You will be struck by lightning 5 times, be hit by falling space junk, meet someone famous for no reason, and turn a snakewood pen WITHOUT any cracks (ever) before you win this! 
So if you do win AND survive all that, then yes, you won't be turning any pens for awhile! :biggrin:

You DO realize that your odds of being attacked by a grizzly bear and a polar bear in the same day (about 1 chance in 1,500,000 in Alaska) are better than winning the Mega Millions (about 1 chance in 1,796,000).

On the other hand, the odds of winning WITHOUT buying a ticket are 0, zilch, nada, gooseegg in 650,000,000.
I went ahead a bought the ticket, too

Somebody's still going to win it and if you don't buy a ticket it won't be you.
So what if those are the chances? You pay a buck at Redbox to see a movie and be entertained for an hour and a half. I could spend that same buck on a ticket and be just as entertained imagining how I'd spend the money. Plus, if I do have the ticket, I have a chance, no matter how small of actually winning it. With Redbox, all I have is a movie that I'll forget to return and will end up costing me more money...

Besides, between kids, nephews and a niece we'd have 13 college tuitions to pay for. After that and filling up the gas tank on the truck, there would probably be enough left over for a sugar maple blank and a slimline kit.

3,600 seconds in an hour.
86,400 seconds in a day.
31,536,000 seconds in a year.
So at the current odds given by the lottery commission, (1 in 176 million, that's 1 in 176,000,000) in order to win, you have to guess the correct second during a 5.5 year period.

An Irishman prayed every night to win the lottery. After many years he got frustrated and bellowed out "why are ye ignorin me prayers father?"
from above a voice rang back "you have buy a ticket first."
you can't win if you don't play.
