Mega Millions jackpot? You had better odds of having twins, getting hit by a meteorite

There were few things with longer odds than winning the Mega Millions lottery. 

The chance you had of collecting that $1.6 billion jackpot is 1 in 303 million. 

Of course, if you aren't the holder of the winning ticket from South Carolina, your chances are now zero.

The odds of filling out a perfect March Madness bracket is 1 in 9.2 quintillion. That’s 9,200,000,000,000.
