Lotteries frequently have secondary prizes. I have never bought a lottery ticket, but once I won $50 with a lottery ticket that someone else bought for me (which I did not ask for). If you include results like this as a win, your probability of under one in a billion of such a win may be overconfident.
Agreed.
