Probability being on SSI makes you a millionaire: 0%
Probability playing the lottery makes you a millionaire: Very close to 0%.
Probability being on SSI makes you poorer: 0%
Probability playing the lottery makes you poorer: Very close to 100%.
What's the probability that someone on SSI will be a millionaire before they die?
What's the probability that someone will become a millionaire by playing the lottery?
