Odds of winning any prize
1 in 7.87
Sum of all division probabilities — usually the number the ads quote.
Odds of the top prize
1 in 25,827,165
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 24.6 coin flips in a row correctly (224.6 ≈ 25,827,165). If you bought one line every draw, at two draws a week you would expect one top-prize win roughly every 248,338 years.
