uhh, i don't really think thats correct. if its worded "the chance that 9-1-1 would happen on 9/11", then its (1/1000) * [1/(365.25)] or 1 in 365,250.

Rubbish. I thought about this more driving to work. As far as I am concerned it really is only 1 in 1000. They are independent events. The chance of 911 on any day is 1 in 1000. The chance of 911 on 11/10 is still 1 in 1000.

but if you word it "the chance that 9-1-1 would happen on 9/11 at NY", then it would be 1 in (365,250 * x) where x is th e number of cities that hold similar daily lotto games.

How does having another lotto game in another city increase the odds?
