The Actual Odds are 1000-1
On November 16th 2012 at about 8:05 AM, on the corner of SW 56 Street and 92 Avenue I had a Florida Lottery moment. Strewn on the grass on the corner lot were a lot of CASH 3 lottery tickets. I immediately went into race track stooper mode to see if there were any live tickets(doubtful) but who knows.
There were at least 25 $1.00 tickets all using 672 for the selected number on November 15th 2012. There may have been other reasons for this improbable wager but my initial reaction was: Dude! What were you thinking? There are other ways to blow $25.00? Why didn't you chose 25 different numbers for a better but still very small chance to win $500 rather than blowing it all on one number. I realize $12,500 is a lot of money if it had hit but according to the odds you should have been paid $25,000. Still a lousy bet. This is not a good use of venture capital, rent money, or milk money and you threw your dead wood out the window.
Further research indicated that the winning number on the evening of November 14th 2012 was 671.
I think the phone number for this kind of bridge jumping is 1-800-Admit-It.
