A few hours before the oversubscribed, wildly sought after Facebook shares are priced in the company’s public debut, Max Wolff, analyst at GreenCrest Capital, said buying in now would be like “buying a lottery ticket.”

“Anyone chasing any hot, big IPO is taking a significant risk; while it’s good for some people some of the time, when you buy a lottery ticket, it doesn’t always win,” Wolff said on CNBC’s “Worldwide Exchange.”
