( CNN ) -- Sure , you could get lucky like Decatur , Georgia , resident Gregory Jarrett , and find a winning Powerball lottery ticket from the January 15 drawing on the floor of your dirty room and pocket a cool $ 1 million . And you 've probably daydreamed about winning the Powerball lottery and retiring to someplace where they 've never even heard the words Polar Vortex . After all , with an estimated $ 60 million on the line and no winner after Wednesday 's drawing , those who hope to strike it rich are still lining up at convenience stores in the hopes of scoring the lucky ticket . But let 's get real : Your chances of actually playing the right combination of numbers and striking it rich through the lottery are slim . How slim ? Try one in 1 in 175,223,510 . That means you have a greater chance of being killed by a shark , according to National Geographic . Those odds are 1 in 3,700,000 . And , as long as we 're being morbid , you also have a 1 in 134,906 chance of being struck by lightning , say the folks over at the National Safety Council . On the up side , you also have a 1 in 88,000 shot of dating a supermodel . Go ahead and hedge your bets , but you have a greater chance of winning your office 's Oscar pool . Of course , those odds depend on whether your office couch potato co-worker enters this year . And the United States has much greater odds of winning Olympic gold medals . Go Team USA ! But who knows ? You could get lucky like last week 's winner . The ticket , purchased at Dixon Landing Chevron in Milpitas , California , netted some undisclosed winner the $ 425 million jackpot . So play away . The next drawing is Saturday .
Winning the Powerball jackpot of $ 60 million is a long shot . Comment: But if you 're the unknown winner of the $ 425 million prize , odds do n't matter .
