Highly improbable events do happen, but that doesn't change the fact that they are highly improbable.

What do you want him to say? Assuming the method for picking winning lottery numbers is fair and random, then all possible combinations of winning numbers are equally likely to occur. There is no way to improve your odds through which numbers you choose. He won by random chance.

If there are a grand total of 4 tickets.
(guess it works with 2 tickets as well... but then you would just say you bought ALL the tickets)

All possible combinations are equally likely to occur, but some pay out less than others (e.g. if 1,2,3,4,6 are the winning numbers each winner is going to get way less than if you win with 14,29,32,40,58)

And that is based mostly on human psychology, not the inherent laws of math or physics.

That's true. I was only talking about odds of winning. If you're talking about expected payout then that's not going to be the same for every possible combination of numbers.

Yeah, a ticket is only $2 and there are 3 drawings a week. I don't understand why people are so hellbent against the $2 - $6 a week I want to spend on the very small chance of improving the life of myself and the ones I care about.
