A fairly recent one I heard was that of the Euromillions lottery. The National Lottery has a 14 million to one chance of being won, but the Euromillions one has a few hundred million to one chance (can't quite remember the correct figure), but they compared it to picking up your phone, dialling a random number, and the Queen picking up the other end.

The German lottery was won in 1995 and 1986 with an identical combination of numbers ;15-25-27-30-42-48 . It is perceived as being a coincidence but there was 25% chance of that two winning combinations would be identical over that period .
