1 in 6    =    one in six    =    1/6    =    16.6666666% 

That, my friends, are our odds. The odds of winning anything at RUTRTW.  
The odds are spectacular - practically guaranteed even - if you consider the odds of other things in our lives. 

Like, for example, Ali Binazir suggests that the chances of *you* being here on planet earth is somewhere around 1 in 40,000,000,000,000,000.  [It's kinda a long story. He gets into details that blab on about 4 trillion sperm and a hundred thousand eggs but I think it has more to do with how your Homosapien great great great (etc) grandfather must have been some phenom of a mammoth hunter to perpetuate the genetic lineage that you my friend, are currently at the end of.  (No pressure - but don't eff it up)]. 

No matter, the point is poignant. Chances of winning at RUTRTW are better than your chances of actually being alive today!  That is totally something to celebrate!!! 

So "Cheers" to us all and to the super fluky what-are-the-chances odds that got us to where we are today.  Which actually, if you are lucky, might be in a line-up somewhere waiting for a winning RUTRTW :)
