>> it's even horrible as a gambling outcome. >> reporter: say you took that same $500 and invested it in an index fund each year for 20 years, you'd end up with $24,000. she took home a $22 million bulk payment. if you win today's mega millions, you'll take home $20.6 million a year. >> the idea that for a dollar $5, $10 lottery ticket i can win $20 million, that's what you call a highly skewed outcome. it's very unlikely but if it happens, wow, it changes -- changes your life. >> the odds of winning are nearly 1076 million to 1, meaning you'd are to buy 176 million tickets to get every possible combination and be guaranteed a win. we tracked down two mathematicians to see if we could better those odds. they say your best bet is to make sure that if you win, you don't have to share. >> you would do well to get numbers most people think look unlucky because those are the ones few people will pick. >> there are things you should avoid, because many people don't avoid them so there are people who will choose numbers based on the pattern they make on the sheet where you fill in the numbers. it's a very bad idea to put money in those. >> reporter: if the mathematician were to buy a ticket, what number would he pick? >> i chose them at random. >> i are to say the best strategy is not to buy the lottery ticket. >> reporter: like millions of americans, she is not taking that advice. you have bought tickets? >> yes, i did wrt how many did you buy? . >> i'm embarrassed. i bought $25 worth. >> i didn't think $25 was that embarrassing considering some people are buying 500. >> maybe she feels that way because she already won $54 million. hey, if it works, go with it. they also say to pick numbers no one else picks. >> yes. a lot of people chose numbers based off birthdays, years. they say any number above 31, numbers above 31 are statistically less likely to be selected by larger groups of people. so, if you choose them you may not get the jackpot, or you might, but fewer people are going to choose them along with you. so a smaller prize could go to you and you won't have to share it. >> now i know the answer to the question, how do you know which numbers are that people don't pick? >> exactly. the numbers above 31 are statistically less likely to be chosen. >> what about the people who win, do they generally buy lots of tickets or one? >> it's all over the map. even those statistically -- okay if you buy more tickets in one lottery you could be statistically more likely to win, assuming you're not all picking the same number on those tickets. at the same time a lot of these lottery winners do tend to go bankrupt. nine out of ten lottery winners go bankrupt within the first five years of winning the lottery. the reason for that is you get all this publicity, you come out, all these people come out of the woodwork. we heard this as well people come out of the woodwork people want a handout. you try to be generous -- >> what percentage go bankrupt? >> nine out of ten. >> first thing you do is hire a lawyer. >> hire a lawyer and a financial adviser. garina did that and she said it works great. >> get all those ducks in a row before you publicly get the money. you can help us too. go buy your ticket. >> i know. want to turn to the latest on george zimmerman, the man who shot trayvon martin. this morning zimmerman's brother is going public to defend him. mark strassmann is in sanford, florida, where martin was killed last month. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. over the last few days george zimmerman's family and friends have begun to give his side of the story. they say he killed the unarmed teen abler because he had no choice. according to more reports, he also has a temper problem. in 2005 zimmerman was reportedly fired from his job at a party security guard for being too aggressive. the new york "daily news" says, usually was a cool guy but it was like jekle and hyde. when the dude snapped, he snapped. his family is coming to his defense. >> he prevented his firearm from being taken and used against him and that's called saving your life. >> reporter: robert zimmerman stuck up to piers morgan last night. he said he shot tray advisermartin purely in self-defense. >> george was out of breath. he was barely conscious. his last thing he remembers doing was moving his head from the concrete to the grass so if he was banged one more time, he wouldn't be wearing diapers for the rest of his life and being spoon fed by his brother. >> reporter: critics including trayvon martin's parents say this police tape is proof zimmerman is a liar. this is how he looked 40 minutes after killing martin. no obvious face or head injuries. >> does he have any injuries now? >> his nose is still broken. >> still broken? >> his nose is still broken, yeah. >> a month later it's still broken? >> his nose. i don't know about the back of his head. i mean it's still healing. it's not healed. >> reporter: martin was buried in miami. the funeral director who prepared his body was richard kurtz. >> we could see no physical signs like there was a scuffle. >> reporter: he said his chest had a gunshot wound but his bodies had no other injuries. no marks on the hand from the punches zimmerman claimed battered him. a special prosecutor is reviewing the evidence. george zimmerman remains a deeply divisive figure in this country and trayvon martin supporters will take to the streets again, rallying here in sanford tomorrow and in miami on sunday. charlie, erica? >> thanks. this is an election year and soaring gas prices have drivers looking for someone to blame. at the same time the white house is looking to score points for the president. >> senior white house correspondent bill plante has that story for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. you may have heard the president say there's not much he can do to control gas prices. nonetheless, he's been working hard to appear to be trying. on thursday he came to the rose garden to urge the senate to repeal $4 billion in tax subsidies for big oil companies, even though no one thinks that would actually lower prices at the pump. >> they can either vote to spend billions of dollars more in oil subsidies to keep us trapped in the past or they can vote to end these taxpayer subsidies that aren't needed to boost oil production. >> reporter: but moments after the president's plea -- >> the motion is not agreed to. >> reporter: the senate voted 5 1-47 against the bill with four democrats in the majority. >> somehow they thought doing this would set up some kind of political win for them. i mean i can't imagine anybody giving them any high-fives for not lowering gas prices. >> reporter: the national average price for gas is $3.93 a gallon, up 33 cents from a year ago. recent polls show the pain of the push is very much on the mind of voters. 