1/1 quadrillion to win. She discovers that she has the winning ticket. Upon going to collect her prize, she learns that this lottery company has a policy of hiring a sniper to follow around every ticket purchaser, and kill them if they ever discover that their ticket is not the winning one.
Should Alice infer via the anthropic principle that there were a huge number of people playing in this lottery?
