    The odds of getting struck by lightning in any given year are approximately 1 in 500,000. Most people live their entire lives without getting struck even once. Now, the chance of winning Lotto 6/49 is equivalent to getting struck by lightning 28 times in a year. Just imagine that.

    If you invest $ 14 million dollars ofand play all the combinations of lotto 6/49, you would defintely win the jackpot. But the issue is that you would lose $13 million and worse if someone wins the jackpot, he/she will share the $ 1 million with you. Therefore, It is not worth investing a lot of money. It takes only one combination to win if you are extremely lucky.

    I don’t understand why you have to devided by 720 if theres 49 number your chances of picking the first number is 49 since one of the number have pick number cannot be double. Your chances on second number is 48 ect .ect .
    So 49x48x47x46x45x44=10,068,347,520
    Example if the number to choose is only up to 10 and you only need to choose 1 how many chane do you have then it will be 10
    Then what about if you have to pick 2 numbers your chances is 90. The chances are
    1-2 1-3 1-4 1-5 1-6 1-7 1-8 1-9 1-10…ect
    2-1 2-3 2-4 2-4 2-6 2-7 2-8 2-9 2-10….
    I believe that your formula. Who is a teacher here tell me im wrong and explain to me why you have to devided by 720.

    I understand your calculations, you are justifying the government. Now, that is somewhat false because often, there is no winner. So the odds are quite often 0 - zero.
    To say that the odd is on out of close to 14 million, presuppose there is a winner. The reality is that not all combinations are purchased, then the odds that someone wins is quite a lot more than the Lotto propaganda, in my opinion, but I am not math inclined, you are.

    When they control which number to give and computer programs controls the output. They control when to give the jackpot. How always when no winner, numbers are 5 6 7 in row you know something going on.

    What's the point? Who cares, it is the winning numbers that matter. My best advice pick your numbers from the previous 10 winning lines.
