Matt, congratulations for making the least depressing video on RUclips that involves a middle aged, unshaven, man comparing lottery numbers on his couch in a dark room with his dog for company.
Incredible. Matt, if you're reading this, please pin this comment!
This is such a backhanded compliment of a comment.
Before making that conclusion, I assume that you have watched at least 27 such videos.
@@g.g.k.o. if you are a terrestrial animal (e.g. human, cheetah) having a dog for company is - regardless of your gender or top speed - the best choice ever. It shows sentience, prosocial behaviour and capability for having a dog.
@@moooseman3it’s satirical
It would have been hilarious if 1,000 mathematicians all read the paper and bought the tickets; won the big prize; then had to split it...
I think that many people pick 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. If these numbers will be drawn, that will be funny.
At least they would be able to calculate their share themselves... Or copy the answer from another math paper.
What would be even more hilarious, imo, is if nobody played the numbers in the paper (opting to tune them like Matt) and those ended up being a successful strategy
I would have like Matt to have shown how the paper’s numbers fared as well. 🤓
I think I saw something similar once about 25 years ago. I don't remember the exact details but it was something like $30mil jackpot. It got a lot of press for being one of the biggest jackpots in the country at the time and a few news stations covered it and said something along the lines of 'Of course, if you want to guarantee a win you can purchase every number combination for $10mil... '. And then there were 12 or so division 1 winning tickets... way higher than usual. The thought of someone forking out $10mil to win
You actually won two tickets. The ticket [8, 14, 18, 20, 40, 44] has 8 and 20 in it.
He definitely should have just started with checking which set each number came from. 8 & 20 from set 3, and 33 & 56 from set 2. Way simpler than trying to find each iteration of each number across all of the tickets.
@@SirRebrl Could've even mapped each plane to the games on a unique physical ticket. But maybe that's more an engineering gripe.
I wondered about that, since I thought 8 and 20 were part of the same triangle.
Bro's trying to scam the viewers xD
This is where I expected a spreadsheet. Put in all the ticket numbers, then program it to highlight the cells based on the actual numbers you enter elsewhere. It would make a good visual too!
Back in the early 90's when NZ lotto was only 6 numbers from 40, I spent waaaay too long working out how to manually fill out tickets, to guarantee 3 numbers for $10. I mean, every combination was accounted for.... I filled it out to plan , and got 3 numbers.... I won $5... Half my spend, but I'll always remember how proud I was, that I worked it out! And now I watch your videos, because math is fun to work out 😂
I don't get the maths, but filling out 27 lotto pick boxes sounds like something im going to try, like you, if i win a fiver, at least i won, on maths, which would be ironic👍
@@JoJubjub-kx8lp the math worked ( don't ask me how now, it was like 30 years ago, and it involved alot of algorithm, before I new what an algorithm was), but it won't help you now... Bonus numbers, extra numbers, Powerball etc... The math is easy, but to do that now, you need four numbers, of which in NZ, you need for a win, you can't guarantee any win.
That said, I also worked out, if you used the math and purchased $15m in individual filled out numbers, on a jackpot of more than that, you can guarantee first division win, but ONLY if your the only winner
The National Lottery in the UK used to be 1 to 49, so 49 numbers with 6 numbers drawn, they increased it to 59 with no reduction in ticket price (in fact it's double what it was in 1992)
In Italy they are light years ahead. You can pick 5/90, that is Lotto or 6/90, that is SupeEnalotto.😂😂😂😂
"when NZ lotto was only 6 numbers from 40" it still is! The extra numbers are only additional prizes, there is still a base prize for getting 3 numbers out of 6... though whether or not that base prize is worth it is another question.
Don't gamble is solid advice.
Unless the probability is 50% or higher of winning.
@@litigioussociety4249isn’t the expectation value of the winnings being higher than the ticket cost more what you want? Otherwise, if a ticket cost 2 currency units (localize as suits best for you), and 51% of the time you win 1 currency unit, you’re still losing money
@@litigioussociety4249 or it's for sake of mathematics education!

