Is there any mathematics behind lottery Odds?

[Mike_25]

While lottery winnings seem dreamily improbable, do the odds really stack so imperfectly against the player? Though tiny, odds of winning exist mathematically. But are lottery odds calculated by chance alone, or do patterns govern the numbers? Do certain combinations offer better odds? If the odds will always defeat the player in the long run, what keeps hope alive and tickets selling? Is the dream worth the cost?

 

[James108]

There are entire fields of mathematics devoted to studying probability and statistics, which are both used to calculate lottery odds. In general, the odds of winning the lottery are calculated by dividing the number of possible combinations by the number of winning combinations.
