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

Eh? The chances of 911 coming up on any specific date, any year, are 1/1000. The only way your number would make sense is if the state only did one lotto drawing a year.

coming up 911 on 11.9.02, the chances of this are also 1/1000

The day we pick doesn't matter. The chances of drawing 911 are always 1/1000.
