You will most likely be struck by lightning before you win the lottery. The odds are in favor of lightning.
Odds of getting struck down by lightning. 1 in 1,000,000 Odds of winning the powerball. 1 in 292,000,000. So yeah about 291 million more chances of getting hit by a bolt of electricity
Can't say when the last time I bought a lottery ticket. Probably when I still worked. A bunch of us would throw money together when the pot got big, and buy a bunch of tickets. We never won much of anything except a few dollars which went into buying more tickets. I guess if you play, there is always that chance, but.....
