Taking chances

What are chances? Why do they keep talking about "taking chances"?

Can't help but notice that if someone wins the million dollar lottery on TV they would think "Gee, what are the chances I'd win that".

Then I think, for example: if you live in an apartment and it's midnight, then someone knocks on your door.

The chances of the person behind it is someone who's going to tell you you just won a million dollar is about the same as it is a murderer.

So, is it only about whether you would open the door or not (i.e. taking chances)?

If you say you would ask who is it first, that wouldn't be taking chances..