77% said gas prices had put a moderate amount of strain on their family budgets. 68% disapprove of how the president is responding to gas prices but a majority also say the oil companies share a great deal of the blame. all this has raised concern in the white house. the president last week spent two days on the road showcasing his willingness to tap all possible energy sources, including solar, new domestic drilling and speeding up construction of the southern portion of the keystone pipeline. and this week the interior department announced it would begin studying possible drilling sites off the atlantic coast. for all this the white house remains on the defensive. >> there is no silver bullet, not a magic wand that somehow allows you to reduce the price at the pump. >> reporter: and here's something else they may be thinking about in the oval office. when gas prices go up in an election year, it's bad news for the man in the white house. they went up in 1980, '92, 2000 and a huge jump in 2008 and the incumbent or his party lost. look, that may be just a coincidence but gas prices are forecast to continue rying in the spring and summer and already over $4 a gallon in a lot of places. >> bill, thank you. with us now is marvin odum president of shell oil, one of five companies that would have been affected if the subdyes would have been cut. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> tell me whether you need these subsidies when you look at the financial profits of the major oil companies. >> yeah, there's probably a piece of data that would be helpful. if you look at the profits of the oil companies you have to consider the size of these companies. so, if you look at the unit profitability, if you will how much we make on a unit or dollar of revenue it's actually lower than the average of manufacturing across this country. so, i think while i don't mind the attention on energy because it's such an important topic, i think the discussion around taxes and taking tax break as way is the wrong discussion. >> i want to come to what the right discussion might be in a moment but other ceos of oil companies have said they would give up these subsidies if they were applied across the business frontier. is that your position? >> it is the thing that's important to us as a business and people competing within an industry is a level playing field. so, that's the discussion we'd like to have on the tax front. on the energy side what we'd like to talk about is what can we do to help this country and that really is becoming more efficient and producing more of our own resources. >> let's take a snapshot of where the oil situation is today and how it will affect the prices at the pump. what is the supply/demand situation? if, in fact, oil is going up per barrel the price per barrel what is the direct relationship between that and the price at the pump? and can anything be done to -- about that in the present environment? >> so you've identified the relationship. it is direct. the price of oil goes directly into the price of gas. it's the number one factor that determines the price that people pay every day at the pump. so back to the price of oil worldwide, it is a global system. we have to think about supply and demand on a global basis. the way we can address that is to cut back and produce as many resources as we can in this country. the economic benefits of that are more jobs in this country, better trade balance in this country, more secure supply of oil. and that's the biggest impact that we can have. there is no -- you hear it a lot. there's no immediate fix for the price of oil today. >> but at the same time we are looking at the future in which united states will be producing more energy resources than it ever has in its past, correct? >> i think that's where you should look at this as an opportunity for the country. we have a tremendous number of resources in this country with the natural gas we found across the nation new oil resources being found. we're talking about drilling offshore alaska. we could have an enormous impact on our own energy system. >> at the same time we're looking at a crisis for the united states in terms of our energy situation. we're looking at possible international damage from whatever iran might happen. it seems to me there ought to be dialogue between the president and oil companies to say, what can we do in the nation's interest to lower the price of gas at the pump? >> well i'm just -- i'm fine with that. we want that kind of discussion and cooperation between the government and industry but the thing we have to keep in mind is energy is a long-term business. and to change this massive system of energy supply takes time. so, to sit down and have some strategic thinking about where do we want this to go in the fewer, particularly given that the population in the world is growing like crazy, we have to address that now. >> but how about -- i mean, obviously this bill the president wanted to sponsor, the president was in favor of did not pass in the senate. but wouldn't it be an act of good faith by oil companies to say, we don't really need these subsidies now. let's get together with president and congress and come up with a policy for benefit of americans and energy dependent on the part of the united states? >> let me give you a different twist on that story, charlie, which is if we really want more dollars flowing into the federal government to help with the deficit and so forth, and if we want more income taxes flowing in, the way to do that is to produce more energy in this country. the question that congress and the president ought to be asking themselves is how do we incentivize more production. you get royalty payment off that, all those jobs and income tax that comes with it. the tax deductions that we're talking about taking away pale in comparison to -- >> nevertheless, a dollar's a dollar. how much subsidies contributed to your bottom line at shell oil. >> well first of all, we don't see these as subsidies. >> but you -- you know you can make an accounting evaluation of how much they meant to you. >> i don't have a number for you, charlie, in terms of you know, exactly how much in a gallon of gas the deductions that we take would be. but it's important to understand, these are the same deductions, manufacturing cost type deductions across all industries, not just the oil and gas industry. >> we need tax reform is your point. >> it really is. we need to look at that in a broad sense. >> thank you so much. >> thank you, charlie. >> time now to show you this morning's headlines from around the globe.

