Two large lotteries in my area: Lotto Max: 1:33,294,800 Lotto 649 1:14,000,000

(excluding the smaller pool draws of 5/6, 4/6, etc)

One ticket as the width of a human hair (60-80 µm).

The winning numbers are a hole the width of a human hair.

The odds of winning 1:14m is hitting another hair head on in a line 14,000,000×0.00007 m=980 meters wide. (~840 meters to ~1,120 meters)

The odds of winning 1:33.3m is hitting another hair head on in a line 33,294,800×0.00007 m=2,330.636 meters wide. (1,998 meters to ~2,664 meters)

If I buy a ticket, it's so I can daydream for myself.
