1:146,107,962 = Odds of matching all 5 numbers + the powerball in the Powerball lottery.
1:1 = Odds that Christopher Ewen matched all 5 + the powerball on June 25, 2005.

Statistically, he shouldn't have won. But he did. Statistics applied retroactively are useless for predicting the chances of events that already happened.

??? "...events that already happened."

Nice try but not everyone believes life "happened" in the manner you do. Thus, your comment is based on a rather shaky premise.

That said, continue . . .
