There are some pretty interesting stories of lottery winners this week. There’s a statistician who bucked the odds to win a lottery jackpot and a war vet who finally won a big jackpot after 40 years of play.

War Vet Wins $628820 Jersey Cash 5 Jackpot
Most will agree that many of our war veterans don’t receive the recognition they deserve; it’s almost like many lottery players who have been playing for a long time without a significant win .

Statistician Wins $100,000 Lotto Jackpot
There is very little chance of winning the lottery. Odds of winning have been calculated at 1 in several millions, hundred millions even depending on the game. These odds are even posted in lottery websites. No one is more familiar with odds of winning than statisticians. That is why it is highly unusual for statisticians to play the lottery. Having said all that, the odds of a statistician winning the lottery must be infinitely smaller indeed!
