Tonight from the Coors Field scoreboard:

The Coors Field scoreboard reads as follows: Odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are approximately 1 in 29.2 million. Here’s how that stacks up against other unlikely events: •Being struck by lightning: 1 in 22 million. •Winning an Olympic gold medal: 1 in 662,000. •Creating a prefect March Madness bracket: 1 in 1.6 billion. •Becoming a movie star: 1 in 1.5 million. •Being injured by a vending machine: 1 in 10,000.

The fact you have better odds of winning the lottery than creating a perfect march madness bracket illustrates how hard it is.

I came close in 1992 then missed one of the final four I’d rather win the powerball though

I did not realize the odds were (relatively) low in terms of falling victim to a vending machine.

It could include the odds of the Rockies winning a World Series but that might be too far fetched.

I think the Rockies odds of having a winning season are between “struck by lightning” and “winning an Olympic gold medal”.
