According to Moonalice legend, the chances of being struck by lightning are 1 in 600,000, which is way higher than your chances of winning the Megabucks Lottery. How the tribe came up with this number is not clear to us, as there is no record of a Moonalice ever being hit by lightning. No tribe member has won the Megabucks either, which is the real bummer in this story. But as the junior senator for Illinois tells us, we can always hope!
By the way, we checked the NEWTON system at the Dept. of Energy website, and discovered that the probability of being hit by lightning TWICE is 1 in 360 billion. What a relief! Unfortunately, those odds only hold for people who don't fish, climb mountains or play golf during lightning storms. Note to self . . .
