Rainbow Lotto

We all play the National Lottery in the hope of a big win, but what exactly are our chances of hitting that jackpot and celebrating an extraordinary win?

Well they say you have more chance of being struck by lightning and maybe they’re right. The odds of matching all six winning numbers on the UK National Lottery are a staggering one in 14 million. You can of course increase these chances just a little, if you buy two tickets then you increase your chance to two in 14 million. Save up your cash and buy lots of tickets for rollover jackpots and increase your chances even further.

Matching five numbers and the bonus ball can still offer a very nice windfall but that odds of hitting that are still one in 2 million so it’s not surprising that the pot is a tidy sum.

Matching five main numbers without the bonus ball and the odds start to shrink a little at 1 in 50,000.

Of course the smaller the prize the better the odds of hitting it, but in case you’re losing overall hope for a lotto win maybe you’d like to know that the odds of getting any prize is an obtainable 54 to one which isn’t so bad after all.

Saying all that, someone has to win and it may as well be you as anyone else. Good luck!
