5 Things That Are More Likely To Happen Than Winning Tonight’s Mega Millions Jackpot!
The Mega Millions jackpot is outrageous, and the next drawing is tonight. At a whopping $1.35 billion, if/when someone wins tonight, it would be the second-largest jackpot in Mega Millions history! If that person is me, not only will you not hear my voice on the radio Monday morning, I will be on a plane, drink in hand, first-class to Tahiti. Bye! I'm doing it Jeff Bezos, style baby!
However, for the sake of this article, let me be a Debbie-downer, let me burst the little bubble that is currently lingering over all of our heads. There are a number of things more likely to happen to any one of us than actually winning this billion-dollar jackpot. I mean statistically, there is a 1 in 292 million chance of winning the lottery.
5 THINGS THAT ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAPPEN THAN WINNING THE LOTTERY:
1. getting struck by lightning-the chances are 1 in 1 million
2. being killed by a falling vending machine-the odds for that are 1 in 112 million
3. becoming the President of the United States-the chances of that happening are 1 in 32 million
4. winning an Olympic gold medal-the odds are 1 in 662,000. Come to think of it that may be my mission this year?
5. having your identity stolen-roughly 4.5% of Americans become victims of identity theft each year
