minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink39•1 year agoJust got two Powerball tix for tonight, thanks! Since one ticket is 50%, two should basically guarantee I win! Gonna go kick my boss in the balls and walk out, should be fine, right? Probably.
minus-square@surewhynotlemlink1•1 year agoThat’s why you should add instead of multiply. 0.5 + 0.5 = 0.10 So the odds are even worse

two tickets actually lowers your odds
50% x 50% = 25%
That’s the odds to win both. Op need one of them only.

Go cast your fancy magic someplace else.
I see no flaws here.
