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 draw are then 1/550 * 1/550 = something like 1 : 300,000. It most probably will happen sometime during the next 25000 years or so, unless the Klingons start to join as gold members en masse...

Discounting any effect due to luck, it would seem to be 1 in 2.77287206 × 10²⁷!

- there's only jandyt that has much of a chance then!

OK - as an assignment, please calculate the correlation function that links A/ the probability of correct calculating probability questions to B/ the quantity of Chilean Rosé consumed!
