To simplify this odds in guessing a set of numbers is different than odds of winning something.
If there are 1000 ballots in a box and someone is guarenteed to win and you put more ballots in the box than your odds of winning can increase significantly with more of your ballots.
Odds of guessing something right doesn't change much no matter how many guesses you get unless its a very signifant number.

Think I might have the answer here if nobody has given it already. Where some of you guys might be getting confused is that the guy with 1 ticket and the guy with 350 tickets aren't playing against each other. They are both playing a game which has almost impossible odds of winning.
Odds is just another way of expressing percentages. So what you have to do is convert the odds, 175,711,536 to 1 into a percentage. You do that by adding the two numbers together and then dividing the 2nd number in the odds by the total. For example 9-2 odds, you add them together to get 11, you then take the second number 2 and divide it by 11 and that's your percentage (chance) of winning that game.
So 175,711,536 +1 = 175711537
1 / 175711537 = .00000056911 % chance of winning with each ticket
Take that percentage and multiply it by 350 and you get the chances of that guy winning.
350 x .00000056911% = .00019919011 % chance of winning.
Think that's right.

4-1 odds
Add the two numbers together =5 total chances
1 /5 = 20% - the chance of one outcome.
5 * (20%) = 100% that's if you buy all the chances
or
5 / 5 5 chances out of a total of 5 chances = 100%

What kills me, is people that say "I'm going to wait until the pot gets bigger before I buy my ticket..............."
Yeah, because 7 million wouldn't be enough to change your lifestyle.......................
