It doesn't have to though. It's dependant on how many people are playing really.

Good point, I guess someone wins most weeks though, so could be 50/50? Anyway who cares!

2. The numbers drawn in the lottery are 1,2,3,4,5,6

3. The same 6 numbers are drawn every week forever.


Just saw this. I love lottery questions! It's clearly #1.

For the UK National Lottery odds are:
1 = roughly 1 in 3 (Wednesdays) and 1 in 2 (Saturdays)
2 = 1 in 13,983,816.
3 = just to the left of impossible (unless a magician is in charge of drawing the numbers in which case it's guaranteed :D )
