Odds of every prize
| You match | Odds | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| 15 numbers | 1 in 3,268,760 | 0.000031% |
| 14 numbers | 1 in 21,792 | 0.0046% |
| 13 numbers | 1 in 692 | 0.14% |
| 12 numbers | 1 in 59.9 | 1.67% |
| 11 numbers | 1 in 11.4 | 8.77% |
Fifteen numbers are drawn from 25, so every bet shares most of its numbers with the draw by construction. That is why eleven hits, the smallest prize, is so common: 1 in 11.4.
Playing more numbers
Lotofácil lets you mark more numbers than are drawn. Each extra number multiplies the combinations your bet covers, and the price multiplies with them: the odds per unit of money spent do not improve.
