I was in a drawing 7 times,each time I had a one in ten chance of winning the top prize. I won the top prize 3 times. What were the odds of that happening.

The odds of it happening exactly three times = (1/10)^3 x (9/10)^4 x C(7,3) = about 1 / 43.5.
The odds of it happening at least three times = about 1 / 39.
The odds of it happening at least three times = about 1 / 39.
