CHANCE of a LIFETIME

What are the odds?
You will need 29 million lifetimes to win the 6/55 lottery.
You will need 1,138 lifetimes as a regular Filipino employee to be a billionaire from employment.
You will need 125 lifetimes to launch 1,000 startups to reach billionaire status because you are not Elon Musk.
May the odds be ever in your favor. :))
P.S.
You only need about 3 lifetimes totaling 195 years for a random bird to poop in your wide-opened mouth if you lie down on a field for 16 hours a day.
