average loosing/winning money in Lotto 649

[ulrich]

In the last year I got back about 33% of that money what I have paid for German Lotto 649 (by hitting three numbers of six). I think this is more than I should expect statistically.
What do You think?

Hi ulrich,

Welcome to the bulletin board,
Here are the odds of winning in any 649 lottery.

649 - 6/49 Odds

6 1 in 13,983,816
5 + Bonus 1 in 2,330,636
5 1 in 55,492
4 1 in 1,033
3 1 in 57

I would agree that your returns are very good. Just wish that some 4 and 5 wins come along to totally break even while waiting for the final 6 number jackpot win
