The lottery is a predictable event. Someone will always win, and at specific times.

This was a totally different type of indecent - the man had no knowledge of where his daughter was, and was told to call a place in China (the man lived in the US), at a very specific restaurant, and ask for his daughter.

Not only do you have the odds of calling a specific restaurant - 1 in 1,000,000, but the odds of his daughter being at this specific restaurant, at this specific time. Do you know how much higher those odds are?

It's about as likely as you giving the coordinates to an astronomer to look for 10th planet thousands of AU away, describing the atmospheric composition, and being 100% correct on all accounts. Big difference between that and winning the lotto.

 

Slight correction, the lottery isn't predictable, somebody doesn't always win at a specific time. Something like the local Powerball just goes on and on until somebody wins. The pot grows as more people play and the odds of winning are millions to one. Sooner or later somebody wins, but mathematically it's ridiculously unlikely that a person can win. What's funny, is they always show the winner, and the winner always claims it's god. Unlikely but fortunate things are always attributed to god by those that believe in him.
