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 Monday Lotto, you pick 6 numbers from 1–45 (a pool of 45 numbers):
Each ticket covers exactly one combination, so your jackpot odds are 1 in 8,145,060 — which matches the official published odds.
Frequently asked questions
- What are the odds of winning the Monday Lotto jackpot?
- The jackpot odds for Monday Lotto depend on the prize pool and draw rules. See the full prize table above for the exact figures.
- How are Monday Lotto odds calculated?
- Monday Lotto odds are calculated using combinatorics — specifically the combination formula C(n,r) = n! / (r! × (n-r)!). You pick 6 numbers from 1–45, giving C(45,6) = 8,145,060 combinations. The total is 8,145,060 possible outcomes.
- Does buying more Monday Lotto tickets improve my odds?
- Yes — each additional ticket gives you one extra combination. If the jackpot odds are 1 in N and you buy 10 tickets, your odds become roughly 10 in N, or 1 in N/10. That said, even 10 tickets still leaves you with an astronomically small chance of winning the jackpot.