Unless the odds of winning are 90% but you only win 5% of what you staked. In which case, still don’t gamble.

Martingale is a system too.
What's your system
I remember when the lottery changed from 49 to 59 and it was marketed as more numbers to choose from. The odds went up considerably and there were many times when there were no wins.
That's when it went from "it could be you" to most often it's no one at all.
To the point that there are many draws now, where no one wins the jackpot or 5 and the bonus. Meaning that often, the biggest prize won is 5 numbers, £1750.
@@amateurcameraman Indeed look at the sales from years ago, the ticket sales has fallen.
In Italy, they are bloody herassing people to pick from 90 numbers😂😂😂
@@grbadalamenti Wow, like the French Keno, pick 10 numbers from 1 -> 70 ! (the jackpot isn't that good either)

I get it now: all numbers are 2-digit, and "08" is upside-down. I was wondering why they miscalled 80!

@11:10 I thought that "random numbers live" is a proud tradition on this channel. If anything, compared to "Generating π from 1,000 random numbers", "2,000 throws of three-sided coins." and "Matt flips a coin 100 times.", these 7 numbers from a gravity pick lottery machine are nothing to write home about.
By the way, I personally think that air mix machines are more fun to look at. But I'm not from the UK so I don't have much reason to complain about what the UK National Lottery does.
I found the UKs version soooo stressful. 😂 here in Germany when I watched it as a kid with my parents, it’s all so peaceful, almost therapeutic.

@@lilDaveist Used to be same here in Sweden. But have you seen it lately? It's going fast here, they have something like 90 seconds and that's drawing two identical games of 7 numbers.
The non-zero amount of Skylab content in this video pleases me!
I love how elegant the maths is for making this work with 27 tickets.
Every video is automatically a non-zero number of times better when there's a pooch...
Wow, almost 8 years since you covered the lottery on the main channel! Love when we advance the original plotlines like this.
Quite interesting! It does raise two questions though:
(1) How many tickets will you need to be sure you have at least 3 matching digits?
(2) And how do their likelihood of profits compare?
In my mind buying any combination of multiple tickets has the exact same expected outcome as buying one ticket (ignoring prize splitting).
Only thing that would change is variance.
the profit will always be the expected value of one ticket times the amount of tickets you buy, which is basically 0
@@toniokettner4821that assumes that these are completely independent events. But they are not. Given the price payout structure, your EV will stay near zero, but it could change up or down depending on the numbers you pick in theory
To answer your first question, you would need at least 93 tickets to guarantee at least one ticket with 3 numbers. Each ticket has a 1.086% chance of hitting at least 3 numbers, so 93 tickets is required to get the expected number of tickets that hit at least 3 numbers to be at least 1.
But this is a very loose lower bound, since using this method for the 2 numbers problem gives you a lower bound of 10, when the actual minimum is 27.
I also constructed a solution with 819 tickets: split the 59 numbers into a group of 15 pairs and a group of 14 pairs, with one left over. For every 3 pairs in the group of 15 pairs, create a ticket. Do the same for the group with 14 pairs. This should cover all possible draws.
So that's 15 choose 3 + 14 choose 3 = 819 tickets.
I got you an upper and lower bound for this problem, and I'll keep you up to date if I find a tighter bound from either side.
For what it's worth, Matt, a piece of paper with only tons of numbers is exactly how many many people do their lottery tickets. Sadly, most expect the clerk to input the numbers, so I'm happy to see those little scantrons in use :)
Don't most people do birth dates and simple shapes?
That was great! I was able to follow you! I went back and saw the pattern work!
I did similar with a lottery in my state. I even wrote a tidy little spreadsheet program to semi randomly generate the number sets
after spending multiple hundreds across 2 weeks (14 drawings), I only came up with one day that paid more than I spent that day.
most of the time it was never more than 20% over spending
Matt, the first 20 seconds of your video is amazing. Thank you for making this video.
I remember when the 6/49 came to Canada. They ran a huge ad campaign on, "How are you going to choose your lucky numbers?". They had a Mom say its the ages of her children, a guy using the years his parents were born and the year of his first car. You get the picture.
A year later, they ran a campaign in which people in the ads were congratulating their friends and family that "their lucky numbers" were drawn, and the friends and family hitting their heads on the table etc because they lapsed in buying a ticket. Evil
This video was super chilled and a great Sunday watch.
Imagine the universe in which he just happened to win the jackpot and had to figure out how to turn that much money back in to the channel
We would of had the most epic Pi Day video next year
I think this was back in the 90s or early 00s, but I recall this competition where someone won the chance to do lottery for 50k, and now I recall that amount, it was almost certainly pre-euro (finnish marks, 1 was worth 17 cents in 2002 when we switched), and she won nothing. Or presumably she got like, a bunch of two number hits, but basically nothing compared to the time spent filling out 50k worth of lottery tickets. Which of course tracks because lottery is a waste of money.
I liked this video alot tbh, just seemed more down to earth. Truly highlights that you're just a nut job 24/7 haha (I mean that in a nice way) keep up the good work you inspire this 21 year old who had a mandatory understanding of maths throughout school to keep learning new things. I'm sure I'm not the only inspired one here either 👍

