the odds
I've
been playing the Powerball twice a week for almost a year in an effort
to recoup the financial loss of divorce. I've taken a write-off on
the emotional loss. Not once have I matched even one number of the
Powerball lottery. Not one number! Not ever! The
odds of winning the lottery are 100 million to one. The odds of never
matching a number are probably 200 million to one. So if I'm lucky
enough never to match even one number, I have twice as much luck as I need
to win the lottery. |
