I would be incredibly surprised, as I do not play the lottery. I'd probably start by getting a lawyer to handle it.
Your odds of finding the winning ticket on the sidewalk about about the same as if you bought a ticket. I'm not sure if that changes the surprise level.
I guess you're kind of right, in that they're both essentially 0. But the odds of winning the lottery are still ...millions? of times higher to win by buying one than finding a winning ticket on the street.
