A Lotto Luck

As I assemble and evolve my career development plan, I'm inspired by many possibilities, including early retirement. With that in mind, I finally decided to answer "yes" to the people at the gas station when they ask if I want any lottery tickets. My scientific approach to it is "give me $1 on whichever one has the highest jackpot." I've played twice and the results have been amazing. The Mega Millions game selects 6 numbers between 1 and 99. So far I've matched exactly none. What are the odds of that? My days as a math major are far enough behind me not to care too much, but it gives me instinct to know that something "special" is happening to protect me from the spoils of wealth.
