playing with numbers

It is amazing how the lottery corporations play with mathematics and release misleading information The true odds of picking seven out of seven are one in 63 million. Because the tickets on the old Super Seven and the new Loto Max give you three series of numbers the corporation tells you that the odds are one in 21 million. I argue that the odds are 3 in 63 million and that is not the same as 1 in 21 million
