I have a question that I hope someone can answer and explain to me how you
arrived at answer
There is a raffle with 50 entries
I know the odds of drawing 1 ticket is 1 in 50
What I want to know is what are the odds of drawing a particular ticket last if
after             drawing 1 it does not back in box and then drawing a 2nd one
and             removing it from box and so forth until only 1 is left in box
This truly happened in a raffle in my town
Thanks for info
Please Email me answer if you can
