Yes, the numbers are different. My point is that any event can be calculated as exceedingly unlikely if you rewind far enough back in time. But once it's happened, it's no longer an issue. You can't infer magic by looking at numbers.
Sorry, lets say there is 100% chance that a ticket will be drawn. But it is unlikely to be your ticket. Does that make sense? And yeah, once it happened, it isn't an issue. But there is no guarantee that it will happen. To think that it did happen without direction is going against what the numbers tell us about likelihood. It is almost guaranteed not to happen. You really have to have faith to assume it did.
