Presets
Winning a jackpot means matching every drawn number, and the odds are the number of possible combinations, C(pool, picks). Adding just a few numbers to the pool multiplies the odds dramatically — a 6-from-49 draw is 1 in 14 million, 6-from-59 nearly 1 in 45 million. You are far likelier to be struck by lightning, which is why lotteries are so profitable.
