Default 1 in a Million chance?

Two brothers driving different cars hit each other head on and both die here in Michigan. I've never heard of this before and get this they lived together.

I seem to remember a story from last year about a mother who went out and ended up having a head on with one of her children...one or both of them died. I caan't remember the details though...that's really sad for the family.

If they lived in the same house, it is likely that there would be multiple opportunities to be driving towards each other, if one is leaving the area and one is coming. More chance than you think.

Yeah I guess but I'd hate to drive upon a wreck and go to checking I.D.'s and see that they're brothers in different cars that hit head-on on an old country road.

"Northstar Cash drawing with odds of about 170,000 to 1, Minnesota Lottery officials said.


On Sunday, Snouffer stuck with 11 and switched to 3-7-19-28 — and won again.


Lottery officials said such a sequence was so farfetched that the odds against it were "virtually incalculable.""


170,000 x 170,000 = 28,900,000,000 to 1.

I would have though "virtually incalculable" was harder but what do I know?
