      It also means that you're most likely going to come across and find a winning ticket on the ground rather than winning it yourself

    Purchasing a lottery ticket is purchasing a glimmer of hope in a monotonous life. It's not purchasing a chance of winning.

    The lottery is a game of "pure luck." People do not need to buy more than one ticket to increase their chances of winning.

      Buying more tickets does increase your chances of winning, but it’s such a ridiculously minute chance already that it may as well make no difference

      I disagree, excessively increasing organization would have decreased the humanity of the piece. This interview felt casual and real, as opposed to many others that feel forced.
      The mathematician had space to breathe, you know? To me, that’s good.
      The only issue was that the one anchor wasn’t aware of the screen behind him. That’s my only negative comment, a simple error to have.

    Let me save you sometime, take your money split them up and buy at the beginning of every month and invest in a 3x ETF leveraged like TQQQ or SPXL, and let that money grow over 50 years. Your odds of making over a million dollar is far greater than buying a lottery scam ticket

    I have a question/dilemma about a math problem for you math experts: There's a sports lottery game where there's 14 football matches (each match can end in 3 ways, the local team wins=1, there's a draw=X, or the visiting team wins=2). Let's say for instance I have to guess 10 of those matches (1, X or 2). What are the chances of randomly guessing any of those 10 matches out of 14? I looked on various sites and they used the formula ''3 to the power of 10'' resulting in 1 in 59049 chance but it's incorrect and it's a ridiculously large number too, they calculated the chances assuming there's 10 matches in total and not 14. How can I calculate step by step the correct chances of guessing 10 out of 14 matches?
