The Lame Investment
What are the odds?
If you rather sink your time and cash into lottery picks, good luck, you will need it. Consider the chance of each of these events happening:
- Drawing a pair in poker (4 to 3)
- Getting married (3 in 4)
- Cohabiting before marriage (9 in 20)
- Having quadruplets (1 in 900 000)
- Life on earth being destroyed by a meteorite over 50-year period (1 200 000)
- Being killed by a lightning bolt over 1-year period (1 in 3 400 000)
- Winning a lottery (single winner) (1 in 54 000 000)
