A bit of a side commentary because of I am tired of the "Lottery Comparison" in regards to odds.
Warren Platts, The odds of an individual winning the lottery has no relevance to the fact that winnings occur so frequently.
"What?!", you say?
Factor in how many tickets are bought/sold.
THOSE are the determining odds that someone is going to hit it lucky.
Which are very very high compared to the individuals odds.
So saying that the odds are 1/28,000,000 of winning the lottery as a comparison of odds is nonsense. Because the odds of SOMEONE winning are about 1/32.
Or even higher.
It goes up to as high as 1/6.
Which is nothing like the odds we are discussing in this thread.
Stop manipulating information.
