More or Less · WS MoreOrLess: Golden Ticket · 12 Jul 2014 podcast

It's quite big. voice-verified

Using Rob's back-of-the-envelope calculations, he reckons that Charlie had a 1 in 20 million chance of winning the golden ticket. voice-verified

Of course, those are actually the chances that any random individual would win the ticket. voice-verified

In fact, you could argue that Charlie's chances are 100%. voice-verified
