Saturday Lotto odds and prizes
Saturday Lotto is played by choosing 6 numbers from 1 to 45 and nothing else: two supplementary numbers are then drawn from the same 45 and count with your numbers in divisions 2 and 5. There are 8,145,060 possible lines, and each one has exactly the same chance of being drawn. Overall, a line wins a prize of any tier about once in 42 draws.
