Lottery Quote by Erman Misirlisoy
““Your chances of winning the jackpot in the UK lottery, in which you must correctly guess 6 random numbers between 1 and 49, are around 1 in 14 million. In other words, if you play the lottery then take a flight, you are unfortunately more likely to die in the plane than win the lottery.””
