I said "measurably". That is to say it has no impact on your life, other than reducing the amount of money you have.
Anyone who took a basic combinatorics or discrete math class can explain the mathematical difference, which is obviously nonzero.
- cookie_monsta 4y agoWell if we're changing the statement so that it's now about impact on life that's mostly correct, except if you're talking to the person who bought the winning ticket. But we were originally discussing if buying a ticket changed your chances of winning. Not buying a ticket you have zero chances in infinity. Buying a ticket you have 1 chance in 292 million. I don't think it matters that you have decided that 292 million is a really big number. It's certainly less than infinity and 1 is certainly more than zero. I don't know what kind of maths classes you would need to take to see what has changed there.
