I believe In the context of lottery games, independent events refer to situations where the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of another. For instance, the selection of winning numbers in a lottery draw is independent because each draw is random and does not influence future draws. This means that past results do not impact the probability of future outcomes. In practical terms, if a specific number has won in previous games, it does not have any increased or decreased chance of winning in subsequent draws; each draw operates under the same probabilities.

Absolutely, you have described the concept of independent events in lottery games very well. In such games, each event - such as the drawing of winning numbers - is considered independent because the outcome of one event has no impact on the outcome of another. This means that the likelihood of a particular number being drawn in a lottery game remains constant regardless of past outcomes. Each draw is a fresh and separate event with its own set of probabilities, and previous results do not affect the odds of future outcomes. This fundamental principle ensures that the lottery remains a fair and random game of chance where all possible outcomes have equal chances of occurring.
