Just a heads-up to anyone not inclined to do the math, at this point the odds are substantially better for all entrants than originally announced. The reason being (as Bosox surmised), the numbers associated with any unsold entries will be voided when it comes time to select a winner. If the winning number happens to fall on one of the voided numbers, we (the entrants) will collectively kick ourselves for not having bought just one more entry, and another sporting event will be selected to determine the winner. If that one again falls on a voided number, the process repeats until all our backsides are bruised and a winning number is finally arrived at.
And with that, I know I said I was done, but I'll take one more entry. Just don't tell the wife.
