CAN I WIN THE LOTTERY?

Few people will be able to say that they have resisted the temptation to try their luck in the world of game of chance, but what is the probability of winning?
Spanish lottery players could program their bets based on the probabilities, but to achieve this purpose, they would have to analyse the indices of each of the existing draws. From highest to lowest, the probabilities of having more luck and therefore to win the different types of lottery, which there are in Spain, are the following ones:

Christmas national lottery1 of every 100000
National lottery1 of every 600000
The pool (La quiniela)1 of every 4.782.969
The lottery (La primitiva)1 of every 15.000.000
The Gordo de la Primitiva 1 of every 31.625.100
The Euromillion1 of every 76.275.360

As we can see, it is very unlikely that we will be graced with the final prize. However, there is a series of numbers that repeat with some continuity. They are: the number 40 (21,15 %), 8 (18,27%), 19 (17,31 %), 24 (17,31 %), 7 (16,35 %) and 25 (15,38 %). So, remember them when you will play the lottery next time!
