according to Wikipedea:
the number of random version 4 UUIDs which need to be generated in
order to have a 50% probability of at least one collision is 2.71
quintillion,
<calculation omitted>
This number is equivalent to generating 1 billion UUIDs per second for
about 85 years, and a file containing this many UUIDs, at 16 bytes per
UUID, would be about 45 exabytes, many times larger than the largest
databases currently in existence, which are on the order of hundreds of
petabytes.[17][18]
so... why couldn't I have gotten this duplication on a power ball ($720
million) or mega millions ($1.7 Billion) ticket :p
