Four Time Lottery Winner is a Mystery

Post by Tombstone »

The odds that Joan Ginther would hit four Texas Lottery jackpots for a combined nearly $21 million are astronomical. Mathematicians say the chances are as slim as 1 in 18 septillion -- that's 18 and 24 zeros.

Just as unlikely? Getting to know one of the luckiest women in the world.

Frankly I didnt even know there was a septillion. 4 times...thats a little overwhelming. I find it odd that a person would keep playing after winning once.

That in and of itself is inflammatory, libelous and constitutes defamation of character. Nice going Spockers.
