Everyone has their own way of playing the lottery, and although some have their own "winning theories," it's actually just the luck of the draw. In fact, you have a much higher chance of getting struck by lightning than winning the Mega Millions. Here are more very unlikely scenarios that have a better chance of happening than hitting the jackpot:
· Getting cancer in your lifetime: 1 in 2
· Being selected on The Price Is Right: 1 in 36
· Being audited by the IRS: 1 in 175
