The probability of winning a lottery depends on the lottery. The probability of winning the jackpot is extremely small, though the probability of winning something is not quite as tiny.
Probability is everywhere! If you are entering a raffle, wouldn't you like to know what the probability of you winning is? Or perhaps the lottery? If you need to pick a certain color marble out of a bag of marbles to win a prize, wouldn't you like to know the probability of picking the winning color? Probability is everywhere and can help you in life.
An event which has a probablility of 1 is one that will definitely happen. Probabilities range between 0 and 1 (0% and 100%) with a probability of zero meaning it is impossible and a probability of one meaning that it is definite. i.e. winning the lottery if you never play has a probability of zero and winning the lottery if you know the correct numbers in advance has a probability of one.
It depends on the machine, but hitting the multi-million dollar progressive jackpot on the Megabucks machine is almost 50 million to one. In comparison, picking 6 out of 49 numbers in the lottery is about 14 million to one.

The number of combinations of 50 things taken 5 at a time is (50! - 45!) / 5! or 2,118,760, so the probability of winning the lottery on 1 ticket by picking 5 numbers out of 50 numbers is 1 in 2,118,760, or 0.00000047197. More formally, the number of combinations of N things taken P at a time is (N! - (N-P)!) / P!
The probability is 17C4 = 2380
