[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a story, but maybe some reassuring math. Many are pointing out the the lottery is a repeated game. If you are lucky your first year, you might be done for your whole family (given sibling preference) for many years. If you aren't lucky, you can try again. If you are entering the lottery in PK3, you have a total of 3 lotteries by the time of K. The probability that your best draw of the 3 is in the top p fracrltion of lottery numbers is 1-(1-p)^3. So, for example, the chance that your number is eventually in the top half (.50) of numbers is .875 So, for example, the chance that your number is eventually in the top fifth (.20) of numbers is .488 So, for example, the chance that your number is eventually in the top .05 of numbers is .143[/quote] So true. It is reassuring to hear about this, that most people don't get into their preferred choices year for prek3 but they keep trying. Good luck to all of us![/quote]
