How Lucky 15 Works

Lucky 15 is a lottery game where players select 15 numbers from 1 to 45. The draw is made by randomly selecting 15 winning numbers. Players win prizes based on how many of their selected numbers match the winning numbers.

Important: Lucky 15 is a game of chance. The calculator provides expected values based on probability, not guaranteed results.

Odds Calculation

The odds of winning are calculated using combinations. The formula for combinations is:

C(n, k) = n! / (k! × (n - k)!)

Where:

n = total numbers (45)
k = numbers selected (15)

The probability of matching exactly m numbers is:

P(m) = [C(15, m) × C(30, 15 - m)] / C(45, 15)
