Jose, I think you may be wrong about the odds. If you buy a ticket every
day, the odds are the same each day 1:308,000,000. If you buy 10 tickets each day the odds for each ticket to win is still the same. You are right inasmuch as the odds are the same every day (not counting the different number of people that buy tickets for any given game). However, the more tickets you buy, the more your =overall= chance of winning at =least= one game. For tiny chances, the increase is roughly linear (there's such a small chance of winning more than once it can be ignored). Jose -- Money: what you need when you run out of brains. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
