The internet is abuzz with talk about the lottery. Apparently there are big changes on the way.
 

In North Carolina, the lottery system is adding a “Million Blockbuster” which offers players more chances at winning a prize than any other game so far.

And for states that have the Powerball (Florida, look out its coming to you!), changes are afoot as well. The starting jackpot, which now begins at $15 million, will jump to $20 million. Plus Powerball is also adding four more white balls, eliminating three red Powerball numbers and adding an extra bonus game (I hope that means something to someone because I certainly don’t understand…Then again I’m from Florida so I’ve been Powerball-less my whole life.) These changes will affect the lotteries in Tennessee, New Hampshire, Arizona and any other state where Powerball exists.

There is all this brouhaha about the increasing chances to win, but let’s be honest, they’re referring to the chance to win any prize not the big bucks. This made me think about all the things on college campuses that are harder to achieve than winning the lottery. For your viewing pleasure, check out my list below:

• Getting straight A’s in your 8am Organic Chemistry class
• Maintaining a slim, trim figure, or becoming skinnier than before college started
• Rushing the field when your team hasn’t had a winning record since the Reagan administration
• Keeping that purity pledge
• Following each and every law to the letter, that means no underage drinking and no jay walking
• Sleeping with the head cheerleader (hmm, this one actually might not be so hard)
