"one in a million" happens several times per second, in todays CPUs :) Fun small experiment. Pick a random number between 1 and 15000000 (odds for winning the lottery in my country). Loop until you pick it again (i know it's pseudorandom and cylic; but the period seems big enough for the experiment). Watch how freaking fast it happens (sub-second), and how many iterations it took (dozens of millions).
