In the United States or in California alone, how many people become millionaires anually as a result of winning the lottery? Obviously, I can extrapolate based on the number of drawings, but I’d love it if there was a citable reference for an exact number.
Just to be clear here: I’m asking for the sake of numeric comparisons with other extremely rare events, not because I plan on winning anytime soon or want to get evauate the lottery’s potential as a long term investment. Also, I’m looking for an exact number or an approximation based on verifiable data.
