Lottery Statistics (No its not 4%)
#1
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerball#Payout_and_Odds

Matches Prize Current probability of winning[3]
Zero numbers, plus Powerball $ 3 1:61.74
1 number, plus Powerball $ 4 1:123.48
2 numbers, plus Powerball $ 7 1:787.17
3 numbers, no Powerball $ 7 1:359.06
3 numbers, plus Powerball $ 100 1:13,644.24
4 numbers, no Powerball $ 100 1:19,030.12
4 numbers, plus Powerball $ 10,000 1:723,144.64
All 5 numbers, no Powerball $ 200,000 1:5,138,133.00
All 5 numbers, plus Powerball Jackpot 1 in 195,249,054.00

To put these odds in perspective, in the US in 2008 there were 1.03 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled[6]. A person living one mile from a retailer selling Powerball tickets is four times as likely to die in an accident traveling to and from that store (two miles) than winning the Powerball jackpot on a $1 play.

FOUR TIMES AS LIKELY TO DIE DRIVING THERE THAN WINNING

So please guys, play powerball and get that guild house. It will really happen, honest.
