Two large lotteries in my area:
Lotto Max: 1:33,294,800
Lotto 649 1:14,000,000 (excluding the smaller pool draws of 5/6, 4/6, etc) One ticket as the width of a human hair (60-80 µm). The winning numbers are a hole the width of a human hair. The odds of winning 1:14m is hitting another hair head on in a line 14,000,000×0.00007 m=980 meters wide. (~840 meters to ~1,120 meters) The odds of winning 1:33.3m is hitting another hair head on in a line 33,294,800×0.00007 m=2,330.636 meters wide. (1,998 meters to ~2,664 meters) (calculations by ChatGPT) If I buy a ticket, it's so I can daydream for myself. |
