One can still live with such a chance. However, you cannot live for very long if your chances "improve" every 3 weeks. Today it is one in a million and by mid November it is 1/500,000. By early December it is far more likely than one in 250,000. It may in fact become 1/1000 when you consider unstopped flights arriving daily and the mass exposure each of those 1/million lotto winners generate using the mass transit system. But we all know this already.
