Oh to be sure there are a huge number of massive risk factors. Pretty much every extreme economic event is on the table right now. WW3 and or US civil war are technically possible. At the same time, 3 people die, and the entire planet changes politically, economic forces change and there could be a great opportunity for the world.
Most outcomes are nowhere near those extremes, but they're all magnitudes more likely than winning power ball, and someone wins that every year.
