Whats the chance of winning the lottery???

Every lottery ticket is either a winner or a loser. So, the odds are 50/50.

the odds of you pinpointing a the single second in a month is 1 in 2.5 million

Answer 5

It depends on the lottery.

Some of the state specific lotteries (ie not Megamillions and Powerball) can be a few million to one.  But the big ones like Megamillions and Powerball have odd of over 150m-1.  Very slim indeed.

It is not uncommon to buy tickets regularly over an entire life time, and never win a significant prize.

Answer 7
