A new look at lottery odds

[Shibby]

I was watching something and it said you are 3 times more likely to die on the way to buy a ticket than you are at winning the lottery. I can't really find any facts to back this up, but I thought it was an intersting statement.

lol

its probably something simple like the stats for a car accident fatality's vs. lottery winnings in powerball

My Statistics professor told us the other day that you are more likely to get attacked by a shark while driving your car than to win the powerball. :hmmm:

Haha - my Business Statistics professor told me that I was more likely to win the powerball than get an American born Statistics professor :P...

BTW - I'm NOT being discriminatory here - just stating an obvious issue on my campus :D....

That is crazy. If people knew this info. they would still think they had a shot at winning especially when the Powerball comes around. great info.
