[quote:Anonymous Coward 18860547:MV8yMDY0NzM4XzM0NzM5MTMzXzE1QTVCOUY5] [quote:amywood71605:MV8yMDY0NzM4X0M0QTY5RUU4] Normally, not into that kind of stuff. And, I have horrible luck - never win anything. But, they had a raffle at work (they do it every few months), and one person's name was drawn out of like 100 - and I won. Not much - $50.00, but like I said, I never win anything. So, I used that to buy one ticket, the rest I'll add to our savings. =) Wish me luck! haha [/quote] To put it in perspective (LESS LIKELIEST) Jackpot 1 in 175,223,510.00 ODDS of dying in a plane crash 1 in 90,000,000 (3 times more likely than winning Jackpot) $1,000,000 1 in 5,153,632.65 + $10,000 1 in 648,975.96 ODDs of death from being struck by lightning 1 in 134,000 ODDS of suffering death from a Tsunami (Coastal Dwellers) 1 in 50,000 ODDS of dying in cataclysmic storm 1 in 29,000 $100 1 in 19,087.53 + $100 1 in 12,244.83 ODDS of being Struck by Lighting in your lifetime 1 in 10,000 $7 1 in 706.43 + ODDS of Death from a fall 1 in 368 $4 1 in 110.81 $4 1 in 55.41 ODDS of being killed in a car accident 1 in 50 (WHO stats) ODDS of dying from cancer 1 in 7 ODDS of dying from Heart disease 1 in 6 (MOST LIKELIEST) [/quote]
