Hottest News in the Philippines Today 2 October 2022

A lottery draw happened the night before today. The lottery game is known as the 6/55 Philippine Charity Sweepstake Office Lotto Game. A player had to choose a group of 6 numbers from the numbers 1 2, 3, 4, 5, ..., 54, 55 for a fee of 20 pesos for the combination of 6 numbers. If the 6 chosen numbers come out in any order during the drawing of 6 random numbers, the player wins a jackpot prize. Mathematically, there are 28,989,675 possible unique combination of 6 numbers from the 55 different numbers. Therefore, a player who puts a bet on 1 combination/group of 6 numbers has 1 out of 28,989,675 chance of winning the jackpot prize. Such transforms to 0.0000000345 or 0.000000345% probability of winning. The general implication is it is almost impossible to win. Surprisingly, it was announced that 433 won the jackpot. Even more surprising is the nature of the numbers that came out during the draw. The 6 numbers that came out are the multiples of 9 that are in the range of the 55 numbers. The combination of 9,18,27,36,45,54 turned out to be the 6 numbers that came out. Talk about randomness! It seems the numbers are defiant of the randomness concept. Talk about an almost 0 probability of winning! It seems 0% chance is not real. Talk about FORTUNE! Luck is life for the many.
