The usual consequentialist case for charity to reduce risks of nuclear war or catastrophic global warming feedbacks does rely on tiny probabilities of donations making a difference. Likwise for voting and for many kinds of scientific and medical research charity.
Edit: not as tiny as in Lark's comment, although the numbers there are incredibly low.
That's a very different value of "tiny" than the one in Larks's comment.
