Question

In a state lottery, a player selects six different numbers between 1 and 60 inclusive. If those six numbers are drawn in the lottery, the player wins millions of dollars. Nguyen is considering buying a ticket, and his friend Brad suggests, "Why don't you pick 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6?" Nguyen replies, "Are you kidding? Those will never come up!" Brad comes back, "They have just as good a chance as anything else!" Is Brad's claim true or false?

Answer 1

the claim is true, since the drawing of each number is independent of the previous number(s).
