What Do Ashely Madison and the Lottery Have in Common? About the Same Odds of Winning

Gizmodo spent some time looking through all of the Ashley Madison data and discovered that your chances of talking to a real woman were as good, or worse than, winning the lottery.
Here's some of the data Gizmodo found:
Only 1,492 of the women in the database had ever checked their messages on the site. That's compared with more than 20 million men.
Only 2,409 of the women had ever used the site's chat function, versus more than 11 million men.
Only 9,700 women had ever responded to a message from another person on the site, versus almost 6 million men. (This number was greater than the number of women who checked messages because it's possible to answer messages in bulk when you first visit the site, without ever opening your inbox.)
It's possible that most of the women signed up but never did anything.
The site's parent company, Avid Life Media, did not immediately return a request for comment. Big surprise.
