This means the -chance of a collision is about the same as winning 13 such lottery games *in a -row*. +chance of a collision is lower than winning 8 such lottery games *in a row*: +:math:`(1.2277 * 10^{-7})^{8} = 5.1623 * 10^{-56}`. In conclusion, it is extremely unlikely that such a collision would occur by accident in a normal datastore.
