Australian and New Zealand Lotteries

By Jaime Aguirre

This work is addressed not only to high school students with a passion for the mathematics of chance, but also to those who simply want to understand how lotteries work in terms of mathematics. It is not going to be an in-depth study of the subject, but rather an introduction to basic concepts and methods in probability, as well as how to apply them to different types of lotteries. Youngsters are increasingly being persuaded to gambling through lottery websites, online games and advertising. Understanding the perils of betting, and preventing the compulsion to gamble, begins with education. Education on wagering must start at the core of the matter: the knowledge of probability theory and the relevant mathematical rules applied to evaluate the chances of any lottery prize subdivision. In the subsequent contents you will find a detailed explanation of the mathematical groundworks of Australian and New Zealand lotteries, without recurring to intricate formulas or terms. This book does not promise you any secret or system to win the lottery. If there were a systematic way of predicting a winning combination, the numerous authors of the large number of books on lottery systems would now be millionaires themselves and would not be selling their findings cheaply.
