So if you had a spare 14m (just go with me here lol)
and the jackpot was more than double the 14m, say after a few roll overs
would it be worth doing to make more money?
How many combinations are there for the Euromillions 'cos thats usually over 28m prize money?
The lotto has 6 numbers
The Euro lottery has 5 numbers but 2 bonus balls
Could you manage to find a way to put that many tickets on in a week.
How many combinations are there for each lottery.
Given the time and expertise putting on tickets then as long as you win more money with the prize win than it cost to buy then you come out a winner.
You will scoop various ammounts of winnings as well. But then what if there are multiple jackpot winners.
When the lottery 1st started my Mum wrote down all the winning numbers, I then decided to put them into supercalc on my amstrad 1640 super compuyer. (Twin 5.25 floppy drives)
and did an average of the numbers divided by weeks played, supercalc then threw up the question did I want to play the a round number High/low. So went high. Had we have gone low we would have had 5 numbers but did win a tenner. We should have done both.
Was lucky we know it never happened again.
