Problem with this article is that it ironically forgets logic. The one in a quadrillion claim is only true if all events are independent. If there is a correlation between them, then the computation of odds go out the window.
When somebody buys a Powerball Lottery Ticket they have a one in 292,000,000 chance of winning. If they buy two Lottery Tickets, they have a two in 292,000,000 chance of winning.
The actual odds are each Ticket has a 292,000,000 chance of winning, no matter how many you buy.
Some People think that if you by two Tickets, you have a one in 146,000,000 chance of winning. Using that Logic, you buy three Tickets and those odds become a one in 73,000,000 chance of winning. It goes on from there.
It just doesn’t work out that way in reality, much like Joementia winning the November Election.
