I don’t know what the odds would be of 425 Million people hitting the same number combo! LOL It would have to be in the Billions to one..... Still to hit a Million Bucks for spending $2 wouldn’t be bad at all....in my state you would probably clear over $600 grand! I could do pretty well living a nice lifestyle for several years and have bills paid off with that kind of dough!!!! (Still not the $400 Million buy an island type money though....HAHAHA)

It doesn’t matter how many tickets are bought, as the odds are the same. You are drawing the odds from numbers drawn, not tickets sold.

The formula for determining the odds of winning, which I will use one of my national lotteries to explain it.

We have a lottery called 6/49. They draw 6 numbers and the numbers that can be drawn ranges from 1-49.

So, the math goes (49.48.47.46.45.44)/(1.2.3.4.5.6) to get about 1 in 13.98 million to win.

I got this information from a high school math textbook.
