Panel Questions

Lotteries: questions

Where do the odds on these pages come from?

From the rules and prize charts each lottery operator publishes. Where the operator gives no jackpot odds, we work them out from the number matrix and say so on the page.

Is any lottery a good bet?

No lottery is a way to make money. Lotteries pay out less in prizes than they take in, so over many lines you should expect to lose. Play only with money you can afford to lose.

Can I play foreign lotteries online?

Some online lottery sites sell lines in lotteries from other countries. Each lottery page lists the sites we rank that sell it. Buying lottery entries online is not legal everywhere, so check the law where you live first.

Do some numbers come up more often?

No. In a fair draw every number and every combination has the same chance each time, and past draws do not change the next one.

What do the odds look like for a typical lottery?

The Irish Lottery draws 6 numbers from 45. One line costs 2 EUR. The jackpot chance for one line is 1 in 8,145,060. Our winning odds guide compares other games.

How do I avoid lottery scams?

Scams usually ask you to pay a fee to collect a prize you never won. A real lottery never asks for money before it pays. Our lottery scams guide lists the warning signs.

What if I lose my ticket?

An unclaimed ticket is the bearer's risk, so act quickly. Contact the operator you bought from and check its claim rules. Our lost ticket guide explains what you can still do.

Is lottery money taxed?

That depends on the country of the lottery and on where you live. Check both before you play a foreign game. Our guide to tax on lottery winnings covers the main cases.

Set the spend before you pick the numbers.

Most lottery lines win nothing. Decide a monthly amount you can lose, and use the deposit limits on the site you play at.
