That means you are nearly 36 times more likely to die in a plane or space accident, than win the UK lottery jackpot

That's not particularly accurate TBH, the lottery figure is as of last week, the plane/space thing is 2005/6 statistics, but close enough.

The plane one or the lottery one?

The plane one was calculated from the deaths by aviation accident in 2005/6, and the amount of people flying that year.

The other one was taken from the a website with a .co.uk address

Here's one for you.

If you have £1 million in the bank, the intrest you would earn each month would be £4k......

So if you earn £4k a month........ Your a million aire

You don't just have to do that to earn £4k per month

I'm sure that there are lots of other job out there where you can.
