  • 1. Do the odds below factor in each lottery's different maximum (number of) plays? Or are these odds calculated for merely 1 play?
  • 2. Does each lottery's different maximum (number of) plays affect the probability of winning the jackpot?
  • 3. How can I deduce which lottery's jackpot is easiest to win, when they differ in the maximum plays?
  • 4. For example, which has the highest chance of winning : 10 plays of Lotto 649 vs. 5 plays of DAILY GRAND (assume I pick \$7 million lump sum) vs. 2 plays of DAILY KENO?
