I'm far too tired to quote everyone as I just landed in Melbourne from Brisbane and I worked all day.
How did I find the address?
I generated a random number between 1 and 1809251394333065553493296640760748560200586941860545380978205674086221273350 then I entered it in the URL for btckey.space
I then would click next a random amount of times then delete the last digit off the URL, rinse and repeat.
I setup btckey.space to throw a notification when an address with a balance is found, and it happened.
I then made a post to the directory.io with balances thread I started stating that I found an address.

I'm not a liar, I understand the odds:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.20242181It just drives me nucking futs that people think it's impossible.... 1 out of all the atoms in the known universe DOES NOT MEAN IMPOSSIBLE!
I just realized after reading through the FB groupchat that I posted the wrong address, the address I originally posted is not the one I found randomly.
Stand by while I locate the proper address, should have a balance of 0.00003941
