5 Main Numbers + Mega Ball (Jackpot)

1 in 302,575,350

The odds for this prize level are directly influenced by the Mega Ball. Therefore the variables associated with the main ball pool and those associated with the separate Mega Ball pool must be taken into account in order to calculate the correct odds, hence the following formula is used (Please note: calculations have been rounded):

C(n,r)

C(r,m) × C(n-r, r-m)

C(t,b)

C(b,d) × C(t-b,b-d)

C(n,r) = Odds of correctly choosing r balls from n
n = Number of balls in the main pool
r = Balls drawn from the main pool
m = Balls to be matched from the main pool

t = Number of balls in the bonus pool
b = Balls drawn from the bonus pool
d = Balls to be matched from the bonus pool

C(70,5)

C(5,5) × C(70-5, 5-5)

C(25,1)

C(1,1) × C(25-1, 1-1)

Substitute: n for 70 (number of balls in the main pool)
r for 5 (balls drawn from the main pool)
m for 5 (balls to be matched from the main pool)

t for 25 (number of balls in the bonus pool)
b for 1 (balls drawn from the bonus pool)
d for 1 (balls to be matched from the bonus pool)

d for 1 (balls to be matched from the bonus pool)

70!

5! × (70-5)!

0! × (5-0)!

65!

5! × (65-5)!

25!

1! × (25-1)!

1! × (1-1)!

24!

0! × (24-0)!

Expand: C(70,5) = 70! ÷ (5! × (70-5)!)
C(5,0) = 5! ÷ (0! × (5-0)!)
C(70-5, 5-0) = 65! ÷ (5! × (65-5)!)

C(25,1) = 25! ÷ (1! × (25-1)!)
C(1,1) = 1! ÷ (1! × (1-1)!)
C(25-1, 1-1) = 24! ÷ (0! × (24-0)!)

! means 'Factorial' eg: 70! = 70 × 69 × 68 ... × 1
Note: 0! = 1

12,103,014

1 × 8,259,888

1 × 1

Simplify: 70! ÷ (5! × (70-5)!) = 12,103,014
5! ÷ (0! × (5-0)!) = 1
65! ÷ (5! × (65-5)!) = 8,259,888

25! ÷ (1! × (25-1)!) = 25
1! ÷ (1! × (1-1)!) = 1
24! ÷ (0! × (24-0)!) = 1

302,575,350

8,259,888

Calculate: (12,103,014 ÷ (1 × 8,259,888)) × (25 ÷ (1 × 1)) = 37

How to use the Lotto Odds Calculator

Enter the number of balls to be drawn Enter the total number of balls from which these are drawn Choose the total number of prize levels the lottery has, eg: Match 6, Match 5, Match 4 and Match 3 would be 4 levels If the lottery includes 'bonus' numbers eg: a Powerball, tick the "include bonus balls" box If the box has been ticked, a dropdown menu will appear in a similar style to the original fields.

Finally, select the name of the bonus number from the remaining dropdown box Click the "Calculate Odds" button to view the odds, or to start again, click Reset.

Alternatively you can choose a lottery from the "Popular Lotteries" dropdown menu at the bottom of the form to quickly input the variables for your chosen lottery and auto-display the odds table.

*Please note, the overall odds of winning a prize does not take into account the chance of winning guaranteed prizes (for lotteries that offer them), because the odds of winning a raffle prize fluctuates based on how many tickets were purchased for each draw.
