In fact, you are more likely to be struck by lightning or become a billionaire than to win the Powerball jackpot. Nonetheless, many people play the lottery, spending $50 or $100 a week on tickets. These people are often deceived by their own irrational gambling behavior, believing that they have a chance to beat the odds and change their lives for the better.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you play a state-run lottery or a private one, the chances of winning are about the same. Regardless of the game, you need to understand the odds before you buy your ticket. The Wonder of the Day helps you do just that.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to know how unlikely it is that you\u2019ll hit the lottery, use this simple calculator.
