This line in particular really just showed to me what Mega really thinks of its customers: The overall chances of winning, as well as the chances of winning a $1 million prize, got better. Because we all know people are playing for that $1 million pot over local games with better odds. The gall to write something like that is something else.
You know they sell more tickets than the odds of winning. The odds of winning are one in tens of millions. The number of tickets sold per drawing is at least 500 million when the jackpot gets large and yet no one wins or only 1-2 people win. For the odds shown, at least 10 winners should win by Quickpick.

So you have a 1-in-302,575,350 chance of winning and a 302,575,349-in-302,575,350 chance of losing. What are the chances that you'll lose after n trials, playing the same numbers? (302,575,349 / 302,575,350)^n As n goes to infinity, that number drops to 0. Which means that if the game is truly fair, then your numbers should win.
That is 302.6 million times as probable as you winning with one set of numbers. If you buy 50% of all the possible combinations you will have a 50% chance of winning. So if you buy 151.3 million different sets of numbers your chance of winning is 151.3 million times as probable as if you bought one ticket. 4. Reply.

To put it another way, you're 3X more likely to win a prize with Lucky For Life. Plus, many of the lower tier prizes that are similar in amount to ...
The chance to get 5-5 if you already know that you had same eyes is 1/6. Together that gives 1/36. Likewise, the chance to not get same eyes is 30/36 = 5/6. The chance to get an outcome such as 4-5 if you already know that you didn't get same eyes is 1/30. Together it gives 5/6 * 1/30 = 1/36.
The chances of winning after you buy is 1/1001. You added a ticket so you added your score. If you buy 1000 tickets, then your chances are 1000/2000, because you added to the total. You buying a larger number doesn't (usually) increase other purchases. So if you were to buy enough to maximize your rate of return, chances are you will absolutely ...
Funny thing is 4 Mega Millions jackpots were won in January 2023. Multiple people can win jackpots within 4 weeks, then it could go 4 months without a single jackpot winner. In a cycle of 300 million lottery tickets, with a 1 in 300 million chance at a jackpot, you can expect 1 jackpot winner every 300 million tickets sold, or $600 million ...
