I can relate to that, as our transpondian friends say.

But, if I won the lottery, that would require a miracle. Like many
people of my background, I have never bought a ticket, discourage
everyone from buying me one, and intend to continue in that line ....


If you do not buy a ticket, that means that your chances of winning
the big prize are *roughly* the same as if you do i.e. *aproximately*
zero.
