Can't someone luck out and jumble a bunch of numbers and letters, luck across a private key, and steal all the money off the paper wallet?

If it's pure luck, the odds are so astronomically low as to be pretty much zero.

And by low, I don't mean "winning the lottery" low.  I don't mean winning the lottery while getting struck by lightning low.  I mean like, pretty much zero.
