    I'll give you a winning tip: don't play the lottery! Spend your money wisely and you won't lose it to useless paper tickets.

    Which lotto? You need to know in order to calculate it :p

    Anyways, I would say the probability of winning the lotto is so much lower than winning $ at the casino..

    not hard, if there is 46 ball and you need 6 ball to win the odd will be 1 / 46*45*44*43*42*41

    Learn the pattern flow. Everything has a pattern to it. If you can figure out the running pattern of those numbers. Maybe you can find a way to increase your chances. Good luck to you.

    I think I read somewhere, that there is a one in billionth chance you will win Lotto.

    So the Math kinda tells all.
