What are your chances of winning a UK Lottery jackpot?

[keys]

Answer: One in 45 million (previously it was one in 14 million)

Such numbers are too large for most players to comprehend

There are 86,400 seconds in a day (24 x 60 x 60)

At a rate of 86,400 per day it would take 527 days to include all 45 million combinations

527 days from now - 23 May 2018


Chances of winning a Euromillions jackpot are much smaller

One in 116 million

1349 days from now - 2 August 2020

Nominet members are quite wealthy compared to national lottery players..

"Studies have shown that if you are upper and middle class, you are less likely to partake in a lotto draw than someone who is working class.

And finally… people on benefits are 4% more likely to buy a ticket than those who are not."

Lottery purchases are a voluntary tax, and a shocking waste of money

Marketing and avarice totally obscure hopeless reality

£5 every week = £260 per year (the average spend)

£2600 over 10 years, many have sqandered a lot more than that

I would rather make donations to charity

Aye Jools, the chances of you dying on the way to get a lottery ticket is greater than you actually winning it
