How the maths works
Lottery odds come from combinatorics — counting how many ways you can choose a subset of numbers from a pool. The formula is:
C(n, r) = n! / (r! × (n − r)!)
where n = pool size, r = numbers to choose
For EuroMillions (Spain), you pick 5 numbers from 1–50 (a pool of 50 numbers):
Then you also pick 2 Lucky Stars numbers from 1–12 (a separate pool of 12 numbers):
Since the two draws are independent, multiply them together:
Each ticket covers exactly one combination, so your jackpot odds are 1 in 139,838,160 — which matches the official published odds of 1 in 139,838,160.
Does buying more tickets help?
Yes — but the improvement is smaller than you might think. Each ticket adds one independent combination to your entry. With n tickets, your jackpot odds become n in 139,838,160:
| Tickets | Jackpot odds | Approximate cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 in 139,838,160 | ~$2 USD |
| 5 | 1 in 27,967,632 | ~$10 USD |
| 10 | 1 in 13,983,816 | ~$20 USD |
| 50 | 1 in 2,796,763 | ~$100 USD |
