hey everyone , this is killing me!
ok:

observing Saturday Lotto,
we've had to look up the odds and try to calculate them ourselves. the first division i found fine but it's the 5 balls adn supplementary things taht are annoying
so:
there are 45 balls and 6 are picked,
the odds for drawing 5 numbers that you have on the ticket are 2621:1 based on 14 games .
the odds for 5 winning numbers plus either supplementary number are 48483:1! (based on 14 games)
can someone tell me how to find these!
it's so damn annoying!

Even better, do that, and put it in the extracurricular forum

but seriously, put that in the 4u forum. Someone else posted up a VERY similar thread last year, and they got answered.
