Ken asks…Why do people still refer to UK trains as British Rail?did nobody tell them it's been privatised for the past 15+ yearsJack Roth answers:It is mainly down to stupidity; these are the same people who turn up at railway stations with no clue how to get to their destination, despite the information being readily available.

Your Questions About Uk Lottery
Laura asks…What are my chances of being the sole winner of the UK lottery?I know it is about 14 million to 1 against my ticket winning, but what is it against being the only winner.Jack Roth answers:The number of tickets matching the winning numbers is given by the poisson probability, where there are N tickets sold
λ = N / (13 983 816)
P(no of winners (n)) = λ^n e^(-λ) / n!
Assuming 60 million ticket sales
P(1 winner) = λe^(-λ) = 0.0587637326
so if you win and 60 million tickets
λ = N / (13 983 816)
P(no of winners (n)) = λ^n e^(-λ) / n!
Assuming 60 million ticket sales
P(1 winner) = λe^(-λ) = 0.0587637326
so if you win and 60 million tickets
