In Florida:
There is a better chance you'll get struck by lightning than winning the lotto.

Florida: the lightning capital of the world (it's true!)
Rwanda, Africa is the lightning capitol of the world, receiving nearly 2.5 times the amount of lightning as Florida
(Source: Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission Satellite, 2002)
Florida is the Lightning Capital of the U.S.
Central Florida, from Tampa to Titusville is "Lightning Alley" in the U.S.!
I saw some footage on discovery of Rwanda, & it was sick! They said lightning hit that one small area more times in that one storm then Florida gets hit in a year!

$2500 or so, a few other people hit it at the same time or it would have been more. One number away from a few million!
I don't really think of it that way. I used the money to pay for CNA (Certified Netware Administrator) training and I have never once served as a Netware admin. Ah well it got my foot in the door so to speak and look at me! I'm unemployed and in college! WHOOO HOOO!

Not to question that perfect logic.. but how can you afford 5 mil tickets unless you're already rich?
