The chance of winning the lottery is 1 in 14,000,000,


well if you were loaded and had £14 million to spare,
then buy 14 million lottery tickets of every combination.

and say if the jackpot is like £20,000,000, you would win and make a profit.

Rightt?

You'd have to buy every ticket to ensure a win, and then jackpot is always smaller than the sum of the ticket prices.

How do you think they make a profit?

But if I put it in a bank... I'd probably be able to get that much on interest without actually having to do anything

I could easily make the 300% profit out of the initial 14M pounds in a shorter time and with lower risks.
