Nah Nah Nah Nah Hey Hey Hey Goodbye

Only two 'hey's.

I am quite sure that it entails three heys.

I think I'll stop buying lottery tickets. I must have wasted a few hundred of dollars over the years, and really the odds of winning are so small. All I have won is $10 two or three times in the last 10 years. It doesn't make sense mathematically.

There is indeed 3 "hey's".

Kamog, your odds of winning a 50 number lottery where you have to match even just 5 numbers is 1/254,251,200. Put that another way, you have a 0.0000003933% chance of winning the jackpot. Not what I call good odds. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Nope. Two. Unless you happen to be listening to the song?

Swirling, yup.

I recently started putting in the lottery pool at work. Even though I know that even with the 20-30 tickets our combined money buys the odds of hitting the jackpot in my lifetime are infenitesimally small. And probably a case could be made that a lottery pool is actually worse than playing alone since it doesn't significantly improve your chances of winning, but does significantly decrease your share of the jackpot if you do win.

I have no expectation of winning. I do have what I believe is a perfectly rational reason for playing though. Instead of greed, it's fear. I don't want to be the poor schlob that get's interviewed by the TV station the day after our group wins... "Sooo, betcha feel stupid now for not playing, right?" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

So swirling is kinda hard... Let's just have this pretty black one.
