To understand how the odds pile up, you should know how lotteries work. First, you buy a ticket. This ticket will have numbers within a certain range. Choose the numbers you want to play within this range. When the drawing is maintained, the winning numbers will be selected randomly within this same range. If the numbers you chose match all of the winning numbers - you win the jackpot jackpot. You can also win smaller prizes by matching some of the numbers drawn. So your chances depend on how many tickets were sold for that particular draw and (unknown to anyone) how many other people have tickets with the winning numbers.
