Yeah it was starting to rain as I walked to the gas station by my house and I thought to myself, it’d have a better chance of getting hit by lightining walking there and again on the way back. ;D

Odds of being hit in your lifetime (80years) are 1 in 10000

In a year it’s 1 in 775000, much better than lotto odds even if you buy a ticket twice a week.

But every lucky bastard who has won the lotto had one thing in common, they bought a ticket. Unless you can invent a new computer thing your odds of making that kind of scrach on your own aren’t any better than the lotto odds.

Targeting rich old ladies sounds like the best bet.

And that's why they say that lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math :-)

The only reliable way to win a lottery is by being an organizer.

I bought 2 tickets...I didn’t even hit 1 number.

I’ve always sucked at gambling.
