The probability of a given person acquiring a winning ticket in this manner versus purchasing one in any given lifetime is indistinguishable by any practical measure. Regarding the M10, wouldn't it be the cherry on top if the M10 had an M3/4/6 tiny clockwise shutter dial ? But otherwise, gosh, isn't the M10 pretty? For an MP or M3 owner, it stirs the imagination. -rei On 01/25/2017 07:43 PM, Aram wrote: > He means that even with your ticket, your odds are still almost zero.
