Why I carry- the odds...

When Texas first got the lotto they said the odds were 1 in 19 million. When my co workers would talk about how they thought they could win, I calculated 19 million inches was about 300 miles. I said just mark off Hwy 59 in inches between Houston and Texarkana and just pick the right inch. That's your chance of winning.

Folks--it's not about the odds-----it's about the stakes (my family member or me), which I think OG was referring to.

Took the words right out of my mouth.
