Statistician's Wish

It didn't look like a magic lamp you see on the cartoons, but a genie still popped out, as well as a large chocolate spinning wheel thing.

"Ah, welcome my new Master, have a wish?"

They placed a hand on the wheel.

"What's the wheel for?"

"Oh, well, every wish you make, I have to spin the wheel, see if you get it or death."

I thought this over.

"So, like, 3 is the mode of number people get?"

They shrugged.

"OK then, I wish for a trillion dollars."

They spun.

Despite understanding chance theory, I was never actually lucky.
