A little help - Odds of me winning?
 

I won the drawing at the Borgata today (12/22) for a new Laptop. Anyone know the odds of me winning?

1st they had to pick a table, I estimate there were 27 tables in play. So 1/27 chance of my table being the "lucky" table.

Then my table had 9 seats, I was at seat 6. So 1/9 chance.

Is it just 1/9*27 = 1/243? Or something different?

This is correct if this is actually how they're picking the winner. If they choose a random table first, and then choose a random player, it's right. If they just choose a random player, you'd need to know how many players are in the room and it would obviously just be 1/N.

Yes, it was table first, then the seat.

Thanks
