I have to tell now. This is what the mistake I made when calculating the permutation thing just using a pen and paper (no calculator around), in order to simplyfy I skipped few zeros initially with an intend to bring them back, but forgot and had 14 thousands as my answer!!! I was amazed. I thought if I could buy all 14thousand tickets, with all possibilities in hand, i am a sure winner, and it was rollover jackpot week... Balan still laughs..

this time, I am using a different logic, I will tell you later. I just can't give up that yet. I will buy ticket after I have finished this "thing"..
