Heres the Math on the IRS computers/hard drives crashing in the same month. Do you smell coverup? The odds of winning the Florida lottery are 1 in 22,957,480. The odds of winning the Powerball is 1 in 175,223,510. The odds of winning Mega Millions is 1 in 258,890,850. The odds of a disk failing in any given month are roughly one in 36. The odds of two different drives failing in the same month are roughly one in 36 squared, or 1 in about 1,300. The odds of three drives failing in the same month is 36 cubed or 1 in 46,656. The odds of seven different drives failing in the same month (like what happened at the IRS when they received a letter asking about emails targeting conservative and pro Israeli groups) is 37 to the 7th power = 1 in 78,664,164,096. (thats over 78 Billion) n other words, the odds are greater that you will win the Florida Lottery 342 times than having those seven IRS hard drives crashing in the same month.
