Euromillions

[AJK]

Your odds of a win are the same for each line you buy. So if the odds were 1 million to 1 each line would be 1 million to 1. The only way your odds would increase is if the lines were combined.

Buying more lines means you have more chances at the same odds.

Which means the total odds of your ticket winning are reduced. The odds for each line are the same, but the odds for your ticket get better, the more unique lines you play.

So a ticket with one line at 1/1m has odds of 1/1m of winning the jackpot.

A ticket with two lines at 1/1m has two chances of winning the jackpot, so 2/1m, or 1/500k.

If that makes sense....

Yea, I get you. We are both right just looking at it from different angles.

Much like a roulette wheel; each number has the same odds at winning. But the more you cover the more chance you have at winning.

 

[MOOGLEYS]

Your actual odds at winning the Jackpot are 1 in 116,531,800......

Good luck...

Just logged into my Lotto account and there's £48 in there?

Dumped it all on

 

[Guerrilla]

3 lines on for tonight... fingers crossed

 

[TehBluebear]

Is the draw tonight?? Ffffff

EDIT: I thought the draw was last Friday?

 

[NexusK]

Two lines on for tonight.

I can't even begin to imagine what i could possibly spend 148 million on but i'd definitely move somewhere warm pretty much instantly.

I'd ideally have somewhere small in the UK, a place in Iceland and somewhere a little bit warmer... Would be fantastic

I can see this fast turning into another "if you won the euromillions/lotto/were left a lot of money/had millions/billions/mega bucks" thread.

Going for 3 lines, be lucky to win a couple of quid.

It's Tues and Fri, but rolled over again last Friday

 

[Bunka]

National lottery site down for anyone else?

*edit*

Never mind - stupid work filter. "Gambling"

 

[jabokai]

You do realise that all this extra money you're putting on is simply swelling the amount the "not you" person will get!?

Yeah, I'm putting on an extra line or two as well.

 

[pitchfork]

If I win I'll probably go back to university and do another degree.

That and, you know, private island, hookers, blow.

 

[rickjames]

Tonight will be my first ever Euromillions. Hope to see a return on my £10.

I don't regularly play the lottery but I fancy a lucky dip.

I know I won't win, but my god I'd be in absolute shock if I won the jackpot.

People say money can't buy you happiness but I can guarantee I'd be happy....

 

[MowyTone]

I'm in for two lines. I'm not asking for it all, just enough for a deposit to get my family on the property ladder...and a motorbike

Happiness can not be bought...






... But I would much rather cry in a ferrari.

 

[Greboth]

Everyone says money can't buy you happiness but I would like the opportunity to find out In for few lines and work syndicate, hopefully going to be more succesful than previous couple of draws.
