    "money became paper" to these lottery AP's and for BJ AP's, money becomes pieces of plastic. Good story! Thanks for sharing.

    The article stated that : . . . . . . picked six numbers, 1 through 49, you had a 1-in-54 chance to pick three out of the six numbers in a drawing . . .

    My calculations show that the probability should = 6C3 * 43C3 / 49C6 = 0.017650403, which equivalent to 1 in 56.656, compare to 1 in 54 as what stated in the article.

    Can anybody verify my calculations ?
