Was any big lottery ever had all series numbers drawn at random?

I am not sure if I understand the question. I think this is what you want to know: For "big" lotteries, the kind that runs on a regular basis with one or more drawings per week, the numbers are set up in such a way that it should take a while (on average) for a winner or winners to emerge. It would be a huge problem if there are so few combinations that a winner or winners appear at every drawing. The prizes would be small, few people would play, and this certainly wouldn't amount to a good revenue source for states. There are usually 10's or 100's of millions of different possibilities for the bigger lotteries. Let's say that a game has drawings twice a week, and there are one hundred million possibilities. It would take nearly a million YEARS before the game could even be PLAYED the number of times equalling the number of possible combinations. But, it's better than that. WAY before every combination is hit, there will be millions and millions of duplicates, combinations that come up a second time or more, before every combination is hit. I'm not going to try doing the calculations, but I wouldn't be surprised if it would take billions of years before every combination actually gets hit. Just imagine the time in the distant future when one half of all possibilities has been hit. By then there will already have been countless duplications. but at that point, any series that wins will have a 50% probability of being a series that has already won at some time in the past. You get the picture.


If there are 6 contestants in a race the number of different ways the first and second place winners is?

6 X 5 = 30: There are 6 possible winners, and with the winner chosen, there remain 5 possible second place finishers. The choices are independent, so that the number of possible choices is the product of the two individual place choices.


What is positive sum game?

In a game with many players, there can be none, one or many winners and none, one or many losers. A positive sum game is one in which the sum of all the winnings is greater than the sum of all the losses. In theory, then, it should be possible for the winners to compensate the losers but still keep some of the positive sum. But that is in theory!
