Lottery ticket odds question

You mean “26 instead of 365/366 possibilities”, at least how it’s usually presented. The question is basically, how many people do you need in a room before it’s more likely than not that two share the same birthday? It’s 23, and you’re choosing from a pool of 365 or 366 days.

Quite right. I flubbed the dub there. I was (obviously) thinking days of the month.
