Here’s how to think about what a long life 94 years is. Rose Marie, the singer, comedian and actress probably best known for her role as a comedy writer on the Dick Van Dyke Show, died recently at the age of 94. She started her career as a child in vaudeville as a singer. She sang for three U.S. Presidents, the first of whom was Calvin Coolidge.
Between the two of them tonight’s Mega Million drawing and tomorrow’s Powerball will total at least $801 million. If you’re wondering what you’ll do if you should happen to win both, you probably don’t have to concern yourself. The odds of two events happening is calculated by multiplying together the odds of wining each of them. So, the odds of winning Mega Millions tonight and Powerball tomorrow night are roughly one in 85,800,000,000,000,000. That’s one in 85.8 quadrillion to one against.
If I should win both, I will still jump on my bed.
