I find it amusing
when I encounter folks
jotting notes of winning lottery numbers.
How will they ‘analyse’ such records?
So what if a number wins many times?
Does it mean it is likely to win again next?
Or does it mean it is less likely this time?
Or does it mean it will no longer win?
So what if a number never wins even once?
Does it mean it is likely to finally win next?
Or does it mean it is just as unlikely this time?
Or does it mean it remains unlikely for all time?
So what if a number wins once in a while?
Does it mean it is likely to win again next?
Or does it mean it is unlikely this time?
Or does it mean it will no longer win?
You get the idea.
Anything goes.
And if so,
why even ‘analyse’ the numbers?
