>James,
>You're welcome. For a moment I thought you needed it just now and remembered how lucky I'm :) Believe it or not following story is real (and unfortunately victim is me:)
>
>In Turkey there is kind of lottery where not only one number but many earn prizes. There is 6 digits and one ticket gets the big prize. Others have chance like :
>If your last 5 digits matches some numbers
>If your last 4 digits matches some numbers
>...
>If your last 1 digit matches some numbers (here only 2 numbers and gets ticket cost)
>So say if you buy 10 tickets where last digit is from 0 to 9 you guarantee to get back 2*ticket cost :)
>Once I got 8 tickets (financially couldn't buy 10) leaving only 2 digits in 0-9 sequence and guess what :) I earned nothing (I think they teach us probability wrong:)
>Funny I should be the only one that never won anything from that lottery in his life.
