To win the Maryland Powerball® Lottery, you must select your own six numbers to play. Most people use numbers that are special to them, like anniversary dates or their children's birth dates. On the day of the lottery, the lottery officials randomly select five white balls, each with a number somewhere between 1 and 59, and one red Powerball® with a number somewhere between 1 and 35. You win a prize by matching some or all of the numbers drawn. Would winning the lottery be an example of a random phenomenon?
