The in recent months and income spread less and less. In addition, the and the scarce savings do not give of itself. The most dreamy cling to winning the Lottery or the Euromillions, even knowing that the probability is really low. But how low?
We analyze below what options there are to win the jackpot in the best-known weekly or less frequent draws in Spain:
euromillions
It is the game that distributes the most money on the European continent. Established since 2004, it is held twice a week and awarded the biggest prize in its history just two months ago, with €230 million going to a lucky ticket stamped in the UK.
How lucky? Getting the maximum amount in this draw has a probability between 139,838,160, or what is the same, each ticket has 0.000000715%. In other words, assuming that no combination repeats itself from here on out, you would have to play the two weekly draws for 1.3 million years to hit the jackpot.
The game consists of marking five numbers out of a possible 50 (from 1 to 50) on a table, and another two, called stars, out of a possible 12 (from 1 to 12). The minimum correct answer to win a prize is to match 2 figures from the first table, which has a probability of 22 (4.5%).
There is also the option to play multiple bets on the same ticket, which allows you to cover up to 10 numbers and 5 stars. This would be 2,520 covered bets which, at 2.5 euros each bet, means that sealing the ticket would cost you 6,300 euros.
The Fat Man of the Primitive
It is about choosing 5 numbers that go from 1 to 54 in a table and, on the other hand, the so-called ‘key number’, which goes from 0 to 9. To win the maximum prize you have to hit all six figures, although the draw awards prizes if the key number is simply hit (refund).
Thus, there is a 10% chance to simply receive the return on investment, and a 5.2% chance to win more than what was played by hitting at least two figures on the large table. But to win the grand prize of this draw, go down to one option between 31,625,100.
This raffle allocates 55% of the proceeds to prizes.
Primitive and Bonoloto
La Primitiva and Bonoloto also dedicate 55% of the proceeds to prizes, and their operation is very similar. The first makes three draws a week and the Bonoloto does it every day. In addition, this forces you to play two bets of 0.5 euros compared to a single bet on the Primitiva (1 euro).
In La Primitiva it is about choosing six numbers out of a possible 49 plus a refund (among ten options), although multiple bets allow you to play 462 bets, or what is the same, a maximum investment of 462 euros. The probability of matching all seven figures is one in 139,838,160.
For his part, the Bonoloto bettor chooses six numbers out of a possible 49 and places two bets on the same ticket. Each of those bets has a one in 13,983,816 (0.0.00000715%) chance of hitting the top prize.
In both cases, the lowest prize is the refund, with a probability of 10%, followed by getting 3 hits on all 6 numbers, where the success rate drops to 1.765%.
National Lottery and ONCE coupon
In the case of the National Lottery, the ordinary draws are held on Thursdays and Saturdays. The user chooses a tenth of five figures, so his chance of winning is one in 100,000. To get reimbursement is one in three. The odds are the same for exceptional draws like Christmas or El Niño, although the prizes are much higher than usual on those occasions.
The ONCE Daily Coupon is drawn from Monday to Thursday and also consists of a number between 00,000 and 99,999, so there are 100,000 possible combinations, to which must be added the serial number in the special draws.
