The make up lottery ticket win

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.

Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.

This is not mine but something I read that didn't get enough attention to it paid in the newspapers. Maybe about 10 years ago, but it could even have been 20, but less than 30 there was a family or person in the Bronx that bet the same numbers every week on the New York State lottery. And one week they won. Except they hadn't bought a ticket that week. Well, they picked themselves up where they were left and continued buying. 8 weeks later they won. yes, with the exact same numbers they always used. Yes the exact same numbers won again, eight weeks apart, and this time they had a ticket. Only the winning prize was considerably less. I can't find it, although I did find a ase of acouple actually winning twice with the same 6 numbers, once in December, 1996 and teh second time on August 18, 2007. http://gopi4u999.blogspot.com/2009/11/worlds-youngest-couple-every-little.html Here's another lottery ticket (only 4 numbers) coming out twice: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/new-york-state-lottery-draws-numbers-day-article-1.359426 A wall Street Journal artivle about lottery numbers: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB125366023562432131?cb=logged0.13488096864225057 Maybe you can find taht story. First, find when the same numbers repeated after 8 weeks. That's not ir. This was someone that didn't win the first time and the same numbers came out only 8 weeks apart.
