Nobody is going to get lucky and find a solution within one second on a CPU miner, it's a 1 in 750000000000 chance.

Did you calculate that?
750000000000 chance every 10 minutes * say 1,000,000 CPU miners = 1 / 750000 per 10 minutes, and 1 in 14.27 per year. I don't think their are 1,000,000 CPU miners, but I suspect their are at least a few thousand of them for the lul's.
