Is there any differences between these sentences? "I might win this lottery" - "I may win this lottery" Englishpage.com website says that "may" and "might" can express possibility in the future is it true? and in American English I heard that they say "may" when people want to express something. :-?

I'm one of the people who doesn't see much difference between "may" and "might" for future possibility.

JustAlilBit, I put your thread title into the Google Custom Search box at the top of the page and found dozens of threads on the same topic.

Read a few of those first.
