Odds of winning the lottery
Did you know that on most Florida roads, once a gopher tortoise has entered a roadway he has a 20% chance of being struck by a car. Thats a 1 in 5 chance? Compare that to the lottery chances of 1 in 300 million.




A tortoise traveling at approximately 17 feet per minute the odds are against them once they've entered the road.
Match that with a car traveling 35MPH (or 51 feet per second).
