No, in order to win the Mega Millions lottery, you must match the winning numbers with the same five numbers you selected in one line. The mega multiplier adds to your win, if your five numbers are the winning numbers.
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!
Out of the 42 available numbers, you simply select the 6 numbers that aredrawn and announced as the winning combination. Note that you must makeyour selection before the winning combination is drawn.There are only 5,245,786 different possible combinations.
That depends on what lottery you are talking about. - You might make statistics of some specific lottery, but I assume you want to guess which numbers have a higher chance of appearing next time. This simply doesn't work; the fact that some number appeared (by chance) in a lottery in the past, one or more times, won't have any effect whatsoever on the numbers drawn in the future.
