Flojo Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 The chances of winning the Euromillions are 1 in 116,531,800. Then when you factor in how a lot of people use Birthdays, memorable dates as a way of picking their numbers I reckon it's fair to say a lot of people are only picking numbers from 1 to 31. They don't really need to fix it tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yung bawse Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Them odds dont mean anything because thats off 1 ticket winning.. Factoring in that there are millions and millions of tickets means the odds for the lottery to be won by anybody is a lot lower.. Then the odds keep getting smaller and smaller with each roll over.. Thats why more often than not it only rolls over a couple times cuz the chances of no one winning it say 5 times in a row are prob slim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lieutenant Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Lmao nah YB read your words bro Makes 0 sense Whether 1 person Or 100million people play the lottery YOUR odds of winning remain the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yung bawse Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I already pointed that out first a few pages ago.. But the more people that play the odds on the lottery being won go down.. Your individual chances dont change but the chances of a roll over etc do.. The chance of a roll over may be fair.. But each time the odds of another roll over get slimmer and slimmer.. 5 roll overs isnt likely so COULD be fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yung bawse Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Fam.. Saying the odds on YOU winning the lottery is 272737378283833/1 has no relation to the odds of the lottery being won by anybody.. Its not hard to understand.. Them big odds are for 1 combination of numbers to win but millions of different combinations are played @dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benicio del Toney Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Let's be real though, who cares about the odds of the lottery being won by somebody. Only thing I care about is my odds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yung bawse Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Put it this way If the lottery was 1million/1 (a million different combinations of numbers, 500k people played it each with a different combination of numbers.. The chances of the that lottery being won would be evens because theres a 50% chance, so saying "it cant be fixed its a million/1" would be pointless in a discussion about roll overs Thats enough internet tonight for me anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
