4 things I hate about you

Day one, WSOP 2008 Main Event, during ESPN's telecast I witness a man lose with quad Aces to a royal flush to be eliminated from the event. The odds of such an event occurring is an astounding 2,705,513,196 (2.7 billion) to 1, and this got me thinking of what event(s) is rarer.
  • Injury from fireworks: 19,556 to 1
  • Killed by lightning: 2,320,000 to 1
  • Becoming president of the USA: 10,000,000 to 1
the only one i could find was:
  • of a meteor landing on your house: 182,138,880,000,000 (182,138 Billion) to 1
When you think about it, that was one unlucky guy