>> i'm not going to speculate about something i don't believe will happen. i don't believe it will happen. so i just think we should focus on what is the law doing for people now and what would happen if, in fact, republicans are able to repeal it? >> bob schieffer with us from washington. good morning. at the beginning of this as vice president said, have you been in washington a lot of years so it's good to see "face the nation" go after a lot of years, to a full hour, to have an opportunity to get involved in this political race we're looking at. secondly, the vice president, you have known him a lot of years since he came to the senate, when he was 29 years old. what kind of vice president has he been and how valuable and how well do the president and vice president get along? >> well, i think he's been a very good vice president. this is not a vice president like, say, dick cheney who set up his own shadow government within the government and sort of ran as an independent contractor over there. this is someone who ran against barack obama during the democratic time. didn't last very long. as he said they drummed me out almost from the beginning. but he is someone who's been totally loyal to this president. i think he's given and offered very good advice some of which was taken, some of which was not taken. i'm told by insiders. but someone who is never reluctant to get out there and try to make the administration's case. joe biden is kind of one of those old fashioned irish politicians. sort of like ted kennedy or tip o'neill or some of those people we've seen come down the line. unlike a lot of people in politics today, he has a great zest for politics. he really loves it. he likes to get out there and mix it up. he'll be the lead attack dog in this coming campaign charlie. that's what we saw yesterday. the white house -- you saw all these endorsements going yesterday to mitt romney. that means that people in the republican party think that mitt romney is going to win. people don't endorse people they think that are going to lose. but the other group of people who think that mitt romney's going to wind up with the nomination is the white house. when you see joe biden out there on "face the nation" and other places he's making speeches now, that tells you they've concluded it's going to be romney and they are -- and the general election is already under way. they'll wait for details later on the republican nomination. but they think it's going to be romney and they've got it under way. >> two issues that are going to be at the center of this presidential campaign. one is health care. i'll take that. erica can talk about gas prices. health care. if it is declared in part or totally unconstitutional, what impact, the question you asked joe biden? >> well biden absolutely will not speculate. he's been around in washington for a long time -- >> but you will. >> well, it's very difficult, charlie, not to come away after hearing the arguments and i was not inside the court, but the arguments they were making every indication are -- was that they are not enamored with this idea of that -- that the government can tell people to buy health insurance. i think it will have a huge impact both politically and economic alley. if you talk to democrats, they tell you that if this thing is thrown out it's going to add millions of dollars to the deficit. republicans will tell you just the opposite. you know, both have their talking points. but i think what biden was saying yesterday is that when push comes to shove, democrats think this is a good thing. they think it's the fairest way to treat people. republicans, no matter what happens, they're still going to try to take grandma's medicare away from her, whether the court lets this stand or doesn't. but i just don't see any -- any way that this is not going to play in the election. and coming in june it will be what we'll all be talking about, whatever the court -- >> just before the convention. we need to ask you quickly about the administration's take and focus on gas prices. obviously, the president throwing his support out there yesterday to repeal these subsidies, which didn't ultimately work in the senate. how much of a focus, though is there in items of a campaign strategy when it comes to gas prices, how much concern? >> well republicans are going to keep hammering this just like barack obama hammered george bush in 2008, talking about how much prices -- the people running for president always blame the person who -- the incumbent president for rises gas prices. i mean democrats make the point that there's really not all that much a president can do about it. it has to do with china and this enormous appetite it has for oil now. it has to do with turmoil in the middle east and has to do with speculators. that's the argument of those who say there's not much the president can do about it. but that's not going to stop the candidates from saying they ought to do something about it. gas prices