Thanks, man this helped me out a lot. I always end up learning more things about excel at random like this but the knowledge really comes in handy and this particular video was really direct which I appreciated.

I was unsure if I was going to understand this video when I was unclear of the definition of discrete distribution. Thank you for explaining it at the start of the video. Also it is very helpful that you show how to set a ribbon up if it is not already there. I would have no idea how to find it otherwise.

Winner of a video, I have been researching "lotto systems" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Zenulian Lottify Bonkers - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my m8 got excellent success with it.
