Since there is 24360 permutations, and 2 of the balls actually have number of a first one, the only way is to divide 24360 by 3, which gives us 8120 combinations. Still it is not 1000.

If we have 10 balls, then 10X9X8= 720 combinations, where order of the numbers matters. I multiply 3 upper numbers because game calls for three numbers chosen in a combination.If I use your method, then I should 720 X 720 X 720=373 millions approximately.

This game has options where order of numbers does no... [ More ]

If 30 ping pong balls with three balls each having one digit between 0 and 9 were put into a container and just three were drawn, there are 24,360 permutations. But that doesn't change the fact there are only 1000 possible outcomes.

000-999= 1,000 combos total. I have no idea what kind of math you are using, but it doesn't work.

First column-10

Second column-10

Third column-10

10X10=100, 100X10=1000

1000? You are a dreamer.

That makes 30 numbers, which create a lot more, 24360 possible combinations.

Those 30 digits are equally distributed in groups of 10 with each group having the same 10 digits. 10 times 10 times 10 equals 1000.

I understand what you're saying but in either game you'll probably collect less than 50% of your total wagers.

Cash 3 fools naive players by showing only what seems to be 9 numbers, but are actually 10. If only those 10 numbers were involved, there would be 720 combinations to guess among, very little. However, each number , apparently, can come up twice in one combination, and even 3 times! That makes 30 numbers, which create a lot more, 24360 possible combinations.

Still, if we compare 24.360 combinations in Cash 3 to Fantasy 5, where 36 numbers create a whooping 376.992 combinations, due to larger
