  • The phrase is a million to one.

  • A million to one.

  • Beth, can you tell us a bit more?

  • Well, I've entered a baking competition.

  • I really hope I get into the finals, but I'm not feeling confident, especially because I'm not very good.

  • The chance is a million to one.

  • A million people havent actually entered the competition.

  • But you say a million to one.

  • Because you feel your chance isnt very high.

  • Yes, its an exaggeration.

  • I think the chance is extremely unlikely.

  • Well, I hope you hear back soon.

  • Maybe you could bring a cake in for us to try.

  • I can, but youll have to get in quickly.

  • Its a million to one that Neil and Phil will not have eaten it all before you even get near it.
