9 LEE: I would just like to say a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our BeoWorld stalwart Peter today! 21 yet again (he never gets any older, he's magic) and is as spritely as a teenager (when he's asleep).

tournedos: joeyboygolf: So what are the odds on winning all 10 in one draw!!! Since they apparently are completely independent events, the probability for that is simply 1/550 ^ 12 ~= 1.3e-33, which is 32 zeros after the decimal point, or 0.0000000000000000000000000000000013... or in other words pretty d*mn slim The odds for winning twice in the same
