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.


Sorry you are wrong with your assumptions there.

If you are silly enough NOT to buy a ticket. You will NOT win.

If you are wise enough to buy a ticket, your chances are 14 Million to 1
that you will WILL win, BUT, there is a chance.

Kindest regards

Mike
