sorry i don’t really know this odds! thanks for sharing though it is not believable!
Thanks for dropping by Juler.
As for the odds, Statistics is a college level math class and I started losing interest at the 5th grade level. (That’s a totally different story.)
So I’ll take the work of the mathematicians for what it is worth. I picked out some that beg the question of – Why would anyone bother to figure that out?
I find it particularly funny that we have better odds of dying in our sleep from burning pajamas than we do winning the jackpot of the big lottery in the USA.
Thanks much,
Anah
