    00 to 99 are 100 numbers.

    If you match the first number only, you win $200. The Probability for this is 1/100.

    If you match the first two numbers and not the third, you win $5000. The Probability for this is 1/50.

    If you match all three numbers, you win $100,000. The Probability for this is 3/100.

    And, If you are a customer, You will think is fair for you.

    But if you are the lottery tickets company, you will think is not fair for you.

    It depends who you are.
