Let's face it - if you buy one line of numbers, your chances of winning the jackpot are almost one in 14 million.

Put this into context - half a million people die each year. So your chance of dying in any given week is more than 2,000 times higher than winning the lottery that week.

Considering how many jackpot winners collect their winnings, I'm surprised that there aren't more unclaimed tickets...
