How about the guy who bet .50 cents on a Pick 6 and won $500,000.
That can happen...wouldn’t happen to me, though, because I’ve never won anything but a horrible statuette at a raffle that I bid on only because I wanted to give them a little contribution. And the “donor” was there so I couldn’t immediately ditch it.
But it’s true that a tiny bid can turn out very well, and the family that I was with marched up to the window and put down a couple of dollars, as they always did. We didn’t win anything but it was fun and it gave you a horse to root for.
