wtf

The site didn't load for me, what are they???

holy shit, is that a joke?

I wonder how many people won that, seriously.

The results = 9 1 1

For anyone who doubted that the lottery was a scam, now you know.

First the dollar bill thing, now this... I'm starting to freak out. wtf?

The dollar bill thing is bullshit, you can fold pretty much any bill to resemble any current event if you have imagination.

But this is fucking weird!

Really, you don't think the bill thing is a little spooky? I mean, it fucking looks like the towers and Pentagon are on fire! Pretty crazy if you ask me.

Pure coincedence im sure....

crazy

and it just happened to be the NY lottery lol...pure bullshit..Somebody go figure up some odds of first getting 9-1-1 on 9/11 and then factor in the drawing happened in the same state as the attack... I'm thinking 1:6778678768678

This is an act of whitey!

Syncronisity (sp?)

WOW!

Actually the chances are 1/1000

But thanks for playing.

verified on ny daily news, 9, 1, 1 evening numbers.

FUCKING CRAZY, seriously... thats fucked up

erm, I think not...

Thanks for playing. =)

9 #'s, 3 digits, 365 days?

I think its closer to 1 in a billion.

Florida Lottery numbers for Cash 3 tonight were: 4-3-1

Holy shit!


Jak

you are thinking probability, which is different from chance.

chance on any given day the with 3 digits is 1/1000

numbers don't give a shit what day it is, you are implying they do not act independantly of each other.

thanks for letting my pussy Drew bitch you... Even scratch off tickets have a higher ratio than 1:1000... You damn cock

I said odds,which is based on probability...cock smoke

lol.

chance Pronunciation Key (chns)
n.

The unknown and unpredictable element in happenings that seems to have no assignable cause.
A force assumed to cause events that cannot be foreseen or controlled; luck: Chance will determine the outcome.
The likelihood of something happening; possibility or probability. Often used in the plural:

prob·a·bil·i·ty Pronunciation Key (prb-bl-t)
n. pl. prob·a·bil·i·ties
The quality or condition of being probable; likelihood.
A probable situation, condition, or event: Her election is a clear probability.

The likelihood that a given event will occur: little probability of rain tonight.
Statistics. A number expressing the likelihood that a specific event will occur, expressed as the ratio of the number of actual occurrences to the number of possible occurrences.

Are we done yet?

Odds are based on maximum number of possibilities to the Nth power, whereas N == the number of elements.

There are 10 possible draws on each ball.

There are 3 balls.

10 to the 3rd (10 x 10 x 10) is 1000.

we aren't determining just the winning numbers, we are determining THOSE winning numbers that came up... Just winning that NY lottery with ANY numbers is greater than 1/1000,let alone hitting 9-1-1 on 9/11 ... YA COCK

* d0se waits for Massivecock to chime in... :Graucho

enlighten me how a lottery with a pool of 1000 has odds greater than 1/1000?

with ANY number as you say

ran by jews

heh fair enough, I'll take that :)

Freaky - almost seems setup!

Almost? :evil-laug

Did this happen last year, that the tail numbers or flight numbers were in a lottery a few days after the attacks? Or it might have been the crash in queens, it was one of those.

"wake up 37..."

a clearcut setup , to restore faith in people?

You guys are funny.

There are 1000 possible combinations (10x10x10, as has been posted). Therefore, the odds of any specific three digits coming up (like matching the current date for example) are 1:1000.

The lottery balls don't give a shit what the date is. The odds are the same every day. And the odds are the same for 911 or 123 or 666 or any other number sequence you try to attach meaning to.

Welcome to the Matrix.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp..._911_futures_1

CHICAGO - In an ironic twist, the September Standard & Poor's 500 futures contract closed Tuesday at 911.00 ? a day before the one-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks.

Odds are 1:1000. slackor is right.

HAHAHA

1 in a million on a lottery with 1000 different combos. That's funny stuff.

