:’D

Hey, if anyone figures that out, they’ll keep it to themselves.

I was looking for the Powerball website one time and found a page written by a Minnesota math prof; he stated the odds of winning the PB, and then noted that, according to the Feds’ stats, the odds of being *involved* in a fatal auto crash during a three mile round trip to get the lottery ticket was twice as great as the odds of winning.

My response to that is, ya buy two or more tickets. Duh.

Wasn’t there a math professor from Texas(?) who had won the lottery a couple of times? Obviously she wasn’t telling.
