    You can't win if you don't play. Could get it right on the first go!

      Better off just playing Powerball. Order of 1 in 109

      Put it this way: you could spend $1B on energy costs testing random numbers and still have practically 0% chance of hitting the right number.

          I don't usually fall for humor on HN, but well played.

      Yeah, I also have https://privatekeys.pw/bitcoin/random https://privatekeys.pw/bitcoin/random. as my homepage. Every day I reload it a couple of times... it's like playing a [very shitty] lottery every day.

        i think if there's a hit, the site owner would take it and just show you another zero
