LOTTERY WITH THE BEST MAIN PRIZE ODDS

Which is the easiest lottery to win? Firstly, let's be honest, no lottery is 'easy' to win. However, not all lotteries are equal. The odds of winning a main prize, or even a minor prize, can vary greatly between different lotteries. The lottery which offers the best odds of winning a main prize is the Polish MINI Lotto with the unrivalled odds of 1 in 850,668. Whilst the minimum payout for the MINI Lotto, approximately R5 million, may not seem like much compared to the huge main prizes offered by other lotteries, it's still a decent amount of money which could be invested in a business or home improvements, and of course, more than enough to enjoy a good holiday with! The below table shows the odds of winning a main prize, the payouts shown are the minimum payout amounts for winning a main prize. The lotteries shown are those which are available to bet on at Lottoland South Africa. BEST MAIN PRIZE ODDS LOTTERY ODDS PAYOUT MINI Lotto (Poland) 1 in 850,668 R5 million Austrian Lotto 1 in 8,145,060 R16.9 million Irish Lotto 1 in 10,737,573 R33.8 million Polish Lotto 1 in 13,983,816 R7.2 million French Lotto 1 in 19,068,840 R33.8 million SA Lotto 1 in 20,358,520 R1 million Quina (Brazil) 1 in 24,040,016 R1.6 million SA PowerBall 1 in 42,375,200 R3 million Lotto x5 1 in 45,057,474 R1 million Mega-Sena (Brazil) 1 in 50,063,860 R9.6 million EuroJackpot GO! 1 in 95,344,200 R305 million 6/49 GO! 1 in 139,838,160 R17 million German Lotto 1 in 139,838,160 R74.5 million EuroJackpot 1 in 139,838,160 R170 million EuroMillions 1 in 139,838,160 R288 million US PowerBall 1 in 292,201,338 R333 million MegaMillions 1 in 302,575,350 R333 million SuperLotto 1 in 622,614,630 R33.8 million It’s interesting to note that the jackpots which have more favourable odds, don’t always offer smaller minimum payouts. For example, the odds for the Irish Lotto main prize are 1 in 10,737,573 but the minimum payout for the main prize is R33.8 million, whilst the Polish Lotto offers odds of 1 in 13,983,816 but the main prize is R7.2 million, significantly less.

LOTTERY WITH BEST MINIMUM PRIZE ODDS

Naturally, the first thing that attracts the attention of most lottery enthusiasts is the main prize. Many people only check the odds of winning the main prize, others also check the odds for secondary prizes but many simply try their luck, regardless. The minimum prize is hardly ever on anyone's mind, but even if you win a minor or minimum prize, it's still a win! The minmum prize may only just recover your investment, but it's better than a kick in the teeth! Therefore, when considering which is the easiest lottery to win, we should also consider the odds of winning the minimum prize, no matter how low the payout, you've still won a prize on the lottery! The below table shows the best odds which you have of winning any prize or the minimum prize on a lottery offered by Lottoland SA. Interestingly, SuperLotto, which has the lowest main prize odds, is the lottery which offers best odds for winning a minimum prize, at only 1 in 3. MINI Lotto, which offers the best main prize odds, lies towards the end of the table.

LOTTERIES BY COST OF 1 LINE

When considering which lottery is 'easiest' to win, it's worthwhile taking into account the price of a line, this doesn't effect your odds of winning, but it could be argued that if a lottery is cheaper, there may be a higher chance that you'd take the opportunity to try your luck in the first place. Imagine walking into a petrol station after filling up and whilst you're waiting in line, you spot a lottery ticket. Perhaps, if you have some extra change to spare, and you're feeling lucky, you're more likely to have a go on the lottery if the ticket isn't too expensive. Likewise, when it comes to online lotto betting, you may have some extra credit in your account and fancy a flutter. If you subscribe to a lottery, perhaps you'd rather not subscribe to the most expensive one. Playing the lottery more often or subscribing to bet on an online lotto won't increase your chances of winning in any way, but it could influence whether you take part in the first place and after all, you can't win the lottery if you don't give yourself a chance.

BEST LOTTERY OVERALL

If you go purely by the odds, the 'easiest' lottery to win is the Polish MINI Lotto with odds of 1 in 850,668, the main prize for the MINI Lotto is R5. In comparison, the main prize for the SA Lotto is approximately R1 million but the odds to win the main prize are 1 in 20,358,520. One of the most popular foreign lotteries amongst South African lottery enthusiasts is the French Lotto, and with good reason! The odds to win the French Lotto are lower than both the SA Lotto and SA PowerBall (1 in 42,375,200). Furthermore, the minimum main prize for the French Lotto, R33.8 million, is significantly greater than that of SA PowerBall at R7 million. Taking into consideration overall odds and the amount of the minimum main prize, the best lottery overall would be the Irish Lotto, which has even more favourable odds than the French Lotto, with the odds of winning the main prize for the Irish Lotto standing at 1 in 10,737,573. The minimum main jackpot is the same as that of the French Lotto, at R33.8 million. No matter which lotter you choose to bet on, remember that it's never 'easy' to win any lottery. You have a better chance of winning Polish MINI Lotto than US PowerBall, but the odds are still very much staked against you at 1 in 850,668.
