Winning VS Losing Combinations
Did you know that after each Health Lottery draw, there will be exactly:
Winning Combinations: 152,026 (7%)
Losing Combinations: 1,966,734 (93%)
Winning Probability Calculations
In the UK Health Lottery, you have to pick 5 numbers from 1 to 50. In the draw, they pick 5 main numbers plus an additional bonus ball. To win the lowest prize, you need to match either 1 main number and the bonus ball, or at least 2 main numbers without the bonus ball. The number of combinations that will always win any prize after each draw is calculated as follows:
Total Number of Combinations
The total number of ways to choose 5 numbers from 50 is given by:
\( \binom{50}{5} = \frac{50!}{5!(50-5)!} = 2,118,760 \)
Non-Winning Combinations
To find out how many combinations do not win any prize, we calculate the number of ways to match fewer than 2 main numbers:
Matching 0 Main Numbers
The number of ways to pick 5 main numbers from the remaining 45 is:
\( \binom{45}{5} = 1,221,759 \)
Matching Exactly 1 Main Number without the Bonus Ball
The number of ways to pick 1 correct main number and 4 numbers from the remaining 45 is:
\( \binom{5}{1} \times \binom{45}{4} = 5 \times 148,995 = 744,975 \)
Total Non-Winning Combinations
Adding the non-winning combinations:
\( 1,221,759 + 744,975 = 1,966,734 \)
Winning Combinations
Subtracting the non-winning combinations from the total number of combinations gives the number of combinations that will always win any prize:
\( 2,118,760 - 1,966,734 = 152,026 \)
Therefore, there are 152,026 combinations that will always win any prize after each draw in the UK Health Lottery.
So that means, 93% of all possible Health Lottery combinations will not win a prize after each draw and only 7% of combinations will always win a prize.
With our system, you will be able to play the winning 7% Health Lottery combinations frequently.
