Answer:

2

Explanation:

The problem states that people bought different amounts of tickets, which means that they don’t have the same probability of winning. This eliminates options 1 and 4.
This leaves us with 2 options. Because probability always has to add up to 1, number 3 doesn’t work leaving us with Option 2.
