Roughly 195 million. Oh dear! At least that's the jackpot odds.
When you hear that you can win 50 or 100 million dollars if you play $1, your expected value (prize * expected probability of winning) is still less than $1.

It isn't possible. Quite simply, if there were a way to do it, such a method would spread very quickly and that would ruin the lottery; there would be no more lottery.
55 x 54 x 53 x 52 x 51 x 50 = 20,872,566,000 possible combinations This includes counting combinations such as 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 1,2,3,4,6,5 and 6,5,4,3,2,1 and 4,2,3,1,5,6 as different. In a lottery, these are all considered to be the same. To get the number of combinations without regard to order, divide that number by 6!=6x5x4x3x2 which is 28,989,675
There are infinitely many numbers and so infinitely many possible combinations.
In a 7 segment display, the symbols can be created using a selected number of segments where each segment is treated as a different element.When 1 segment is used, the possible positions are 7because it can be any of the 7 segments (7C1=7).When 2 segments are used, the number of possible combinations are 7C2=21.When 3 segments are used, the number of possible combinations are 7C3=35When 4 segments are used, the number of possible combinations are 7C4=35When 5 segments are used, the number of possible combinations are 7C5=21When 6 segments are used, the number of possible combinations are 7C6=7When 7 segments are used, the number of possible combinations are 7C7=1Adding the combinations, 7+21+35+21+7+1=127Therefore, 127 symbols can be made using a 7 segment display!
Calculate the number of possible combinations. The probability of winning is the reciprocal of that number.To calculate the number of combinations, suppose you have to choose r number out of n. Then the number of combinations is n!/[r!*(n-r)!] where n! = 1*2*3*...*n.Thus, for the UK national lottery (Lotto) n = 49, r = 6 so the relevant number is49*48*47*46*45*44/(6*5*4*3*2*1) = 13,983,816 or approx 14 million. Each combination is equally likely so the probability of winning is 1/14 million, approx.Calculate the number of possible combinations.
