What specifically are the odds of the originally discussed low-probability events? And isn't 0.00000000034% a low enough probability to count? Did you know that's the chance of a single ticket winning Powerball?

(OOC: the odds of winning the Powerball are 1 in 292,201,338 or 2.922 x 10^8. While I'm not great at doing statistics I think that the phone number problem that originated the discussion comes in somewhere around 1 x 10^20, which is 12 orders of magnitude more improbable. I think the number at which they say stuff is really impossible starts around 10^25 or so)
Do you have a gambling problem that you need help with?
