Winning New York Lotto Numbers: 9-1-1

Very interesting, to say the least:

[url]http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/09/12/ar911.sept11.lottery.ap/index.html[/url]

ALBANY, New York (AP) -- On the first anniversary of the terrorist attacks, a date known as 9-11, the evening numbers drawn in the New York Lottery were 9-1-1.

"The numbers were picked in the standard random fashion using all the same protocols," said lottery spokeswoman Carolyn Hapeman. "It's just the way the numbers came up."

Lottery officials won't know until Thursday morning how many people played those numbers or the total payout, she said.

For the evening numbers game, the New York Lottery selects from balls numbered zero to nine circulating in a machine at the lottery office. Three levers are pressed, and three balls are randomly brought up into tubes and then displayed.

They are wrong, it's 1-in-999 chance. GoD WHy are human's so stupid?!

How do you figure?  000-999 = 1000 numbers.  Any given number in there has a 1/1000 chance of coming up.  (Think percentile dice in D&D 00-99 = 100 numbers)

Alternatively, you could view it as 3 independent random number generators, in which case the odds of getting 911 are 1/10 x 1/10 x 1/10 = 1/1000.

If 0 is impossible, ie, only 1-9 for each ball, then the chances are 1/9 x 1/9 x 1/9 = 1/729

Either way, it's not 1/999.

Well, not only is it the odds of the numbers coming up, but of it occuring on that particular date... pretty odd.
