They would say a very rare event happened, like seventeen yo's in a row. After all someone wins Powerball occasionally too.
The odds of winning tomorrow's powerball are (is?) approx. 1 in 292 million (1 in 292,201,338 to be exact). The odds of the next sequence of rolls being 18 yo's in a row is 1 in 3.9346408e+22 (or 1 in ~39,346,408,000,000,000,000,000). Actually, it's less likely than that, since that doesn't include the 17/18 chance of not seeing a yo on the 19'th roll.
You are 460,829 times more likely to win the powerball
two times in a row than you are to see the 18 yo's in a row.
Next we're going to hear Alan flipped a fair coin and it landed on heads 100 times in a row.
