The Australian lottery, also known as the oz lotto, has been present for over 20 years. It is quite popular all over Australia, which might be because they provide a way to engage people and has become a favorite leisure activity amongst friends in Australia. It is also commonly known as the Super seven, as this game is usually won by matching the seven numbers with the drawn numbers.
Rules of the game:
Playing the game is simple. The rules are as follows:
- The individual must pick seven numbers out of a pool of forty-five numbers, as this is the necessary first step.
- The person can increase their chances of winning by also picking up some extra numbers with new lotto purchases.
- Seven different permutations can win the game.
Mathematical understanding of the game:
Winning the oz lotto is based on the individual’s luck. As to how experienced and skilled they are, if they have studied the past trends of the lotto games, calculating a few useful permutations and combinations and understanding the pattern could help the person match the correct lottery numbers from all the data based on previous lotto games.
- For the person to win the game and hit the jackpot, the game’s basic rule is for the seven numbers that they own to match the seven drawn numbers.
- One main thing to keep in mind is that the jackpot could be won by multiple people simultaneously.
- If no individual wins the jackpot, they will be rolled over to the next round, and hence the new jackpot win is calculated to be bigger than the previous. This process continues until there is a match of numbers.
- There are other smaller complementary wins in the game apart from the main “jackpot”.
- One can explain the odds of winning the lotto mathematically in the following points:
- For instance, if an individual gets to pick the seven numbers and all match the actual drawn numbers, they end up bagging around 40% of the win, which is a 1 in 45,379,620 chance.
- If the individual ends up matching 6 of their lotto numbers and an additional supplementary number, they win by a chance of 1 in 3,241,401.
- If, say, 5 of the numbers match the supplementary, they win by the probability of 1 in 29,602 chance of it happening.
- If the person ends up matching just five numbers and no supplementary number, they end up with 2.1% of the lotto, which is again a chance of 1 in 3,430.
- If they match four numbers in the lotto, they can win 24% of the real lotto, a 1 in 154 probability.
- If the individual matches with three numbers, then there is a chance of 1 in 87 to win 26.9% of the lotto.
