 Only off by one! (x7) Wow not only is every number off by one they are all down by one. The odds of hitting the lotto are insane but the odds of being one number short on every number picked has to be beyond astronomical. I'm pretty sure the odds of having every number 1 less are exactly the same as winning the lottery  |

I'm pretty sure the odds of having every number 1 less are exactly the same as winning the lottery Technically that's not quite true. If one of your numbers is the highest possible number in the lottery, there's no way you're going to be one less than each the winning numbers. The difference is slight, but it's there.  |

If one of your numbers is the highest possible number in the lottery, there's no way you're going to be one less than each the winning numbers. The difference is slight, but it's there. So the winning strategy would be to always choose the highest number possible, so you can never lose to this close call... |

The odds are the same of them coming up randomly on any given day but the odds of both sets of numbers coming up on the same day are going to be ridiculously long. |

You don't need two sets of numbers to come up: you're just choosing seven numbers without choosing the highest option for any number range. A simpler lotto comes out: choose one number from 1-10. Odds of winning: 1 in 10. Now you want to become an internet sensation and repeat the "every digit was one less!" scenario. You can't choose 10, so your options are 1-9. Your odds aren't 1 in 9, because there's still a chance of the 10 coming up. It's like playing roulette with the "0" space added. |

One-away scenario: spin these seven roulette wheels and choose the right number on every wheel, but you can't choose number 100 on any of them. |

That draw was worth 24 Million Euro.
To win at that ticket you need the first five selected from 1 to 50 inclusive.
If you don't get the stars, they would have gotten ~100k Euro.
The stars are selected from 1 to 11.
Keeping in mind that each number you select in group A:
1) needs to be 1-50.
2) Does not repeat.
So your odds are:
1 in 50 on the first number
1 in 49 on the second number
1 in 48 on the third number
1 in 47 on the fourth number
1 in 46 on the fifth number.
Were you to be planning on having every number one lower, your requirement is then that you would never pick 50, and if the 1 came up, you'd lose automatically.
That loss scenario is compounded by the repeated draws, making it 1 in 50 for the first number, 1 in 49 in the second and so on. This becomes a big factor.
And group B:
1) needs to be 1-11
2) Does not repeat.
So your star odds are:
1 in 11 on the first number
1 in 10 on the second number.
While the odds may be close, remember that using a "to the power of" drastically reduces odds, even though it may seem insignificant I'd say missing every number by one is a little bit harder to do. Once again, 11 is something you'd never pick, and a drawn #1 is an instant loss, with 1 being risked in two separate draws with a 1 in 11, and then 1 in 10 chance.

Your odds are off for pool pulls. The numbers are ordered after the draw, not during.
So it's 6 of 50, 5 of 49, etc.

Basically you need to match 14 numbers for this to happen, not just 7. No, your logic is faulty. Forget the original numbers. All you need to match is a series of numbers one below the original numbers. This is absolutely no different from the chance of getting the original ones, apart from the highest number problem mentioned earlier. You're creating non-existent conditions and applying them to your equation, which is confusing you (understandably I might add. This kind of stuff is tricky to master). |
