LOL, OK. Always cool to take shots at somebody sitting behind a keyboard anonymously. Please feel free to introduce yourself if you get the chance. I'd love to meet you. Somehow I'm sure that won't ever happen though.

Even the clueless guy identified 42,000 (+) tickets 'alive' before the last race (though he's sure they were all destined to win)(were it not for some longshot, I'm guessing...).
Now how about you adopt some accurate data presentation and show the nice people some reality for a pleasant switch?
And for heaven's sake, stop defending people who state that the most improbable outcome occurs when the 3rd longest shot on the board wins, and that "pay(ing) off about 42,000 ticketholders" was ever a conscious choice.

I said 10,000 was possible, not 42,000. Apparently in addition to being a dickhead your reading comprehension sucks as well. I know very well what percentage a 3 to 1 favorite is. So yes, given that percentage in a different pool, 10,000 winning tickets was quite possible.
