Ah I get it, thanks a lot. The lottery chances "resetting" after the first win actually makes sense to me.
I think that's where my head gets confused. If I saw a plane crash I'd think of it as "well there's no chance of two of that thing happening today!" Rather than " it's still just as likely to happen today."

Nah but ignoring all that.
Like say it crashed but the after effects weren't taken into account.

But not before right?
I'm not arguing, this just always kind of messes up my head.
Like the changes of me winning two lottery being the same because the chances of winning the lottery are the same for each ticket.
But how likely is it that someone who plays the lottery all of their life wins, and how likely is it that they win twice?

But what are the chances that two different planes will crash at the same airport in one day?

You can have Stereo audio just come through one ear. It doesn't mean the amount of headphones it comes out of, it's whether the sound is a mono channel or a Stereo channel.

Whenever I was hiring people "That's a really good question" was said because it was so rare anyone would actually have a decent question.
