I don’t think it counts as “Pascalian” until it starts to scrape below the threshold of probabilities you can meaningfully assert about propositions. If we were basically assured of a bright astronomical future so long as person X doesn’t win the lottery, I wouldn’t say that worrying that X might win the lottery was a Pascalian risk.
