Loto or Euromillions? Best Odds

Saruman · 2009-02-07 20:02:36

So which is it? What do i have the best chance of winning? I know the Irish lotto added some numbers in the last couple of years does it still offer better odds than Euromillions?

Is it not the case that almost half the money goes on winnings, then most of the rest goes to charity work etc and only a tiny percentage like 1% or 2% is the profit that the lotto company gets to keep? That is so much money though that it is more than worth it.

Lotto is extra tax for people who are bad at maths.:D
I believe the national lotto pays out roughly 45% of the takings. Need I say more?

Everyone says that, and most people know the odds etc etc
I'd still prefer to waste €2 a week on a chance to win €1000000 than using that €2 on a couple of Mars bars
