Reporter said you have a better chance of being attacked by a shark AND being struck by lightning at the same time!

Since I live here in Florida I guess my odds of that are a bit higher so I bought 10 tickets. I hit 4 of the numbers but, darn it, none of them were on the same pick!

The “odds” should be based only on the number of people playing. Not on the number of tickets sold etc.

For example: of the 300 million people in the US - subtract the children under 18, the disabled elderly, those in jail, those in hospital, Mormons and Amish.

Must be about 100 million to 1. Doesn’t matter how many tickets each person buys. 1 person = 1.

JMHO
