I see that this improves the odds of any prize to 108 to 1. This means that according to my calculations the Health lottery "value for money" (as discussed in another thread) approximately doubles and when the National Lotto goes up to £2 it almost equals the Wednesday non rollover Lotto in the table, but its still the bottom of my tables.
I know you are not a lover of the Health Lotto but I think the new setup will draw the punters in.
I have calculated the new statistics for the Health Lotto and here they are...
Match 5 Numbers = 1 Combs = EXACT Odds of 1 in 2,118,760.00 and AT LEAST Odds of 1 in 2,118,760.00
Match 4 Numbers & 1 Bonus = 5 Combs = EXACT Odds of 1 in 423,752.00 and AT LEAST Odds of 1 in 353,126.67
Match 4 Numbers = 220 Combs = EXACT Odds of 1 in 9,630.73 and AT LEAST Odds of 1 in 9,375.04
Match 3 Numbers & 1 Bonus = 440 Combs = EXACT Odds of 1 in 4,815.36 and AT LEAST Odds of 1 in 3,181.32
Match 3 Numbers = 9,460 Combs = EXACT Odds of 1 in 223.97 and AT LEAST Odds of 1 in 209.24
Match 2 Numbers & 1 Bonus = 9,460 Combs = EXACT Odds of 1 in 223.97 and AT LEAST Odds of 1 in 108.18
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Winning Combinations = 19,586
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Match 2 Number = 132,440 Combs = EXACT Odds of 1 in 16.00 and AT LEAST Odds of 1 in 13.94
Match 1 Number = 744,975 Combs = EXACT Odds of 1 in 2.84 and AT LEAST Odds of 1 in 2.36
Match 0 Numbers = 1,221,759 Combs = EXACT Odds of 1 in 1.73 and AT LEAST Odds of 1 in 1.00
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Losing Combinations = 2,099,174
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am sure you will correct me if my figures are wrong

12:45, restate my assumptions.

(2) Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers.
(3) If you graph the numbers of any system, patterns emerge. Therefore, there are patterns, everywhere in nature.
