Who Wins The Lottery?
"Being born? Well, it's like winning the cosmic lottery with a ticket you didn't even buy!"
The exact probability of you being born, considering all the speciďŹc events and chains of ancestry leading up to you, is virtually incalculable. But Dr. Ali Binazir attempted a rough estimate, suggesting that the odds of you existing are about 1 in 10^2,685,000 (that's a 1 followed by 2,685,000 zeroes) – an unimaginably small number.

The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot in North America are about 1 in 292 million. So, when you feel down on luck, remember: that you've already beaten odds far more staggering than any lottery. Winning the genetic jackpot, your existence, makes Powerball odds seem like child's play!
