Statistics

Since Hodgkin's Lymphoma accounts for less than 1% of all cancer cases per year and 1 in 38,375,818 Americans will have Hodgkin's lymphoma this year, I decided I won the cancer lottery.

The chance of me winning the Mega Millions Lottery is one in 175,711,536. However the chance of me getting 5 numbers and winning $250,000 is only 3,904,700. So, in the big scheme of things, I am so going to be able to pay off my student loans via the lottery!

If I win the big mega millions I have a mental list of people who I will help. First and foremost is this poor guy, Joe. Joe is a client of the firm who has lost everything, including his waterfront house. Joe, if I win the jackpot, I am buying you back your house.

I also have a mental list of who I won't help, including but not limited to certain annoying people and HOFSTRA LAW SCHOOL!

Why do I care so much about Joe? I don't know. He did show up at my wedding and cried, and that really touched me. I just adore him. I wish he was my Dad.

So I bought a ticket last night, with 4 quarters from the bottom of my bag. I got one number. Screw you NJ Lotto and screw you Yolanda Vega!
