That must have been tense knowing they didn't purchase that last fraction of a percent.
- ronyeh 2y agoLike when you use that last discard to attempt to draw the flush five.
- qingcharles 2y agoYeah, I'd be sweating thinking about the last handful that were missed.
- omoikane 2y agoAccording to[1], Rook TX bought 99.3% of all possible number combinations. I couldn't find a site that says why the last 0.7% was missed. Maybe they meant to buy all the tickets, but due to logistical errors or whatever, they discovered they missed a few?
