When Texas first got the lotto they said the odds were 1 in 19 million. When my co workers would talk about how they thought they could win, I calculated 19 million inches was about 300 miles. I said just mark off Hwy 59 in inches between Houston and Texarkana and just pick the right inch. That's your chance of winning.

Took the words right out of my mouth.
