How to use this tool?
This calculator computes the odds of winning a 6/59 lottery (e.g., picking 6 numbers from 1 to 59).
- Enter the number of tickets you bought in the Number of Tickets Bought field. Must be a positive integer (e.g., 1, 5, 100).
- Click Calculate Odds or press Enter on your keyboard.
- Read the result displayed as 1 in X — this is your odds of winning the jackpot with your tickets.
How it works: The total number of possible combinations is C(59,6) = 45,057,474. Your odds are 1 in (total combinations ÷ tickets). For 1 ticket, odds are 1 in 45,057,474; for 10 tickets, odds improve to 1 in 4,505,747.
Only accepts whole numbers. No decimals or negative values.

Frequently Asked Questions
The probability is calculated using the combination formula C(59,6) = 59!/(6!*53!) which equals 45,057,474 total possible combinations. Your odds are 1 in that number divided by the number of tickets you buy.
Buying more tickets improves your odds linearly. For example, buying 10 tickets gives odds of 1 in 4,505,747 (45,057,474 / 10).
No, this calculator only computes the probability of matching all 6 numbers for the jackpot. It does not account for lower prize tiers.
