The simple formula behind lottery probability.

You can calculate lottery odds yourself using a simple formula. Lottist shows you how the math works in real-time.

nCr The formula

49 Numbers to choose from

6 Numbers you pick

13.9M Total combinations

The Combination Formula

The odds of winning the lottery are calculated using the combination formula: nCr = n! / (r! × (n-r)!). For 6/49, this means 49! / (6! × 43!) = 13,983,816. Your chance is 1 in that number.

Step-by-Step Example

Step 1: Write down n (total numbers) and r (numbers to pick). Step 2: Calculate n factorial. Step 3: Calculate r factorial and (n-r) factorial. Step 4: Divide n! by (r! × (n-r)!). That's your total combinations.
