The latest Earth population estimate is 6,852,472,823.

The chances of picking all 5 numbers in the Powerball lottery are 1 in 195,249,054.

If there is one special someone for you in the world, then you are 35 times more likely to hit the Powerball than you are to find that special someone.

...have a nice day!

Millions of people find their "right one" every single year and have for tens of thousands of years.

I've known plenty of people who have happy relationships. I've never known anyone who hit the lotto.

Utterly specious analogy. I know you said it as a joke, but you have so many lonely, self-doubting people on this Forum, they may take it as the literal true and get even more down!

I've got to know.
I need time to pack and write "Thank You" notes for everyone who has supported me in my promotion to celestial bliss.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Don't give them more ammunition to convince themselves there aren't going to find anyone.
