What are the odds?

I've seen a lot of comments from people who have never won a Woman's Day sweepstakes, even though they have been entering for years (including me.) If you look at the May winners list you will see that Darcie Paparigian of Chicago won twice. She won an IPAD stand and shaving cream. Pretty amazing. Wish I had her luck. I'm not sure how long I'll continue with WD sweeps. Kind of discouraging when you see someone win twice and you can't win once.

I always have computer issues when entering their sweeps, so I stopped a long time ago.

We had a woman here in Las Vegas win a linked slot, where multiple casinos have machines that link to 1 or more HUGE payouts, TWICE. The top millions prize. They were a year apart, but what are the odds of winning it once, much less twice??? :crazytongue: :laughing:

This is priceless:

"The odds of this has been calculated at one in eighteen septillion and luck like this could only come once every quadrillion years."

I forget the number - 4,000 or 40,000? hands on average for a royal flush, but I got them back to back on the same machine then again on another machine shortly after - I won on BINGO that night too :crazytongue: :laughing:

I remember seeing a show about a woman winning the mega lotto and then winning it again 2 years later!
