    You're making 2 different comparisons here.


    First a simplified lottery example cause it's the easiest to explain (this isnt how AST works btw:
    Let's say i put 10 marbles into a bag and one if them is red. If you draw the red marble you win, if you dont, you get to keep the marble. Since the marbles don't go back into the bag, if you played 10 times you would absolutely win.

    AST doesnt work like that though. A simple comparison to AST RNG would be more like: You flip a coin 2 times, what is the chance of it landing on heads at least once? You determine this by first finding all possible outcomes (this is very comparable to the ast example i gave you because if you want 1 of 3 cards in a deck of 6 i.e. 3/6 = 1/2):
    Heads, Heads
    Heads, Tails
    Tails, Heads
    Tails, Tails

    ^ There are 3 combinations out of 4 possible outcomes that hit heads at least once. 3/4 is a 75% chance.
