The Lottery

by funkyjeff11

I have discovered a way to win the lottery every single day.

There are thirty different numbers you can choose from. But you can only pick six numbers per ticket. Well, you just have to find out how many different six number combinations you can make with numbers up to thirty.

For example, lets say that there are 100 different six number combinations you can make with numbers that go up to thirty (not true, this is just an example). It costs 10 NP to buy a ticket. So, if you bought 100 lottery tickets, it would only cost you 1000 NP.

If you know all of the combinations, then there is a 100 percent chance that you are going to win.

If there are 100 combinations, and you have bought a ticket for each combination, you're going to win. The winning numbers have to be one of those combinations. If there are 100 different combinations, it would cost you 1000 NP to buy a ticket for every single combination. For some users, they may seem like a lot, but for some users, that's not a lot at all. I can guarantee that the jackpot is going to be more than 1000 NP.

But, there could be more than 100 combinations. There could be 1000, which would mean that you would need 10000 NP to buy a ticket for every single combination. Or there could be 500 combinations, which would mean that you would need 5000 NP to buy a ticket for every combination.

I have yet to try this experiment. But, if you think about it, it should work.

I'm not going to tell you how many combinations there are. (That's because I haven't figured it out yet.) But ask someone that is good at math: If you can pick six different numbers that can't be higher than thirty, how many different combinations can there be?

I am 100 percent sure that this will work, even though I haven't tried it yet.

There is a downside. If this article gets published in the Neopian Times, then that means that there are thousands or maybe even millions of people reading this. If a lot of people find out how many different combinations there are and what they are, and they buy all of the tickets, the people who win won't get a lot of prize money.

The more people who win, the less money the winners get, because they have to share. So you better find out those combinations and buy the tickets before other people do. The faster you do it, the more NP you get.

Remember, you can do this every day. The amount of prize money that you win is probably going to be more than the amount of money you spent on the tickets. If you spent 5000 NP (once again, this is only an example) to buy tickets, and the prize is 10000 NP. Then you just won 5000 NP. And you can do it again the next day.

So save up your money if you're poor, and go do it now if you're rich, because what I have just said may change the lives of NeoPet users.
