The odds of winning the lottery are not good, specifically the odds of winning the mega millions jackpot is 1 in 302,575,350. This is calculated using classical probability as follows:

1 winning set of #s divided by the total number of different mega millions tickets where the

total possible combinations of 70 integers choose 5 and 25 integers choose 1 = (70 C 5) * (25 C 1) = 302,575,350

Listen to the NPR story about a guy who flipped the odds of winning the lottery and figured out how to guarantee a win.
