It could also take just one day if you are lucky. It impossible to predict, just like the future of bitcoin.

If you want to play the Bitcoin lottery, it's a far better idea to focus your computing power on solo mining. You have far more chance guessing a 25 bitcoin block than getting a valid private key.
