6 correct numbers.
1 is the lowest number.
99 is the highest number.
In order to win, you have to pick the first number right AND the second number right AND the third number right, etc. In the language of statistics, AND usually means to multiply.
So, to figure out your odds of winning, multiply together all of the fractional odds of picking a given number correctly, as stated by the red fractions above.
1/99

I think the chances of winning are 1 in 1,120,529,256.
If you buy 20 tickets you have a chance of 20 in 1,120,529,256.
If you buy 50 tickets you have a chance of 50 in 1,120,529,256.
So on and so forth.

Supposedly there is a better chance of getting struck by lightning three times before you win the lottery once
