do all the lottery results have the same odds

409 views

I was thinking do all the results have the same odds in say a standard 8 ball lottery, it feels like to me you’re less likely to get a sequential set (eg. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, not necessarily drawn in that order) than get a heap of balls at random, it just makes me wonder if the odds are the same or if I’m over thinking.

No, all of them have the same odds. However the estimated yield scales with how often saif combination is chosen by others since the reward is shared. The easiest example is picking a common combination, winning the jackpot and getting very little money for it because a lot of people chose the same combination.

Disclainer. Lotteries are a scam and the only thing you are buying is hope and dreams. Not chances. Anyone arguing that doesnt know or chooses to ignore how miniscule those probabilities are.
