My wife is an astrologer. Last year, she saw in her horoscope that she would win a lot of money, so she started playing the lottery. Every week, she paid two euros, and every week she won... two euros. She soon decided to give up on the idea of getting rich.

That is, she realised that there was no chance of getting rich.
