The chance of picking the six winning numbers from the 49 balls in the UK National Lottery is one in 13,983,816 - on the other hand, the odds of selecting no balls???

One of the beauties of watching these videos is the knowledge that thousands of mathematical equations and formulae have to work in order for us to see them, and we do. Maths succeeds in letting us see these videos about it. It's a further emphasis of how wonderful and important the world of numbers is to all of us every day.

You are shown these two shots in reverse order. If that's what you're focused on, however, then you're not focusing on the right thing...

Our lottery rewards a payout if you get 3 out of 6 for $5 from a $1 dollar investment. 1 in 185 odds. If you match one and match the "Powerball" 1:74 you get $2 back. Match only the Powerball, you get your dollar back 1:49 odds Lotteries are taxes on the innumerate.

@nessdude14 12 жыл бұрын

Once a given number has been drawn for the lottery, it's no less likely for that number to appear again, so if you pick the same number that was drawn last week, you can expect to have the exact same probability of winning as with any other number you could possibly pick. Basically, the moral is that you can't change your probability of winning the lottery; No matter which set of numbers you pick, you'll have exactly the same probability of winning, due to the random nature of drawing a ball.

I had briefly started to investigate the idea of analyzing lottery results to try to find patterns. My theory was that the machines(or their operating procedures) might be flawed, and give some numbers a greater or lesser chance of showing up. Such a flaw should be identifiable from a large set of historical results, and using it to guide number selection should vastly improve your odds. But given where the odds start, vastly improving them is still a tiny chance of winning.

I agree with that last statement. People say that buying lottery tickets is just a tax on the poor and that you should just stop. Well, to a lot of people, buying a lottery ticket and being able to just dream and having that hope of winning, is actually a greater stress reliever than Zanex could ever give you because you have given yourself the ability to win, however small. Now of course don't go spending a lot, but a one or two dollar ticket can do wonders between buying it and the drawing.

It also comes down to the fact that the method of using the balls to choose the winners still being used is simply due to the randomness. We see the same number appearing and think well it cant really be random then can it, but if the same number appears often and in a short time it actually proves it is random. If we chose to switch it to a computerized system it would only be simulating randomness and a real pattern would appear it may be hard to find but it could be used to cheat.

The odds of winning once on that ticket were 4:1, or so they say. But hey, I went up to the 7/11, collected my $50, and bought my sister coffee haha

There are 13,983,816 possible sets of numbers that can be drawn for the lottery. One of these possible sets is going to turn up at random. No matter what number set you pick, the probability of that specific set being picked is 1 out of 13,983,816, since your set is one out of that number of possible random sets which might show up. An ordered set (such as 1,2,3,4,5,6) is still one possibility out of 13.983,816 numbers, so the probability for that set is equally likely compared to any other set.

Here in America, the powerball is much, much, much harder to win odds wise. Not only is it out of 59 numbers, but the first number HAS to match as the first number picked (the powerball), on top of matching the rest of the numbers

@JMcMillen 10 жыл бұрын

No it doesn't. The Powerball is a 5+1 drawing. They draw 5 numbers from a pool of 59 numbers plus one additional number from a separate pool of 35. They may draw the +1 first (I've never watched the drawing) but it's still separate from the other 5 numbers.

After looking at how the lottery numbers here in Aus are distributed over a 30 year period I was really surprised to see that firstly, on each individual draw numbers of similar value tend to group together. Next, by looking at how many times each number had been drawn over time, there seemed to be a relatively even probability regardless of which number it was and not a Gaussian based distribution as I expected. It's really a fascinating way to get into numbers, and this video helps even more!

Is there a difference between a random process and a process whose mechanism is unknown, especially over a short run or a single instance? Etc...

You can do it either way as long as you're consistent. This was the "order matters" approach. So there were 6! good orderings out of a possible 49*48*47*46*45*44 orderings. The "order doesn't matter" approach says there's 1 good combination out of (49 6) possible combinations. Either method results in the same calculation.

The issue comes with defining "random." Random means that previous results have no impact on future results, so that there is as much a chance of picking a number one off as there is any other number. What looks "random" to us, meaning significantly different, isn't actually random. You can use the same math to figure the odds of getting one-offs, as stated in the video, 2 in however many balls (1 off 5 would be 4 or 6, so 2 winners.) You'll find your odds are significantly better, obviously.

Do you think the chances go up or down if you continue to pick the same numbers every week?

@jasonthomas2908 Жыл бұрын

Bit late to the party... the chances will always be the same, if the game is truly random

From looking at the lottery ticket, it seems that the order in which the numbers are selected or drawn does not matter, and so their calculation should be correct. Other lotteries don't necessarily work that way, though.

Here in Brazil we have a saying about people that play the lottery: "Lottery is a tax for people who don't know probability". For me it's quite true. And here the lottery is worst, it's played with 60 numbers...

why didn't you just use the formula for combinations? much easier

@alspezial2747 5 жыл бұрын

if im not mistaken the possible combinations without using a number twice is almost 10 bilion for 6 digits and 49 possible numbers.

With that money they'd be better off buying syndicates, that way their 60 quid will go to a 600 pound ticket, only thing is you have to share the winnings with 10 other people but if the jackpot is high enough that doesn't really matter.
