What are your odds?
Have you ever thought of how likely you would be to win the lottery? Or perhaps how lucky you are to exist? Studies have shown that you are roughly 1 in 10^268500 as an individual based on the chances of fertility likely hood of your parents meeting etc . And you have a 1 in 176million + chance of winning the lottery (dependent on which and how many entries)

Do you know any Emma's or Jacob's? Maybe you can tell them that their name just isn't unique at all as in 2021 every girl had a 1 in 115 chance and every boy a 1 in 222 chance of being named such. Celebrating a birthday soon? well just know that whoever's birthday it is has a 6.7% chance of dying more than any other day (a percentage increase if young or has a birthday on the weekend). Or perhaps you know a lefthanded person, if so tell them to be careful because they have a 1 in 4.4 million chance of dying due to using a righthanded tool incorrectly (mostly firearms or hand tools).

And just in case you haven't ruined your connections to others enough you can tell that bright minded kid that wants to be an astronaut when they grow up that of the 18,300 people who initially applied to NASA only 10 made the cut for training.
Oh and back to the lottery ticket in case you though yourself lucky just know that you have more chances of dying in a plane crash or getting struck by lightning than winning those millions.
