Like with any lottery the odds of winning are highly against you in favor. Statistically speaking you roughly have a 1 and 15 million chance to win the California State Lottery and a 1 and 18 million chance for winning the California Super Lotto Jackpot. pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/gambl... I'll give you an idea of what these statistics mean, let's say you like Texas Hold 'Em Poker.
The odds of getting a Royal Flush are 1 in 649,740. Which is over 10 times more probable to winning the lottery. forumserver.twoplustwo.com/25/probabilit... Another example is flying.
Statistics show that you roughly have a 1 in 10 million chance to die in a plane crash, assuming that you are flying with the more safe airlines. Which is still a greater chance than winning the lottery. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/planecrash/risky.html
.I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
