    Read the story.
    He picked the winners of 8 races in a row, not one horse in one race, there is NO WAY a person could pick one horse in one race for 2 mill. the odds would NEVER get that high. 200/1 yes, 2,000,000/1 Nope. Never happen. If you saw a horse going off at astronomical odds, you would put a buck on it, gradually more people would, and it would not end up being 2,000,000/1 anymore, maybe 100/1 AT MOST.

    Dumb blonde finds a Genie in a bottle, he grants her three wishes.

    #1 - she wants to win the lottery.
    So the lottery comes and goes, she doesn't win.

    #2 - she still wants to win the lottery.
    So the lottery comes and goes again, she still doesn't win.

    #3 - she STILL wants to win the lottery - tells the Genie he's
    not a very good Genie and she won't win....
    Genie leans over to her and says:
    'Help me out here - Buy a friggin lottery ticket'.

    They didn't, but most folks think when you bet one dollar in horse racing you are betting on one horse in one race, few think about the DD, Trifecta or any other combination of multi-race wager.

    Sorry for the confusion.
