E.g.: 0.01% times 0.01% = one ten-thousandth of one percent, i.e., one in a million.

BTW he should have had a qualified "land guy" tying up the boat and this never would have happened.

A Michigan man won $45,000 in a lottery game – but drowned with the ticket in his wallet before he was able to cash it.
Gregory Jarvis, 57, was at the Blue Water Inn in Caseville on Sept. 13 when he played the Club Keno add-on game “The Jack” — and hit the jackpot, WJRT of Flint reported.
“Very nice guy, he was here every day,” joint owner Dawn Talaski told the news station. “Somebody said someone just won ‘The Jack’ and he said, ‘Great,’ and someone asked him, ‘Was it you?’ and it was, so he was super excited.”
Talaski said Jarvis returned to the inn almost a week later and bought rounds of drinks, but had still not cashed his winning ticket because he didn’t have the proper documentation.

“Isn’t it ironic?”
Beat me to it. LOL.
ironic that the ticket survived but one time through the wash and that SS card is toast
*Lucky Stiff
The guy who cleans his pants. Wallet still there.
I replaced my out of date card
—
The Social Security card does not expire.
—
Out of date is not expiring. Mine was so old that it lacked the necessary Pillars and had to be replaced because it was out of date
I certainly would be very happy to win $45,000
UNLESS signed by the purchaser.
How long ago was that?
—
Just a month or two before the Big Panic I think.
Friend of mine changed names-—divorce. Took her over 3 weeks to get a ‘new’ card——
The card came with the exact same info——NOT CORRECT
Had to start over again & it took another 4 weeks to get new CORRECT card.
Well, that $45,000 will pay for one heck of a Funeral.
I think it would make a great gospel song, just change one line:
In the eyes of my Friend...
SOC SEC in Nevada—Reno-—would NOT accept anything but the original license...NO COPY.
Who wouldn't? But I consider a jackpot an amount of money that can keep you independently wealthy, at least for several years. $45,000k won't keep most people afloat for a year.
You need to go in to the office. They were really helpful to me, I was surprised.
What were the odds of winning 45K?
What were the odds of drowning while tying up the boat?
Now add them together.
Weird things happen!
The Arkansas representative had not arrived yet
Check your math. One hundredth of one percent is one ten-thousandth. One ten-thousandth times one ten-thousandth equals one hundred-millionth, not one millionth.
They had a cruel sense of humor.
Like the depressed guy leaving his dead end job only to be confronted with a street vendor selling ties.
The vendor’s sign said to brighten your day by buying a tie.
Joyously the man buys a tie, bounded up the steps back to where he works … and he hung himself with the tie.
Exactly right! Thank you!
