It’s a pretty exciting story to hear that someone from the middle of nowhere spent $20.00 on a lottery ticket only to hit it huge and win hundreds of millions of dollars! We all sit back and wonder, why aren’t I the one who now has millions to spend, invest, or just blow on a huge vacation house and cars. Well don’t worry you are not alone and the chances of that one person hitting it big is 1 in 175 million! Yes 175 million. Those aren’t the best odds so don’t feel bad when you’re still living on your 9 to 5 working 40+ hours a week just to feed the kids and pay for an oil change. Here are 14 things that you have a better chance at winning that might just make you feel a little better about not being filthy rich from doing nothing but stopping at your local gas station. Trust me I’m in the same boat…
I don’t care, I’m playing anyway!
Your chance of winning the lottery – Those aren’t the best odds.
You are way more likely to be injured by a chainsaw
Die in an asteroid apocalypse
Be murdered. That’s not good at all.
Catch Tuberculosis
Be legally put to death
Go to the ER for a pogo stick related injury
Be bitten or crushed by a reptile
Be killed by a Pit Bull
Die in the bathtub
If you’re left-handed, die from a right-handed product
Killed by a vending machine
Die after falling off a ladder
You are however more likely to win the lottery than die on a fairground accident or by a falling coconut! That’s a plus.
But you will be more likely to win than reach the ripe old age of 116
