With 6 degrees of seperation you're only 6 away from anyone on the planet theoretically - or something like that. As for you personally knowing someone, it would depend on whether your group of acquantances was representative of the lottery playing public, I would think.
My Dad knew someone who won the pools once - it ruined their life.
Actually, thinking about it, I had a friend whose wife won a share of the lottery. It was the first ever rollover I think, and they thought they'd won loads, but there were 120 or so winners of that one. Still got a nice wedge I seem to remember, but not the oodles anticipated.
