Depends how you define winning.  If you mean, for example, getting all 6 numbers, and winning the mega jackpot; your chances of doing that are the same, if you are the only person playing, as if you are one of a billion people playing. The only consideration would be the likelyhood of other people also winning; and so the jackpot will likely be less (presumably, it's divided by the number of winners).

Someone on here will know.  I can see the excitement element and initial appeal of 50 plus million, but I would be well pleased with just one. Winning such large amounts would mean that you could be very charitable to less fortunate people and change lives for the better. The odds of you winning aren't affected if more people play but the number of jackpot winners may be greater but then again if more people play then the amount paid out should increase as well..

Numbers 1-31 and 1-12 are likely more commonly used to represent dates, birthdays etc. Good advice if you must play. The National Lottery should be renamed the National Voluntary Tax Scheme.

It better to choose the number in random cause ther's a low chance that you will share your winning to the other winner That has to be one of the longest thread hiatuses to date September 2004 - December 2018.
