«lawrence» wait, it's not 1/1000? how many numbers are there from 0-1000, then? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:10am) «nate...» m hm! CT is definitely the State of Satan (tm) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:10am) «Rob Balder» That article doesn't mention it. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:10am) «John J. Ryan» But that answers our question about whether simply 3-number lottery winnings are split up or not. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:10am) «Rob Balder» It's 1/1000. There are three independent buckets of 10 balls (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:10am) «Josh Woodward» lawrence -- the difference is in the fact that there are a finite number of balls of a given number, say 6. for 666, the third six is less likely than the first one. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:10am) «lawrence» er, I thought it was what Rob described... (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:11am) «J. Andrew World» Bye Fr�lie! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:11am) «Rob Balder» Cya Fr�lie. Say hi to your man for me. :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:11am) «Josh Woodward» oh, sorry.. didn't see that part :-) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:11am) «lawrence» you're saying it's just a big bucket of 3 of each number? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:11am) «John J. Ryan» The chance of three numbers 0-9 coming up as a triple (000, 111, 222) is 1/100 (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:12am) «Rob Balder» No it's definitely 3 compartments with 10 balls each. At least all the ones I have ever watched (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:12am) «Rob Balder» Any number is the same chance. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:13am) «nate...» really? I always thought it was one main ball bin.... (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:13am) «Josh Woodward» gotcha, i've never watched a lottery, so.. :-) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:13am) «Rob Balder» The Power Ball is one big bin (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:13am) «lawrence» besides. poweball and big game are the real ones anwyay. :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:13am) «John J. Ryan» Nope, they do draw the digits seperately. But either way, it is still 1/1000. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:13am) «Rob Balder» But the Pick 3 and Pick 4 are separate bins (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:13am) «lawrence» John - well, no, it wouldn't be 1/1000 if it were one big bin with 30 balls in it. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:14am) «nate...» rob: ahhh (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:14am) «John J. Ryan» There will be a quiz later in Probability 101. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:14am) «John J. Ryan» Then it would be 1/30. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:14am) «lawrence» uh, no. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:14am) «Josh Woodward» no, lawrence means 3 "0" balls, 3 "1" balls.. etc (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:15am) «John J. Ryan» But the balls are independent of each other, so the possibilities of that give you 1/1000 (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:15am) «Rob Balder» The freakiness of these lotto outcomes have to be weighed against all the freaky outcomes that DIDN'T occur but we'd comment on them if they did. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:15am) «Josh Woodward» then it's be higher than 1/1000 for "123" and lower for "666" (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:15am) «lawrence» but they don't - because once a single 1 has been drawn, you have a 2 in 29 chance of getting another 1, but a 3 in 29 chance of getting anything else. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:15am) «lawrence» right. so in other words, if you're going to play those wimpy lotteries, don't pick repeated numbers. :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:16am) «John J. Ryan» Hmmmm, I see what you are saying. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:16am) «Rob Balder» Lawrence what you said is only true if the 30 balls were in a big bin (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:16am) «John J. Ryan» It's one bin of 30 balls, not three bins, each with 10 balls. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:16am) «Josh Woodward» exactly (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:17am) «Josh Woodward» but it's not. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:17am) «lawrence» maybe it differs from state to state? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:17am) «nate...» nate got a job offer... laughs (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:17am) «Rob Balder» I'll find a link. It's definitely three bins (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:17am) «nate...» this is really amusing me. :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:17am) «lawrence» wait. hold on a second. we've spent an entire PAGE talking about this. :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:17am) «Josh Woodward» i think the "big" lottery is a single collection of non-repeating numbers from 1-50something (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:17am) «Andrea Krause» and it's the second time today, even. :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:17am) «lawrence» Josh - yeah, the big game is 5 non-repeating from 1-52, and 1 from 1-52 that could be the same as one of the others. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:18am) «Josh Woodward» at which point, if you picked repeating numbers for it, you're a moron :-D (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:18am) «John J. Ryan» You can always watch your state's lottery on TV. They show the bin(s) right there. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:18am) «emilie is CRANKY» gah. too much maths. *head explodes* :D (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:18am) «lawrence» and powerball is similar, but I think the odds are better. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:18am) «J. Andrew World» John I got the Picture of you and Melissa from the hood of your car! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:18am) «Rob Balder» You can't pick repeating numbers in a regular lotto. You can only make the number on the card once (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:18am) «J. Andrew World» MLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:18am) «nate...» the odds may be better, but how about the evens? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:19am) «emilie is CRANKY» ND! :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:19am) «lawrence» nate - they're even better! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:19am) «J. Andrew World» Now I know what I fly sees before it hits your car! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:19am) «emilie is CRANKY» *grin* (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:19am) «J. Andrew World» Paul Sabourin says Hi bounces to see MLE! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:19am) «John J. Ryan» Put it in your profile Andy. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:19am) «J. Andrew World» I can't seem to post any more pictures. I just took a ton off and I still can't! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:20am) «John J. Ryan» Email it to me (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:20am) «J. Andrew World» Ok! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:21am) «John J. Ryan» Now I've got the Pennsylvania Lottery theme earwormed. Gah! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:23am) «Andrea Krause» .oO Too may people think they're misunderstood every time somebody disagrees with them Oo. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:26am) «jaye» jaci's an angel. has the spice girls / george michael earwormed (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:27am) «John J. Ryan» Each profile needs to have a telepathic connection with our brain, so that the current earworm appears next to your handle. :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:27am) «John J. Ryan» with your brain, not our brain. We're not the Borg. :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:28am) «J. Andrew World» Can I be Pinkey then? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:28am) «Andrea Krause» *I* am the borg. Oh, wait, no...that was "a bore" (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:28am) «jaye» sure. you're insane. it's fitting. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:29am) «J. Andrew World» NARF! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:29am) «sheryls» "i think so brain, but me and pippi longstocking, i mean, what will the children look like?!" (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:29am) «goovie is married!» zort! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:29am) «J. Andrew World» ALL THE WONDERFULL CHEESES FROM AROUND THE WORLD! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:29am) «J. Andrew World» Poit! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:30am) «J.

Andrew World» Paul Sabourin says Hi has earwormed Pinky's Cheeses from Around The World! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:30am) «sheryls» "you're missing the point, pinky!" (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:30am) «J. Andrew World» I sent you pictures, yo! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:31am) «sheryls» "naarf! you're right! no matter what the children look like, they'll be loved." (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:31am) «J. Andrew World» "Welcome Cheeses, I want to eat you all! You look so Yummy! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:31am) «John J. Ryan» My eyes are bloodshot from all the laughing I've done watching the wall today (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:32am) «J.
