Someone says “you have 1 out of 370 chances to win a bottle of water”
and you win 2 consecutive times in a row, what does that mean? i’m lucky or the probability is wrong?
In: Mathematics
The winners are scrambled. So you can have 59 winners in a row, depending on how they are scrambled. For example, in almost all scratcher lotteries, you have a 1 in 3 chance of winning. Which means that if they print 300000 tickets, 100000 will be printed as winners. But there might be sections in the printing where they print 6 winners in a row. And there might be sections where there are no winners for 30 tickets. Comment if you need further explanation.
