What Are The Odds?
The Big Picture
So, we have 400 tickets. Scattered in those tickets are 100 winning tickets. The odds of getting one of the winning tickets is 1 in 4.
To Be Clear
Some believe that when you buy 4 tickets, then 1 of those tickets should be a winner. It’s more random than that.
Think of It This Way
400 gumballs get loaded into this machine, 300 are white, 100 are red. Each time you turn the dial you have a random chance of getting one of those tasty red gumballs.
You Got This
If you turn the dial 400 times, you’ll receive 100 winning red gumballs. That’s a 1 in 4 chance of winning, and that friends, is how odds work!
