You are in a lucky draw there is a 0.02% chance that you can win you have 10 tickets. From logic we can say that 0.02 power 10 but should I not have a higher chance of winning the lucky draw can you please explain.

The formula you’re describing is to calculate the probability of winning that same lottery 10 times in a row. So of course it’s really small.

In your case the probability is just 0.02% to win that particular lottery. The actual probability of winning would be:

Number of tickets you have/Number of overall combinations of numbers in the lottery