This perfectly demonstrates why you don't do lottery. Even with math you buy 27 tickets and get 2 right to win basically nothing. In Finland it's otherwise the same but the numbers are 1...40, they roll 7+1 numbers and you have to get 3+1 to win anything (2 euros, which is twice the ticket price). You have to have 6 correct to win anything worth mentioning (I guess 40e is worth mentiong for 5 correct, but nobody bothers to say they won 40e on lottery, 6 correct is 1600e this week).
bizarrely I did this math on fixed odd football betting back in the 90's. Worked it out on a psion, using some basic matrix calculations. Not the same approach but it put me off gambling ever after. Wish I'd had the platform and courage to show what I'd worked out. Unfortunately the psion has long since passed away. Used it to rewrite my employers annuity calculations as well. Which got me a disciplinary followed by an a award when they realised what could be done. Happy days!
I was looking forward to you ticking the numbers off your tickets in real-time like a bingo pro!
You bought 27 tickets and won 1 extra ticket. Now that's what I like to call PROFIT!
Thanks, matt, your videos are like my guilty pleasure... i think some of my people would make fun of me for watching math videos for fun but ur videos are so good. lol
Fascinated by the box of switches on the desk!
Came for the maths, stayed for the dog.
True story, when I was learning programming in uni I made a random number generator to guess lottery numbers for my state but there was a bug in my code and it would only pick numbers in the 20’s it was late and I missed the deadline for the drawing but I decided to watch the drawing even though I didn’t play and wouldn’t you know all the numbers picked were in the 20’s.
My personal preference on lottery is to play with sets of rows which have minimal possible overlap between each possible pair of rows on these sets. One might argue that such play reduces "clumpiness" of winnings although it certainly doesn't improve chances of winning the jackpot or even getting even. Just that individually random rows don't really have statistical guarantees over a set of rows played.
My dog went nuts during the walking in the street part. As soon as it ended he settled down. We tested it five times every time we rewound the video to that part, and it's any part of that part, the dog instantly reacts. All other parts of the video - no reaction. Totally weird. I wonder if there is a background sound that I cannot detect that the dog is detecting somehow?
He was walking his dog. Does your dog go nuts when other dogs are on screen, I've known dogs be like this so I suspect it's that.

Hi Matt, great video. Is there any chance of a diagram of 5 and or x6 number combo's? it would be a great help.
I loved everything about this video!
From a National Lottery email "In Saturday’s Lotto draw, match 3 main numbers and instead of winning the normal £30, your prize will be boosted to £60*. Double the celebrations!". That is for Saturday, 5 August 2023. So there is now about 1 in 4 chance of making a net £6. The £60 for three matches is a guaranteed amount and does not depend on the number of winning tickets. I wonder if the National Lottery people have read the paper and decided to up the ante.
40 years ago here in Ontario we had the 6/39 lottery. Match 3 numbers and you got a prize. My idea then was to cut a dowel into39 pieces, number them and draw them at random until our group had 10? different tickets. We won something almost every week but never a substantial prize.
Would be interesting to see how many twos there was in that week compared to other weeks
Real gamblers know you only need one ticket to win big
yes the math is against everybody but at the end of the day it is quite binary it is either a win or not.

