Default Re: What\'s The Chances of This One? 911 NY Drawing

wow. i bet the state had to pay out bigtime for that one. i wonder how many people played 911 yesterday.

as far as odds:

1/1000 or 999-1 against 911 coming up.

coming up on that specific date, any year? 1/365000.

coming up 911 on 11.9.02, i'm not sure what our sample size is, so i don't know how to calculate this one. if it is in infinite time, then the probability is 100%.
