"..like a woman not yet seen, but whose perfume gathers on the horizon like a storm cloud..."
(Fernan Dumont)
In just a little while, a mournful cry will rise across the land, as hundreds of millions of people's hopes are dashed, realizing that they have not won the lottery - again..
If you ever needed proof that we are an optimistic people, this should erase any doubt. Your odds of winning are stupidly, ridiculously miniscule.
And yet, as we learned when Mary told Lloyd in Dumber and Dumber that the odds against them 'getting together' were "more like a million to one", as long as the odds aren't zero, we have a chance.
Despite the odds, Lloyd grins and says, "A million to one? So you're telling me - I got a chance! Yeah!!".
Our odds of winning tonight's Powerball are 292 times worse than Lloyd's chances of boinking Mary, but that doesn't stop us from making sure our chances aren't zero, does it..
As long as you've got a ticket - you've got a chance!
