    Default what are the chances of winning the lottery?

    I don't really know how to work it out, I mean all 6 numbers and the bonus ball, what are the chances? just wondering as I really wouldn't have a clue how to work it out.

    well there's loads of different lotteries but for the normal 'lotto', there's a 1 in 13,983,816 chance.
    for euro millions it's a staggering 1 in 76,275,360 chance, yikes!

    I don't know the figures but I heard somewhere that if you're an average 30 year old male sat down to watch the lottery draw you're more likely to die than win the jackpot

    I read something similar but it was "you're more likely to get ran over by a bus than win the lottery" which is quite depressing.

    Yeah, there's a higher chance you'll die whilst watching the draw than actually winning the jackpot.

    Wow, that just goes to show what your real chances are. Even if you did win, you would probably have spent more on tickets overall anyway. :L

    You might as well just enter the Habbox Lottery - woo better odds

    Never mind 5 balls and the bonus ball, I'd be happy with 3 cos I never get them
