If you’re hoping to hit it big in the Mega Millions, you won’t like your odds.
The odds come out to just over 1 in 300,000,000 to hit the five numbers plus the Mega ball. For comparison, the odds of you finding a four-leaf clover are 1 in 10,000.
According to the CDC, the odds of you being struck by lightning on any given year are 1 in 500,000, barring seasonal and regional anomalies.
So, the odds of being struck by lightning on any given year are 600 times more likely than winning the Mega Millions jackpot.
