you THINK you only have a 1 in 10 billion chance of winning the lottery but actually you as an individual either have a 100% or 0% chance of winning it because if you could time travel to 2100 and check back which individuals did or did not win the lottery you will see it is written in history those who won had a 100% chance of winning (because they did win) and those who didnt had 0%. so you as an individual could -actually- have a 100% chance of winning the jackpot, you just dont know it yet. the one whose going to win always had a 100% chance of winning.
>>82475772If you time travelled to the year 2,10,020,011,0,2000, and check back how many individuals won, divided by the number of individuals who participated in the lottery, what number would you get? >mfw when autistic people cannot understand statistics.
Yes the people who win have a 100% chance of winning. and guess what retard? only 1/100,000,000,000 people will have that 100% chance
>>82475772it's 50/50. i either win or lose.
>>82475832Winning represents about half ( .5 ) of the possible outcomes, yes. This approximation doesn't account for happenings like losing your ticket.
>>82475808yea but point is if you choose not to play because "odds are too low" you might actually have thrown away a 100% chance of winning over your lifetime
>>82475847yeah but when i lose my ticket, i find someone else's lost ticket
>>82475847If you win or lose it's always 50%. And if you lose the first time, then that makes your odds of winning 100% the next time so that it averages out to 50%