The numbers went from 49 to 59 in the past few years, right? Off the top of my head, I believe there was no two ball prize, though, just £10 winnings for three. Would be interesting to see if and how this could have been exploited back before the change, and whether you're more likely to "win" before or after
The chance of getting at least 3 out of 49 is much lower than the chance of getting at least 2 out of 59, so if you only care about winning and not about how much you win then it was a good change. The chance of winning the jackpot was significantly reduced, but they did introduce an extra £1m prize. The overall expected value remains that you lose about half your money, since only about half the ticket price goes into the prize fund.
The gimbal spin was super satisfying.
MindYourDecisions posted a video just like this like an hour before you uploaded that's wild
Hi Matt.
Great video and explanation.
I've got a similar math problem, and have been unable to calculate the answer.
Perhaps you can lead me (or create a video) on the correct direction to get to the answer.
The question is: How many tickets can be generated where no 2 numbers are repeated on any of the generated tickets?
In Canada, we have 49 numbers and have to choose 6 numbers.
At first, you would think ( 49 ! 2 ) / ( 6 ! 2) = 78.4 (or 78 tickets)
But wait... not so fast.
That's not possible because a single number cannot appear more than 9 times on the total of the tickets.
Why is that? Let's take the number "1". On the first ticket "1" is with 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
On the second ticket, "1" is with 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. (and so on and so on until...)
On the ninth ticket, "1" is with 42, 43, 44, 45 and 46. This leaves only 47, 48 and 49.
That's not enough to create a tenth ticket, and hence those combinations are wasted.
So... A better limit would be (9 x 49) / 6 = 73.5 (or 73 tickets)
But wait... not so fast.
No matter how hard I try, I cannot get even near 73 tickets without hitting some kind of duplication.
So, what is the real limit, and what do the results look like?
Thanks, Edward.
I've seen a couple of mathematicians react to a certain video so far, but I've really been wanting to see you cover Animation vs Maths by Alan Becker. I think you'd get a kick out of it.
Wacthed the video, great by the way...but how did you come up with the list of 27 numbers?
This isn't very helpful but they sort of just appeared whilst on a train journey. The building blocks were swirling around in my head and that was enough to see this method. (First set I actually produced were less elegant than these but use the same principle)
11:15 Random Numbers LIVE, my favorite tv show.
Oh man, that message notification got me TWICE!
There are many ways to pick your numbers , python scripts ,random number generators ,or manually picking numbers. Picking numbers manually isn't always the best option and people have bias against picking certain numbers .
Well before watching, I think this must be related to some kind of 2-system or 3-system with blocks of size 6, such that any two blocks share at least 2 numbers in common.
That would indicate a symmetric system, aka a projective plane if it's a 2-system, and the goal here would be to construct 27 blocks s.t. any possible block of size 6 would fall into some possible projective plane with at least one of the 27 selected blocks.
So this should be an optimization/packing problem, and since I don't see an immediate combinatoric relationship between 27 and 59, (the number of numbers in the UK national lottery, which I assume is the lottery in question), I'm going to guess that it isn't a perfect packing problem, and there's some "wasted space", but that it is impossible with 26 tickets.
I kinda hope that hadamard matrices, (which are directly isomorphic to incidence structures such as 2-systems, as it happens), play a role in determining the optimal packing algorithm.
I am, however, too lazy to work out a solution before watching, so at this point I will just watch.
Aha, I worked out something similar when I was younger. Back when it was a £1 a ticket in the UK, I used to buy a similar number of tickets once or twice a year and I always won something (often a few things at once).

