Hi Fran.
I am also trying the dark forum. Little hard to get used to, but seems easier on the eyes.

Yep......don't see any changes to my default at this end......just for curiosity I did go to the 'ECF' the lower left corner, but don't see the paintbrush of which they speak.
Maybe I'll leave well enough alone.......my script takes up the entire screen, and if I want to see less, I just 'Ctrl.-"

OK. So that's wrong...I guess.
The math people say it's better odds than that. The example I found used Excel so the number of ways you can pick K numbers from a field of N is COMBIN(N,K) Calculate the number of ways "K" items can be selected from a set of "N"
COMBIN(N,K) is equal to: FACT(N) / (FACT(K) * FACT(N-K))
So that's 69! / (5! * 64!) then * 26 for the powerball.
Basically, ends up being 11,238,513 x 26 = 1 in 292,201,338
So almost 1 in 300 million, not the 35 billion I thought. So that's good. It's sooooo much better.
Amazing that it wasn't won with all the tickets sold. I'm now wondering about that "easy pick" option....Also amazing how small the odds still are...that even my mistake of making it 100 times worse didn't make me much more optimistic!
Hi snails. ~~~~~ Busy afternoon. See ya later.

This is the first blue sky and sunny day we've had in quite awhile. High of 12 that's already dropped to 9.
And note where I said "right mind" above.

Inexcusible.

WHO is PAYING those buffoons???? Probably OTHER programmers. (I'm retired, so
make all the programming comments you want, I do not care at this point.)
