From the given each urn would contain 10 numbers (that is, from 0 to 9). The total number of sample points in the sample space can be calculated through the fundamental principles of counting.

We simply multiply the number of numbers in each urn since there is no restriction.
sample space = 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000

Thus, there are 1000 possible outcomes for the lottery.
