The odds of any one person winning the lottery may be several million to one and thus any one person winning it looks miraculous. But the chances of someone winning it approach 100%. Therefore a lottery win is not miraculous.

I never said it was a miracle. I did say it does not prove God. There was a case of a woman who kept winning millions of dollars on scratchers....that she bought at the same store. A miracle? No. Suspicious? Yes.

Turned out she found out how to tell winning tickets from losing tickets without having to scratch them off. She made a deal with the store clerk to let her examine the tickets and buy up all the winning ones.

Her "good fortune" turned out to be evidence that perhaps there was a way to cheat at scratchers.
