Boston only had 10 balls.

The lottery order starts from 14 and Boston is picked right away.

How is that possible when Boston had less than 1% of the balls in the bin.

Would it not have increased the odds that Toronto would have been selected to pick #14 based on odds?

I'm even more confused now than ever about the lottery.
Each team had a combination of 4 numbers. Toronto had 200 different combinations and Boston only had 10
