How the Simulation Works

Monte Carlo Method

What it does:
  • • Generates a random number for each simulated draw
  • • Checks whether it falls within the winning probability
  • • Counts wins across all simulations
  • • Compares actual wins against the mathematical expectation
The formula:
Expected Wins = Simulations × (1 / Odds) × Tickets

Reading the Results

  • • More simulations give you a more accurate picture
  • • Results show probability - not a guarantee of any outcome
  • • Each draw is independent - the simulator doesn't carry memory between draws
  • • Long-run patterns only emerge across millions of trials

What This Tool Is - and Isn't

What it does

  • • Shows how probability plays out across many draws
  • • Illustrates the mathematical expectation over time
  • • Helps you understand just how rare jackpot wins are
  • • Demonstrates the randomness built into every draw

What it can't do

  • • Predict actual winning numbers
  • • Guarantee any specific outcome
  • • Improve your real-world odds of winning
  • • Replace responsible gambling practices