have an enormous impact, much more than any of these numbers you hear about deficits and all that kind of thing, because when people go to the gas pump, they see the price of gas staring them at eye level right there on the gas gauge. it's always with us. >> it's a tough number to swallow. >> look forward to tuning in on sunday as "face the nation" goes to one hour. check your local listings for time. right here on cbs. the hero of jetblue flight 191, co-pilot jason dowd was cool, calm and collected when his captain had a meltdown. john miller has more on his story. and on monday we'll have a visit from oprah winfrey. can't wait for that. you're watching "cbs this morning." ♪ daisy, do a dollop ♪ ♪ daisy, do-do a dollop ♪ our family-owned company makes daisy... with 100% natural farm-fresh cream. no artificial ingredients. no preservatives. and no added hormones. ♪ better with a dollop here ♪ ♪ fresher with a dollop there ♪ ♪ wholesome in every way ♪ ♪ daisy, do a dollop ♪ ♪ daisy, do-do a dollop ♪ eat good fats. avoid bad. don't go over 2000... 1200 calories a day. carbs are bad. carbs are good. the story keeps changing. so i'm not listening... to anyone but myself. i know better nutrition when i see it: great grains. great grains cereal starts whole and stays whole. see the seam?

>> more billions are on the scene. they were customers who just weren't there 20 years ago. now you have china, malaysia india, russia seriously russia. and new new billionaires come in. when billionaires have bought all the toys they can possibly ever want, they go to art. why art? art gives you status. art introduces you to a social environment that you otherwise would not have access to. all of those wonderful things. you're seen as a patron of the arts the modern -- >> have you developed an appreciation for contemporary art? >> that pause gives us the answer. >> look, on this very broadcast, i guess in this very chair only a few days ago, jerry conservatively estimated that 85% of it was rubbish. he used a trongstronger word. >> yes. >> and i think he was being conservative. i think it's more like 95%. >> let's go back a second to 1993. at the time you did that piece, did you have any idea you would hurt their feelings or they would be irritated with you or did you care? >> the last. i didn't care. >> you didn't care? >> no. look i have great understanding, great sympathy and great affection for artists wanting to do their thing. what i don't have is an understanding of how the gatekeepers of contemporary art can let them get away with such rubbish. and i think one of the other problems, we address it very briefly in this piece, is the so-called art speak, the language of contemporary art, as expressed by many, many critics, particularly by curators. and i think when you go to get your master of fine arts degree, the more incomprehensible your doctoral paper is, the better grade you get. it's a language all its own that i don't think even the people who are using it understand. >> so you think they are simply subordinating their judgment about art to their desire to make a lot of money? >> the curators critics and artists? >> yes. >> in the case of critics and curators, not that much money, because the artists -- i mean, jeff kerns is a perfect example. >> someone gets a commission when a piece of art is sold. >> what i find tedious about the whole business is that most of the contemporary arts you see and that people tend to rave about in this incomprehensible language is derivative, it's can kitchy, lacks any irony. when you think that in 1917 was it, that dushon put his urinal up on the wall and called it art, it was a wonderful, glorious practical joke on the art world. and people are still doing it. the yoke is kind of over. >> were you excited to be here as we were to have you?

can't count just racing. >> that's my point. you can't just talk about racing racing. >> reporter: some trainers and jockeys say a synthetic surface is harder in cool morning air, causing injuries to horses in training. joie joy scott insists dirt is absolutely better for horse and rider. >> there's less impact, less concussion. i know that. if you fall on it you can really tell a difference but you can actually feel the difference on the horse when the horse hits the ground how much concussion there is. >> reporter: nevertheless, in 2006 the california horse racing board ordered the state's major track to convert to synthetic and santa anita spent $11 million to do it. but the drainage was bad. rocks floated up. and racing days were lost. after a near revolt by trainers and riders santa anita won permission to go back to dirt. jason spetnagel oversees maintenance. >> this surface goes through extensive testing almost on a daily basis. the maintenance that goes into taking care of this track is almost a 24/7 operation. >> reporter: it's done for the safety of the horses but so far the death rate at santa anita has nearly doubled on the dirt. now just under four for every 1,000
