About Odds of the Draw

Odds of the Draw explains the mathematics of lotteries in plain language, with exact numbers computed by code. We are independent: we are not a lottery, an agent or a ticket courier, and we take no bets.

What we do

We publish the odds of every prize in the world's best-known lotteries, free tools to check any format, and guides that answer the questions players actually ask. Every figure comes from the game's published format and a program that computes it exactly, checked twice by independent methods; see the methodology.

What we never do

• Sell tickets, take bets or link to unlicensed operators.
• Sell "systems", predictions or number lists: no method can predict a fair draw.
• Tell anyone that a lottery is a way to make money.
