    I recommend you never buy a lottery ticket - because clearly you don’t understand how luck works.

    If a satellite were to smash through the roof of my office and land harmlessly on the floor, I reckon I’d be quite startled and might bump my knee on the bottom of the desk…

    There’s definitely a risk of injury, and you’re far more likely to be injured than killed.

    I’d probably also have to pay a couple hundred thousand dollars to repair my home, since I don’t think insurance covers falling satellites and I’m certainly not going to try and sue a company on the other side of the world when they probably didn’t do anything against the law anyway. Bruised knee would be the least of my problems.

      The lottery chances are independent of the other event I believe so why not go for it

        With my luck, I’d buy the winning lottery ticket and then get hit by a satellite the following day.

      Nah, if a satellite crashes through my roof, I’m definitely gonna be a first time lottery ticket buyer that day.
