It's a question of conditional probability. If I'm going to be lucky enough to win, I'm going to be lucky enough to find the winning ticket laying on the ground.

I know you know this, otherwise it wouldn't have been the punch line of your joke, but it amazes me how many people don't know that even buying 1,000 more lottery tickets doesn't really increase the chances of winning that much. 1,000 / 292,000,000 = 0.000342% vs 0.000000342 % chance of winning.

Both are pretty much zero.



Aw hell, I didn't read all the way through the thread. Imma leave this up anyway because it's just too good not to.
