Factorial!

Alternate title: Why you're probably not going to win the lottery today. Or any day. (Naturally, Lady Luck might still smile on you and if she does, please, don't forget about me.)



And by "don't forget about me", I mean "international wire transfer". Just so we're clear.

FWIW: If instead of playing the daily lottery for 20 years, you had put $2 a day into a savings account paying 4% interest compounded annually, you would have $22K today, to spend on a cool toy for your kid.
Or an iPhone.
