The “odds” should be based only on the number of people playing. Not on the number of tickets sold etc.
For example: of the 300 million people in the US - subtract the children under 18, the disabled elderly, those in jail, those in hospital, Mormons and Amish.
Must be about 100 million to 1. Doesn’t matter how many tickets each person buys. 1 person = 1.

“Must be about 100 million to 1. Doesn’t matter how many tickets each person buys. 1 person = 1.”
The way the Chinese calculate it: the odds are 50-50; either you win, or you don’t.
