hm...over the weekend my father NEARLY struck 4D
he was 1 digit away from the top prize...
1 digit away from 10K
so obviously he was a bit tui....
he though it was so near, yet so far
Being a bit more critical, analytical
i gave it a bit more thought
and realized
it's actually not so near, but quite far
probability of striking top prize is 1/10000?
but the probability of have 3 similar digits is...9/2500 if I'm not wrong
which is 36 times more likely you know
the chances are even lower than buying system 24
no wonder they don't give payouts for striking 3 digits
another fine example of how math thoughts can defy common layman logic
i love mathematics, and meta-mathematics
