It's worrying to think I've got more chance of being lamped by a falling satellite than I have of winning the lottery!

True Skippy, but that's got nothing to do with me increasing the wife's insurance policy[}:)]

The odds of it landing on you are not 3200/1. The odds quoted are 3200/1 that it'll land on ANYONE.
The actual odds of it landing on you are about 3200/1 that it'll land on anyone multiplied by the chances that you are that person. Assuming everyone has an equal chance of being landed on, that's 7000000000+/1
Or: 22400000000000/1
Or: 22 trillion, 400 billion to one
Relax, you're safe
