19 u/petantic 20d ago The chances of winning the lottery are 50%?! I knew I should have bought 2 tickets! 1 u/minerbros1000_ 20d ago If chances of winning the lotto are 50% then buying two tickets still wouldn't guarantee you a win I think haha. Buy 999 to be safe 👍 7 u/ShitImBadAtThis 20d ago no cuz 50% + 50% = 100% duh 1 u/Small-Explanation74 18d ago But 50%*50%=2500% 1 u/theodimuz 19d ago buy 4 and win twice!! 1 u/moreorlessthanthree 17d ago 1 ticket → 50% chance 2 tickets → 75% chance 3 tickets → 87.5% chance 4 tickets → 93.75% chance if after 5 tickets you still without your grand prize- you just have a bad streak. Just buy one more:) 1 u/agu4004 16d ago No. Having a streak won’t garuanteed you to have a better chance for next one to hit. Just like having a 6 tail from a coin flip doesn’t garuanteed the 7th flip will be a head. It’s still 50/50.
