I disagree, the odds of winning the lottery is not like a raffle. The number of tickets sold has little or nothing do you with the odds of winning. So if they sell one ticket or 20,000 tickets the odds will always be 1:13,983,816 for the 6/49.


when the number of tickets sold is less than 13,983,816, your reasoning holds true but when they sell 30 million plus tickets

your chances  decrease (because the distribution of all possible combinations is very even  with *way* more duplicates)
but mathematics always hits a paradox wall with gambling: it's allways a crap shoot  with no reason or rhyme

Your chances remain the same regardless of  the number of tickets sold. What changes is the fact that you may have to share your winnings.

Lets just agree that our chances SUCK!!
