    the tickets were €20 and i think there were 550 prizes, but a lot of them were very small. Basically, when they call it raffle instead of lotto people think its better . . .

    well its guaranteed that the lotto is won eventually . . .and the smaller prizes are won the whole time. Plus, the min lotto prize is 2 million twice a week or more if it rolls over and the tickets don't cost €20 . . .

    Live a little. The odds of winning the lotto are 8m to 1. The odds of winning the raffle are no. of tickets divided by 2. Quite the difference.

    Nope, I used to think that aswell until it was explained to me.
    Pretty sure its 45x44x43x42x41x40 / 6x5x4x3x2.
    I used to think it was just the top line but that would be if you were to get the 6 numbers drawn in the right order. That's what makes euromillions next to impossible, the lucky stars have to be in the right order. It's like 76m to 1 or somethin like that.

    You have to choose 5 from 50 and 2 from 9. They don't have to be in the correct order.
    * For each panel that you play, choose 5 numbers from 1-50 inclusive, and two lucky star numbers from 1 to 9 inclusive

    Choose (50,5) = 2118760
    Choose (9,2) = 36

    36*2118760= 76275360

    Meh, was full sure the lucky stars had to be in the right order. Doesn't take away from my point though.
