Five more CEOs win the lottery

The odds of winning the lottery are quite high, but the following CEOs defied the odds in that the date of their being granted stock options was always at the low point in the stock price:
Frank Lin, Trident Microsystems, and Sam Brooks, Renal Care Group, beat 1 in a million odds.
Ken Levy, KLA-Tencor, beat 1 in 20 million odds.
E.Y. Snowden, Boston Communications Group, beat 1 in 5 million odds.
Maybe John Deiebel, Meade Instruments, really was a lottery winner as his odds were only 1 in 800,000.
