Chances of winning tonight’s Lotto
With around 15 to 45 million tickets sold in each draw, Lotto is by far the most popular lottery played in the UK.
After its inception in November 1994, Lotto has made over 4,000 millionaires, with the largest jackpot at £50.4 million back in 2016.
But, with great popularity comes a smaller chance of winning. Even though the odds of winning are a fraction of the Euromillions, you’re still more likely to be hit by a part of a plane falling from the sky than winning the Lotto jackpot.
Since increasing the numbers from 49 to 59 back in 2015, the odds of winning the jackpot increased. However, with the introduction of the Millionaire Raffle and a prize for matching two main numbers, your chance of winning something has increased.
If you want to hit the big jackpots, you’re better off going for the Lotto, but it’s also pretty unlikely you’ll win anything.
