Even if you knew the prize could range from a small amount such as $100 or hitting the jackpot. Now, if you took a similar approach and knew there was a 1 in 50 chance that every time you went for a walk in Providence, or decided to hop on your bike you could be hit by a vehicle, would you take the chance? That certainly seems like a worse fate than winning the lottery, but according to 13 years of data obtained by the [Providence Streets Coalition]( those are the odds for pedestrians and cyclists in Providence. [Providence Skyline] PROVIDENCE, RI -- 3/3/2019 Photo taken from the Point Street Bridge looks toward the skyline of Providence.
