I'm a teacher and a maths teacher took an assembly about not relying on the lottery to make you rich ... basically the odds are that if the Lottery were going when Adam & Eve were said to be created (3500 years BC) and they had a lucky dip on a wednesday and saturday they would need to be waiting another 800 years for their first 'win' after having invested about 5.5 million in tickets ........ The odds of winning are 13,983,815 to 1 (Lotto) - about the same as finding three fit, 21 yo, brazilian women on holiday wanting to fuck you senseless
