5/50 x 4/49 x 3/48 x 2/47 x 1/46 x 2/9 x 1/8 = 76,275,360

A 1 in 76,000,000 chance of winning many millions of pounds

That means there is 76,000,000 different number combinations. This would cost £1.50 (a ticket) x 76,000,000 = £114,000,000 (Total cost)

Now lets say the jackpit has rollver over for a few weeks, i remember it being £118 million before. THen if you bought all the tickets are you guranteed to make a profit?

Points to take into acount are if someone esle wins it splits.

HOWEVER youll also have many many other tickets which will have won, for example winning numbers are 1,2,3,4,5 1,2

You win jackpot in 1,2,3,4,5 1,2 ticket but also win on your
1,2,3,4,8, 1,2 ticket too… taking your winning to much much more than the £118 million jackpot?

Then you have all your small winning too, add these up and surely it is a guranteed profit?
