Odds of winning any prize

1 in 75.02

Sum of all division probabilities — usually the number the ads quote.

Odds of the top prize

1 in 28,989,675

One standard game. Two games doubles it — and it's still tiny.

How long are these odds? Winning the top prize is about as likely as calling 24.8 coin flips in a row correctly (224.8 28,989,675). If you bought one line every draw, at two draws a week you would expect one top-prize win roughly every 278,747 years.
