The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 out of 175,223,510. That means there are 175,223,510 possibleRead More ticket combinations. The ticket 1-2-3-4-5 P:6 has the same odds as any random six digit ticket that you may be holding right now. That means your ticket is just as unlikely as the seemingly impossible 1-2-3-4-5-6. Because there are 104 tickets drawn per year (2 per week X 52 weeks) it will take a minimum of 1,689,534 YEARS before every possible combination is drawn. Knowing this, I still but a ticket because the excitement it is worth the $2 and, as a poker play would know, you are getting the correct "pot odds" to make this play.
