Odds of winning jackpot
[edit]The jackpot is to match the 6 selected number among the 49 numbers, 13,983,816 to 1 (13 million to 1), definitely not the mentioned 429,502,920 to 1.
Calculation: 6/49 × 5/48 × 4/47 × 3/46 × 2/45 × 1/44 = 720/10,068,347,520 = 1/13,983,816 Holunduck 20:38, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