If you start taking other events into consideration, then you have to take every other event ever into consideration. What the chance of this happening on that day on this planet in this solar system in this galaxy in this universe? The odds would be 1:googol or something ridiculous.

The odds of getting 911 in any day is 1,000. The odds of getting 911 ONLY on 9/11 would be much higher because you are now considering more events (which makes no sense in this case). Hope you understand.

If you look at a coke can in the right way it looks like santa cluse is doing lines of coke!

Actually, the original post posed the question... What are the odds that 9,1,1 would come up on 9/11....
10 to the 3rd is correct, however, you also need to multiply by the number of drawings in the year...

If you notice, NY draws 2x per day, everyday of the year...., the combination 9,1,1 has not shown up for over a year. I checked.

So, the formula is this:
10 to the 3rd = 1000 x 365 x 2 = 730,000....

So, at this point the odds are.... 1:730,000

To further calculate, you would need to find the past 10 years (give or take), of NY State Lottery drawing results, and map each number's "hit ratio", or at least find out the past 4 times that the combination 9,1,1 has come up. With that information, you can map out probability as to the pattern "hit" frequency. But, that's too much work at this time of the morning. :)

Shoudlnt you be out ripping off the lottery commission or taking casinos for some coin?

I think we got a Rainman here!

LOL... Actually, I used this method in the WA State Lottery for 4 weeks straight, and got it to where I hit 4 of the 6 numbers twice in a row. Then I started going number crazy, and stopped doing it. :)

it's 1/1000. slackor is correct. go back to school peeps and dont think so hard.

The day of the year would only come in to play if they didn't draw every day. So, for instance if they only drew a winner on one random day during the year. In which case the odds would be much higher, but are you more likely to roll as 7 then 11 at 8:45am or 7:11am... It maybe odd, but the odds are still only 1/1000 on 9/11.

So the chance of flipping a coin twice a day every day, and getting heads on one of the Sept 11th flippings is 1:1460?

I won!

All you 1:1000 responders, take the time to read the thread next time.

Noone said jack about the regular odds, only when factoring in the date...

Cuz noone cares about what the odds are on a regular day. =)

Actually, it's 1:2920. If you flip twice everyday. What most people don't realize is that, odds "in a perfect world" scenerio, do indeed follow simple calculations. However, as almost anyone will tell you, we are not in a perfect world.

Consider this:
In the lottery, the balls are thrown into a machine. Supposedly, each ball is checked for imperfections etc... via a balancing machine. THEN, they take these supposedly "perfect" balls, and throw them into a box that blows them around, and pull them out 1 by 1.

Now, wind blowing balls around is not mathmatical. Yet, the odds for actually winning a pick 6 Lotto jackpot are calculated on this "perfect world" scenerio, stricly based in mathmatics. They do not calculate variable wind velocity, nor do they calculate the size of the box.

continued...

Please tell me you did not just say that if I flip a coin every day twice a day, I only have a 1:2920 chance of getting heads on one of the flippings on Sept 11th.

continued...

So, to answer your question... Have you ever flipped a coin only twice, and gotten two heads or two tails??

Odds are simply calculating the "Most Likely" outcome. The factors that you calculate GREATLY affect the prediction.

If you were to say that there is a 1:2 chance that flipping a coin twice a day for 365 days, your odds are the same on the 365th day as they were on the 1st day... it would simply be ludicrous.

Because... If you flip a coin twice a day... Are you using the same coin? After 730 flips, the coin will inevitably begin to "wear" in some manner or another... If any part of that coin is "imperfect" it will change the odds completely, and favor one side or the other.

So, I guess all I'm saying is that, odds and chance are imperfect. Typically people calculate odds strictly by the mathmatics, and don't apply "real-world" physics and plain old logic to the calculations.

My original post to this topic was only trying to depict, that a simple 1:1000 calculation can be MORE accurate by adding additional factors to the equation.

Anyhow, that's all for now! :)
