Then again, people who bet on the lottery are the C students in my
Probability and Statistics class {;-)


Can any of your students expound on the difference between having zero
lottery tickets and having one?

You mean they get a C? Talk about grade inflation.

I've suspected for years that the odds of being mailed the big check
by mistake were about the same as the odds of winning. :-)

But on closer examination I'm forced to conclude it's just not true;
there have been *lots* of winners since Powerball started, but I don't
know of a single instance of anybody being mailed the check by mistake
(at least who got to *keep* it). Oh well.