Great Video. Now if you want to go super-nerd: try one of the US systems with a multiplier ball that has fewer numbers than the regulars (MegaMillions?). Yes, it happens to be high right now, and I'd love to win; but pure coincidence. And/or break the lottery system: combinations that would guarantee a profit.
Hey Matt, here in 🇩🇪 we luckily habe 6 out of 49 only, ok plus an extra number.
How many tickets would I need for 6 out of 49? Or even generally n iut of m? 🤔
The math becomes more difficult because you need 3 numbers to win instead of two, so the whole derivation using the triangles won't work. And if you include the extra win condition of 2 numbers + SZ it becomes even more complex.
@@ReneZ11 oh yes, that seems more complicated. Thank you for kindly replying!
To match 2 you only need 19 tickets. But as already pointed out this does not win a prize.
It is not known what the minimum number of tickets is to guarantee matching at least 3 from 49 numbers is. It is between 88 and 163. I think its a substantially more difficult problem
@@davidcushing4036There's a solution with 163? That's insane!

Hmm, times have changed. When I was a kid there were only 49 numbers and prizes started at 3 matches.

My biggest takeaway from this is actually "That looks like a Labrador" to which my brain immediately rebelled and stated "Ofcource it is a cozey wozey woofsey Labrador, the statistics for it not to be would boggle the mind!"
I would like to know how many other tickets won with the bonus ball? Seeing its a perfectly valid ball to be used it surely counts as an additional point?
Matt Parker: You are such a nerd that you are mathematically the most satisfying kind of nerd for another nerd to watch.
Is there a standardised way to do this? With that I mean: between a choice of X numbers, the amount of combinations needed to get at least Y numbers matching a selection of Z?
The diagram method above appears good for two numbers from a selection of 6 from 60, but for a selection of 5 from 50 it seems not that practical.
The Fano planes shown here aren't going to generalize. They are set up specifically to work with selecting 6 because 6 is divisible by 2 and 3, which allows the numbers to be grouped as they are. Trying to select 5 or wanting to match at least some number greater than 2 would require a different diagram. For generalizing, you might look into Steiner systems (of which these Fano planes fall under). They are set up as S(t,k,n) where t numbers match in blocks of k size from a set of n. So, if you are trying to select 5 from 50 and have at least 3 matching, you would use S(3,5,50).
so how many tickets for n matching numbers?
This is the same thing as the card game where you have to find the matching character
Great video

not worth it, trust me. you won't make a profit lol
1:35 I misread the sign in the window and wondered what a class E toilet is.
It would be cool to display the drawn numbers on the graphs and work out the winning tickets from there
How would you adapt the generation process for the ticket for any size of pulls
for example what if instead of 59 number in the pool the was 80
and what if instead of 6 ball pulled there was 5
I'd be interested if someone could explain it :)
Unfortunately there is no known formula for the general problem. 27 tickets are needed for 60 balls and 28 tickets is are needed for 61 balls. I have a feeling that 48 tickets are needed 80 balls but proving that 47 tickets do not work might be very difficult.
There is a known formula if only 2 or 3 balls are drawn.
I wonder what the optimal strategy would be. I'm assuming, as you buy fewer tickets, your hit rate goes down but the amount needed to profit would also decrease.
The optimal strategy is to buy zero tickets, since for every additional ticket you buy you on average lose a constant percentage of an increasing amount of money.
I haven't had a tv for 20 years (for a long time I was just too poor and then streaming existed) so I am just amazed that interest in the National Lottery still commands a prime time Saturday night TV slot. (And it looks exactly the same as it did 20 years ago)
It streams live on RUclips.
I haven't either in forever. We had an aerial antenna (and for a little while a digital antenna box) and coaxial amplifier a couple years into the USA digital transition. We don't even have a TV tax. TBF, this is mostly because even then it was because we had no interest in watching, we still don't even of the many online options there are now.
@@mattparker2 that makes more sense!
To increase your chances of winning more money, only play Lotto when there's a Jackpot Rolldown. This is roughly once a month when no one has won the jackpot. For example, on the 10th February 2024, all the lower tier cash prizes were boosted. The normal payout for 5 winning numbers on Lotto is £1,750, but boosted it was £4,323.
I sincerely doubt it. But i have to ask. Was that "14 pages" a reference to DarkViperAu?
I honestly thought WHSmith was only in Airports around the world
