Hi Crew-

As you may already know, we didnt win anything on the tix I

bought...actually I bought 8 others and didn't even get 3#'s! Will one

of the Math Wiz's out there tell me how that is possible LOL?

2 people did win though, they will share the Jackpot...

peace- JJ

If there are 5 balls chosen, with numbers from 1-50,

the odds of picking all six would be 1 in 254,251,200.

The odds of matching 3 numbers would be 1 in 117,600.

Calculate it like this: the odds of matching one

number is 1 in 50. The odds of matching a second

number would be 1 in 49 (because 1 ball has been

removed). The odds of matching a third ball would be

1 in 48, and so on. The odds of matching 3 balls

would be 1/50 times 1/49 times 1/48, which is

1/117,600.

Or was that a rhetorical question? haha I'm bored,

as you can tell....
