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 is
49*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.

What is the probability of winning the jackpot if you play the Florida lotto?

What are the chances of winning the lottery?
You have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than winning the lottery which is 1:10,000,000.The chances of winning the lottery are very slim. You have a chance that is so small its not worth it.
A team has the probability of winning one out of every six games What is the minimum number of games the team should play to have a fair chance of winning atleast one game?
A fair chance of winning is more than 50% chance of winning. Therefore probability = 0.5 We need to find a fair chance of winning atleast one match. 1-(5/6)^n > 0.5 hence, n=4 QED (quite easily done, :-p)
When calculating the probability of a single trial experiment with a compound event why is it necessary to subtract?
Well, honey, when dealing with compound events, you gotta subtract the probability of the event not happening from 1 to get the probability of it happening. It's like making sure you cover all your bases - can't have any sneaky probabilities slipping through the cracks. So, subtracting is just a fancy way of making sure you've accounted for all the possibilities.
