Issues Related to the National Lottery: Discussion

Mr. Andrew Algeo:

The sentence in the statement reflects the actual number of unique numbered tickets that are entered into each draw and the probability, given that those sales occurred, that the jackpot was not won in each subsequent draw. There is no estimate or average in it. It is simply the multiplication of the probabilities of each draw, looking at the actual sales, being won multiplied by each other and that brings us to that sentence.
