InfiniteNow Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Okay, I do not mean "Lockout/Tagout - Loto" procedures regarding electricity and safety, but the probability of winning money through game where players select a small group of numbers (usually six) from a large set (usually 49) and are awarded prizes based on how many match the randomly drawn result... How many scratch off tickets do you reckon I should buy to win $5,000? Any better ideas on how to quickly come up with this money? :hyper: :shrug: Quote
TheBigDog Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 I don't play any game that doesn't have the potential to grant me immediate and permanent retirement. $265 million tomorrow night. For me it is worth a couple of bucks to stand outside in that thunderstorm. :shrug: Bill Quote
Turtle Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 How many scratch off tickets do you reckon I should buy to win $5,000?:shrug:Probability is based on a false assumption of fairness. Just one; just buy the winnining one. Quote

Turns out that since I am paid as a contractor that I'm gonna get slammed on my sought after mortgage... Curses!!! :shrug: Quote
