gee, i remember seeing this on another post long time ago, and the answer was, imaging a guy walking down the street and says choose one from the following 3. doesn't mean its a one in 3 chance of winning, but rather a 1 in 3 in a few million.

I don't think it was overlooked, there is a message in the game tables about a 99% TAX on the lottery. So the leftovers might fit.

Of course we don't know if the message is used by the code... :wink:

And anyway, you are buying the lottery tickets from some very shady characters. They probably made the tickets with a ball point pen! :P
