Is it weird that i'm actually very slightly terrified by them activating this in one month?

Don't worry, I'm sure you wouldn't even have time to realize whats happening.

I'm excited about them starting it up. In all seriousness, this is the ****, that makes superheroes.

which just happens to be about the same as the odds of winning the lottery...and someone wins the lottery every time

Someone wins because a massive amount of tickets are purchased by poor saps trying to win a million. If 50 million tickets are sold then it's likely someone is going to hit. The correct analogy would be if only you were able to purchase a lottery ticket and the odds were 1 in 50 million.
