How much money would it take to play every number in the lottery?

Question

in the uk or europe...

Answer 1

there are over 14 million combinations of the 49 balls, so it would cost well over 14 million pounds.

Answer 2

Let's say it's the 49 combo thing and you want to play them all to make sure you win.  So say it takes a minute to do up a ticket and pay for it.  You decide to spend 12 hours a day doing this.  It'll take 53 years to do it.  That might not be what you want to devote your life to though :)

Answer 3

6 numbers are drawn at random from the set of integers between 1 and 49, which means there are 49!/(6!*(49-6)!) combinations of numbers (the draw order doesn't matter). The means that the jackpot chance is 1 in 13,983,816 or approximately 1 in 14 million. So with a combination of 14 million numbers, you need 14 million pounds to pay for them all, so unless you have that much money, and the jackpot is higher than this....There is no point (: Good luck!

Hi,

There are many don’ts that you should know in order to do all the right things when you decide to go for a pick 4 lottery

game. One thing that is to be followed is that one should never go for the commonest patterns of number selection. Mathematical sequences are to be avoided. Even geometrical patterns are to be avoided. If you look at a calendar and then go for all the numbers that you find belonging to a certain geometrical pattern you might think you have made a very good selection of numbers but let me tell you that you are very wrong in thinking that as because many others would also do the same thing and go for almost the same geometrical patterns if not exactly the same ones. And then your chances of winning a big amount of money are reduced to the lower levels. The more people win with the same numbers the lesser your amount of prize gets. So this is one of the don’t s to be remembered and applied while choosing the right combination for your play.

Throwing away the loosing tickets of the last game is a dumb idea as you should always store the tickets of the loosing games at least for the length of a year. Keep a separate place to store your lottery tickets – even those that have let you down. Later on you can use these to save some money. If you have lottery winning, the losing tickets can get you valuable tax deductions. For instance, if you win $1,000, but have $600 worth of losing tickets, you can add up those losses and only pay taxes on $400 worth of lottery winnings. Lottery losses can be used as deductions to offset winnings for the same year in which they were purchased. The losing tickets may give you another chance to win. Sometimes, states will carry out promotions in which players send in losing tickets to be qualified for special contests or drawings.

Buying thousands or even hundreds of tickets for a single pick 4 game is not a very decent idea at all. Because it might increase your chances at a win but still you will face just the similar odds. So wasting the amount of money that you need to buy hundreds of tickets is a sheer waste of that valuable money. Sometimes it might happen that you will win back only the fraction half of what you had spent over buying the tickets and that surely is a big loss. You will most certainly regret this decision after wards. So it is better to use the wheeling system and choose the numbers on the few tickets that you are going to buy rather than buying hundreds of tickets at random.

Another thing that many people do is just give up. After failing to win any prize or any big prize in the first few tries they just give up on pick 4 and stop buying tickets at all. They usually complain that they do not have the luck to win the pick 4. But this is not a very good approach to lottery winning. Everybody learns after loosing at a few chances. So you need to stick to it. Gradually you will learn a lot with the help of these experiences as well as the online tips that you get from people like me who are at it for so many years. You should remember that if you play you can win but if you stop playing you are never ever going to win any prizes.

  

Good Luck & have fun!
