I get this comment a lot. Mainly from people who only played EuroMillions during the massive jackpots over the last couple of weeks.
It usually goes something along the lines of having more chance of being run over by a bus than winning the jackpot, or more chance of Elvis turning out to be your long lost brother - you know, that kind of thing!
But the thing is, 3 lucky people did share that vast EuroMillions jackpot. So what are the chances of that?! What are the chances of 3 people all picking the same winning numbers..? Those 3 winners don't care about the long odds, they don't care about the doom mongers and "told you so's". They are too busy celebrating what DID happen, along with all those who also won smaller life changing sums of money.
So ignore the doom merchants. Yes, it may never happen, but it does happen to hundreds of people all over the world every single week. I guarantee it won't happen to those people who don't play the lottery. If you buy a ticket or join a syndicate, at least it COULD happen to you too!
