4625C│                                                                    
4725C│ When you choose tickets for the 6/xx lottery we of course hope     
4825C│ to win.  Sadly the odds against our winning the big one are        
4925C│ astronomical...  that's not true with the smaller prizes           
5025C│ though.                                                            
5125C│                                                                    
5225C│ So...  perhaps we should settle for trying to win a smaller        
5325C│ prize...  perhaps 3 out of 6 or maybe 4 out of 6...                
5425C│ This won't obliviate the possibity of winning the big one...       
5525C│ it simply vastly improves our chances of winning one of the        
5625C│ smaller prizes...

6230C│ Now then if we try to win the three number prize with one          
6330C│ ticket covering 6 numbers the odds against success are about       
6430C│ 57 to 1.   If we wanted to cover all 49 numbers the cost would     
6530C│ be prohibitive.  Somewhere in the middle is a happy medium.        
6630C│                                                                    
6730C│ Suppose you decide to settle on a guaranteed 3 out of 6 winner
