- Odds Chart:
-
- This will allow you to check the actual odds against picking the 6 winning
- numbers if you chose from among X numbers. It will first ask you if this is
- a Pick 5, or a Pick 6 game. Then the program will ask you what the highest
- number allowed in the game. It will then show you a chart with the correct
- odds against winning. As an example: if you chose a Pick 5/30 game, the odds
- against chosing the winning 5 numbers is 142,506 to 1. If you pick 6 numbers
- however, the odds of selecting the winning 5 numbers out of 6 drops to only
- 23,751 to 1. If you decide to 'wheel' 12 numbers, the odds against picking
- the winning numbers are only 180 to 1. This chart will be useful to you when
- deciding how many numbers you wish to 'wheel'. You can balance your odds
- against how much money you wish to spend on each drawing. Obviously, the more
- money you are willing to put into 'wheeling' numbers, the lower the odds will
- be against winning.

- The odds listed in this chart are accurate - as they are precisely calculated
- from known mathematical probability equations.
