What is your chances of winning the lottrey?

Answer 1

Really depends on which lottery you are playing, but generally the odds are never in your favor, which is why some people pool their lottery tickets together in attempt to increase the change of winning.

Answer 2

• This obviously depends on the lottery, since all lotteries are set up differently.

• The odds of winning the lottery is a rare occurrence. Sure, you hear about it happening to tons of people, but it's very rare. You are more likely to get struck by lightning, die in a car accident, or get robbed than win the lottery.

• A definite answer cannot be given for this question.

They are different in each state, but they are NOT good. In general the odds of winning the lotto are about 1 in 15 million.

Basically you have a better chance of being mauled by a regular bear and a polar bear in the same day than winning the lottery.

Answer 3

The probability of winning the lottery is vanishingly small; about the same odds as being struck by lightning. However, dozens of people each year are struck by lightning, and someone wins the lottery about every month.

You can calculate the odds of winning the lottery. Multiply the highest numbered ball by one number lower, times one number lower, times one number lower for as many numbers as are drawn. Then divide by the "factorial" of the number of balls. If you also have a "kicker" or "mega" number, multiply the results by the maximum number.

For example, in California the Super Lotto picks five numbered balls labeled 1 through 47, plus one "mega" number between 1 and 27.

So, 47*46*45*44*43, divided by 2*3*4*5, times 27. According to Microsoft Excel, the result is 41,416,353.

Entirely coincidentally, "one chance in 41,416,353" happens to be the published odds of the California Lottery. You must also factor in that the prize is paid out in many yearly installments; in California, 26. You may alternatively select a lump-sum payout of about one half the jackpot. So the odds are effectively double the calculated odds.

I recommend playing the California Lottery when the jackpot is above $85 million dollars. My odds of winning are still astronomical, but at least the possible reward is commensurate with the risk. PS: I neglected to factor in the federal income tax. You will pay approximately 45% of your winnings in taxes.

Answer 4

It depends on a number of factors and also if you mean winning the jackpot as opposed to winning any prize.

There are two main factors:

1) How many numbered balls are in the draw?

2) How many balls you need to get to win.

The higher these numbers are then the lower your chance of winning.

In the Australian Lottery you need six out of 45 balls which is about 1 in 8 million chance of winning. The the UK lottery you need six out of 49 balls a small change but now the odds of winning are almost 1 in 14 million.

Answer 5

It entirely depends on the game being played and the numbers in play. There are usually two types of lottery games--digits and pools. Each one has different probability rules that determine its odds.

In games that select individual digits, each digit has ten possible results (from 0 to 9). So the odds of matching any given digit is 1 in 10. For an exact order match, these odds multiply for each successive digit. Therefore, the odds of matching a 3-digit number exactly are 1 in 10×10×10, or 1 in 1,000, and the odds of matching a 4-digit number are exactly 1 in 10,000. Now, for any order matches, the 1turns into the number of possible arrangements of the number you've chosen (up to 6 for a 3-digit number, up to 24 for a 4-digit number--fewer if any of your digits repeat).

Now we get to the pool-type games (Lotto or whatever your game may be called). The idea is to select so many numbers from a pool of so many more numbers. Here, we get into a nice subject called combinatorial mathematics and specifically a handy little topic called combinations in which you're picking so many numbers out of a pool, without regard for the order in which they're picked. Wikipedia provides more detail on how one determines the precise number, but the odds of one winning such a game are exactly 1 (your combination) in the total number of combinations possible in your game. These odds become rather more complex when a second pool is employed (such as that for Mega Millions and Powerball) or when you're going for one of the lesser prizes.

Answer 6

The chances of a person winning a national lottery are often very, very low, but differ slightly from each individual lottery and depend on how many tickets have already been purchased by consumers. The chances of winning a national lottery cannot be determined easily, since the odds change day to day, and even hour to hour depending on what lottery numbers have already been purchased.

Answer 7

There are several odds related to winning cash on the UK National Lottery dependent upon the amount of the cash prize won. The odds for winning the Jackpot are 1 in 13,983,816. The odds of winning £10 are 1 in 57. The odds of winning any cash amount on the National Lottery are 1 in 54.
