If I use a ticket generator that always generates the ticket &quot;1 2 3 4 5 6&quot;, I&#x27;ve excluded 292201337&#x2F;292201338 of the probability space, so by your argument I&#x27;m lowering my chances from 1 in 292 million to approximately 1 in 85 quadrillion.<p>You argument applies to <i>any</i> particular ticket, and thus if right would show that the odds of any particular ticket winning are 1 in 85 quadrillion.
