A game “almost no one can win.” Sounds like a sure-fire hit.

The odds o&f fluking into the top prize of $250,000 on Wingo were 1 in 2,200 and it lasted six episodes. Just throwing that out there.

I wouldn't read too much into that. I'm interpreting that as just some gimmicky jargon meant to make the show sound more dramatic.

It hasn't happened quite yet, but Disney and 21st Century Fox (the parent company to the various Fox assets) have agreed to a deal in which Disney acquires the 20th Century Fox production studios, but the Murdochs keeps the Fox Broadcasting Company:
