Come, come, calculate the exact odds of winning the first prize.
It should be roughly 1 in 8 million.

Think you need to divide it by some factor.
Who can remember their probability formulas?
Ok, found a link on the odds.
See I told you it was 1 in 8 million plus.

No need to divide because the numbers are not repeated
I think I need to relook -.-"

I already provided link.
Don't waste your braincells.

char,
What's the probability of 2, 3, 4 and 5 persons striking TOTO?
Cause every year you see them announcing so many winners.
Annoucing more winners would have decrease their payouts to the single winner.

I finally understand the difference
my way of calculation rotated the numbers around as well that's why

Is the probability higher than 1 person?
Cause every year you see them announcing so many winners.
If I can recall correctly, the total number of people striking the top prize for the CNY draw each year is on average 5-8 persons. Each winner will on average walk away with a million plus.
As for your questions on probability, you should be asking the math tutors in the forum.
Do I look like a math geek to you?
still got space for numbers? I vote for 36
