Comparing the lottery (which has a fixed set of parameters) to a sport isn't the same thing, is it? I mean, my odds of hitting a homerun off a major league pitcher is close to nil, but for someone like M. Cabrera, the odds are much higher. Bowling has some variables that make the odds different for each bowler - lane conditions, weather, bowler release, ball, pins, pit area, etc and some of those could be rigged or not exactly legal. (Please note that I am in no way trying to justify He Who Shall Remain Nameless. Just trying to discuss stats or odds.)
