Original Toronto Star caption: Lottery fever: The lure of winning big -- really big -- in tonight's Lotto 6/49 draw had these Eaton Centre shoppers lining up for tickets yesterday. But the chances that you'll come up lucky to the tune of $9.6 million; says a U of T math professor; are the same as your chances of dropping dead before breakfast tomorrow. In other words; the odds are one in almost 14 million.
