Oprah Winfrey winning the 2024 election, Ryan Reynolds being the next James Bond, New York Jets winning the Super Bowl and Bill Gates' next girlfriend is Kim Kardashian. Yep, there’s more chance those four things happen than you winning the Super Bowl. You can bet on all of those events, and combining them all in a parlay still has small odds of winning the Mega Millions.
The odds of winning the Mega Millions is 1 in 302.6 million, the odds of all the above happening is 1 in 233.7 million. To put that into context, the chance of a number hitting twice in a row in roulette 1 in 1,444.

The odds on Oprah Winfrey winning the 2024 election currently sit at 1 in 150, which is some way behind the betting favorite, Donald Trump. Ryan Reynolds' odds of being the next James Bond are 200/1, with sports betting sites favoring more realistic options such as Tom Hardy and Henry Cavill. New York Jets winning the Super Bowl is a long-shot with only Houston Texans having longer odds in the betting market. Jets Super Bowl odds currently sit at 150/1.
Finally, there’s one sports betting site taking bets on Bill Gates' next partner, and Kim Kardashian is apparently a 50/1 chance.
Winning the Mega Millions isn’t just hitting a jackpot, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime piece of luck that many don’t ever get a piece of. Even the most outlandish event on the betting market doesn’t come even slightly close to the odds of your numbers coming up. I mean, when the Jets have a 2.017 million times better chance to win the Super Bowl than you have to do anything, you know the odds are way out there.
