If a minimum of 1 person has chosen the same numbers and lucky stars as you then the chances are 0 (No chance). If you're chosen numbers are unique then you obviously have some chance of winning. To work out the chance of winning the first number is 1/50 because there are 50 outcomes 1 of which means you can win, therefore 1/50. Now there are 49 outcomes remaining because one ball has been removed, still one outcome will result in possible winning, so 1/49. This pattern continues for the first 6 numbers. The fractions 1/50, 1/49, 1/48, 1/47, 1/46, 1/45 are all multiplied resulting in 1/11,441,304,000 (one over eleven billion four hundred and fourty one million three hundred and four thousand)

The chances of matching the lucky stars is 1/11 for the first outcome and 1/10 for the second outcome. 1/11 multiplied by 1/10 equals 1/110

The combined likely hood is 1/11,441,304,000 multiplied by 1/110 which equals

The chances of winning the Euromillions Jackpot prize is 1/1,258,543,440,000

(one trillion two hundred and fifty eight billion five hundred and fourty three million four hundred and fourty thousand)

To put this into perspective you are over 179 times more likely to get hit by a meteor than win.

To make shure you win you must buy 1,258,543,440,000 tickets with every different combination and the winning numbers must be unique to you..

so while tickets cost £2 each unless the Jackpot is at least £2,517,086,880,000 then don't even think obout entering with the above suggestion.
