The Obama 666 Illinois Lottery result - a statistical view
Since his election in 2008, a few people have suggested that President Obama is the Antichrist because of a lottery result in his home state of Illinois, the day after his election. Some have mistakenly given the odds of this as being in the millions, others have even gone so far as to say that such an event could not occur by chance!
So let’s break this down at a high school math level.
The Illinois lottery uses a three-digit draw. This means that each draw gives out a number between 000 and 999 – there are 1000 such numbers. Since a lottery must be a fair draw (if certain numbers came up more than others, then people would notice and only buy those numbers!), we know that the chance of drawing 666 is exactly the same as drawing any other number – it’s 1-in-1000. The chance of a single lottery result being 666 on a particular day in a particular state is 1-in-1000.
However, the Illinois lottery has two picks a day, a midday pick and an evening pick. This halves the odds of drawing 666 on a particular day, to 1-in-500. (Imagine if we have a pair of dice and are betting on rolling a six; if you roll two dice, your chances of getting a six are twice as good as with just the one.) The chance of one of two lottery results being 666 on a particular day in a particular state is 1-in-500.
1-in-500 odds are still pretty high! However, we also need to factor in the PETWHAC, the “Population of Events That Would Have Appeared Coincidental”. It’s easy for someone to say after the fact that a sign of the antichrist is “a lottery draw in his home state the day after his election”, but in reality the same person would have been equally (if not more!) convinced by “a lottery draw in his home state on the day of his election“, or “a lottery draw in Washington the day after his election”.
Taking the latter, if we accept either that a 666 result in either the candidate’s home state or the state of Washington would be a significant event, then the odds are simply halved. (Instead of rolling two dice to get a 6, we are rolling four – two dice in Illinois and two in Washington.) The chance of a single lottery result being 666 on a particular day in a significant state is 1-in-250.
Now how about the date? A lottery drawing a 666 result the day after an election is surprising; drawing it the day before would also be seen as significant, and drawing it on the day itself even better! If any of these three days would be accepted, then we are now rolling three times as many dice – four on Monday, four on Tuesday and four on Wednesday. The chance of a single lottery result being 666 on the day of a president’s election – or the day before or after it – in a significant state is 1-in-83.
Further dilution of the odds are left as an exercise to the reader, but the fact is, I hope, clear that the odds of a particular president having the number 666 crop up in a personally significant lottery result are certainly no greater than 1-in-83.

stupid and ugly trolling
I say don’t speak when you talk.
Shut up when you speak it’s too ugly and stupid when you talk like this article: it’s pure garbage nothign else not worth even using for paper for arsewipe
Thanks for your stupid and ugly trolling, sir. Do you take any particular issue with my math or logic here, or is “I would like not like to use your internet article to wipe my arse” the full extent of your rebuttal?
Heaven spoke to Moses through miracles.
The lottery spoke through a miracle.
What is that miracle?
It’s that the most powerful man was elected at the same time.
If a miracle can be explained as a very-low-odds coincidence, then I don’t think any sane religious thinker would still call it a miracle. Burning bush, water-into-wine, raising the dead, sure. But an amazing lottery coincidence that turns out to be 1-in-83 when you stop to think about it? Not so much.
A poster who makes one article every year is not a serious poster. It’s a troll and CIA shill.
How explain positng to all my artilces 24 7 and mostly to the Antichrist articles. Suspicious.
Very suspicious. I smell a troll and CIA Obama-mole.
Obama’s the greatest criminal of Humanity’s history and blacks haven’t ever done any right in history of the world.
There’ snever been a successful black leader in the world. Even less Obama.
Mandela ruined the richest African country and among the richest worldwide. Highest rate of AIDS worldwide thee now. Thanks “Mandie”.
Mandela’s a big piece of rancid feces.
He’s a criminal who killed people and was jailed 28 years.
Why support that piece of garbage, Obama? He’s no better than Mandela the murderer.
Because the world wants to make up to blacks for slavery doesn’t mean my world has to be ruined too.
GEIR YOU ARE FKN COOL.

Nice article Geeper. I’m glad someone finally put the statistics together. I thought it was 1 in 1000 but your math is spot on.
KOS you are a classic shilll. You know why you post articles 24/7 and that is because you have no life. You are a sad little Frenchie who better watch his mouth because there are laws in France against internet defamation.
Geeper, keep up the good work and keep spreading the Truth!
