~insert fake statistics here~

Well, the chance for being drawn twice in a row out of 14 people is 1/14*1/14= 1/196, times whatever number there was above somewhere.
Or maybe not. I'm not very good with math.
There were 14 entries total right?

There were 365, but your math is correct.

If only it was 14 entries, and they were all me and my alts...

I meant 14 winners, sorry lol

Well, the chance for being drawn twice in a row out of the 14 people that won would be 1/14*1/14= 1/196, times 1/133225.
Or maybe not. I'm not very good with math.
But if I'm right, 1/133225 * 1/196 =

@I pwned U! had a 1 in 26,112,100 chance. Bravo.

Found online:
■ "The odds of two amateurs in the same foursome sinking a hole in one on the same par 3 hole are 1 in 26 million, according to the association."

Maybe someone should correct my incorrect math, though lol

mmmh
I dont know, because if your logic is correct, then there wasnt 1/365 chance to get drawn, but 1/365 * 1/14 to get drawn once
but we all know it isnt

my alts...

Your alts, huh....

Its a 1 in 365 to win each drawing. One winner out of a pool of 365 people.

ik, but what i mean is, if drawing twice the same number in a row is
1/365*1/365*1/14*1/14
then just being drawn once would be
1/365*1/14
which isn't right
so I doubt it's the right calculation for being drawn twice in a row

congrats winners ^^

congrats not me
joke, in all seriousness, congratulation @strayofthesun you made lot of people jealous

1/365*1/14

this calculation is the probability of being drawn for one specific item. This could be the probability for winning a nintendo switch.

1/365*1/365*1/14*1/14

This is the probability of being drawn twice for two specific items. The equation we are looking for should be:

Where '!' represents the factorial;
(14!/(14-2)!)/(365!/(365-2)!)
182/132860

Your final chances are 182/132860.
Can be simplified into
1/730?

I probably did that wrong...

well, 1/730 = 0.5/365
