Granddad: These dummies just ain't using their brains, boy!! How hard is it to get these fools to think? Is that too much to ask? Huey: What is it, Granddad? Granddad: These dummies runnin' around screaming about reparations for slavery. I tell ya, it don't make no sense. Huey: Intersting... You don't think they're deserved? Granddad: Deserved ain't got nothing to do with it. It ain't never gonna happen. What are the odds of white folks ever giving us reparations? Huey: Slim, but what are the odds of you ever winning that lotter you've played every week for the last two decades? Granddad: You know, boy... I don't recall ever asking you to think. Huey: How thoughtless of me.
Assuming it’s a standard type lottery in which to win you need to pick the correct 6 numbers out of 49 possible, then the probability of winning at least once in a two-decade span, if you buy one ticket a week, is about .00007437, or one chance in 13,446.
