Quote

"The odds of hitting the Lotto 6/49 jackpot by plunking down a toonie and picking all six numbers are one in 13.98 million.

To put that in perspective, math gurus say those odds are roughly equal to your chance of dying within 15 minutes of buying your lottery ticket - or flipping a coin and getting 24 tails in a row.

You are also somewhere between 14 and 50 times more likely to get struck by lightning, depending on who's doing the calculations, they say." - Macleans.ca
