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

if you asked this before it happened its one chance out of 999 or whatever the total numbers they use. after the fact its a moot point as it is only talked about when it happens.
just like getting aces twice in a row. its the price of getting it only once. as you only look for it after the first pair come in. but you never even think about it till it happens, which it will at some point. it only matters if before the start of the hand you exclaim i am looking to get aces in both of the next two deals. same thing with this lottery thing.
