A standard entry picks 5 numbers from 58 plus 1 from a separate pool of 5. The number of possible combinations is:
C(58, 5) = 4,582,116 × C(5, 1) = 22,910,580

"Winning combinations" counts how many of the possible outcomes land in that division. "Operator says" is the operator's published figure — shown so you can check us against them (small differences are their rounding).
Odds of winning any prize
1 in 8.47
Sum of all division probabilities — usually the number the ads quote.
Odds of the top prize
1 in 22,910,580
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 24.4 coin flips in a row correctly (224.4 ≈ 22,910,580). If you bought one line every draw, at two draws a week you would expect one top-prize win roughly every 220,294 years.
